To any parent of a goalie who is switching clubs, the very first question that should be asked is “What do you offer goalies.?” If they say we do not have goalie coaches at every practice then keep looking. I know people will say that Hero’s and M&D don’t have them and they are on top, but are they winning games based on goals saved or because they put all their time and effort into their field positions. The goalies at those clubs are decent but have such good defenders that they aren’t as good as lower Club goalies. You want to be a great goalie? Join the worst team.

Both Heros and m&d have goalie coaching. Can’t be available at every practice but sets up specific goalie times.
