General Information
At Total Goalie 360 we feel proud to provide all of our goalkeepers the most up to date goalkeeping training methodology, brought directly from the best youth soccer development area in the world, Barcelona.
Johan Cruyff & Pep Guardiola showed us the important role that goalkeepers play on the field in a system where attacking and defending is based on ball possession. This soccer philosophy and style have been recognized around the world due to the huge success that FC Barcelona, the Spanish National team, and other top soccer clubs such as Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid or Sevilla FC, have had in last 25 years. Obviously, the goalie needs to make quality saves, but the ability to use their hands and feet equally is very important. The goalkeeper needs to be the 11th field player as well as key defender of the goal.
