Philosophy

Our philosophy at Cincinnati United is to teach and coach our young goalkeepers to become masters of the fundamentals of goalkeeping. At the same time, goalkeepers experience a high level of competition and training driven by a staff of former collegiate and professional goalkeepers and coaches. This is obtained in an atmosphere that fosters good sportsmanship and leadership on and off the field. In addition, today’s goalkeeper has to be technically and tactically sound with their foot skills. Cincinnati United will train all goalkeepers to use their feet in team training. All Cincinnati United goalkeepers will be expected to play as sweeper-keepers. The goalkeeper coaches will be responsible for the instruction of the CU Goalkeeper Curriculum throughout the season.
