Goal-Line Soccer Clinics  .......

     

    ......  is committed to maintaining the highest possible standards in the quality and practice of our coaching.  It is our policy to use experienced and mature coaches,  predominantly from Great Britain and abroad.

        Our coaches are not only qualified soccer people but most are either working towards or have undergraduate or advanced degrees in Physical Education or Recreation Services.   This helps us to provide the optimum learning environment for the children who attend our clinics.   In addition,  prior to our summer camp season,  we bring all our staff together for a "curriculum-retreat" on the campus of Oregon State University.  The retreat is designed to train our staff in the latest technical and tactical developments of the game.

       Goal-Line Soccer Clinics do not use high-school, college, or professional players who are not able to maintain our high standards.   We believe the staff at Goal-Line to be the best,  not only for their coaching credentials but also for their love and enthusiasm for the game !

        Goal-Line conducts a curriculum retreat prior to each summer camp season.  The retreat is held on the campus of Oregon State University and allows our coaches to get together to discuss new tactical and technical developments from around the world.  Many of our coaches are current members of various professional coaching organizations such as AFCAT (the Association of Football Coaches and Teachers),   FACA (the Football Association Coaches Association), US Soccer Coaches Organization and the NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America).

Our coaches are chosen for their ability to interact with young people in a friendly and fun manner.  They are also chosen for their impact as positive role models to young people.
