X-TREME GOALKEEPING: What's New
Welcome to X-TREME GOALKEEPINGWelcome to X-TREME GOALKEEPING, training for the # 1 soccer specific position.
If you are looking for soccer GK training at any level we can help. For over 30 years Glenn Townsend has been playing and coaching the beautiful game. Over the past decade Glenn has been training Goalkeepers at all ages and levels from u8 to University players boys and girls.
I have been privileged to train & work with some of the top GK Coaches in North America. Tony DiCicco (US U20 Women's National Coach, World champion & president of Soccer Plus schools), Chris Dukar (GK Coach for UNC & the US National program) & Shel Brosgaard (former Canadian National GK Coach) to name a few.
Goalkeepers still seem to be the last thought when coaching youth soccer, even today. Somehow we still expect our GKs to have the proper technique without providing the proper training. I provide this training that I have learnt as a player and Coach.
If you are looking for the finer points, the details that will take you to the next level then this is the training for you.
Schedules should be posted soon, but feel free to contact me anytime to make arrangements for training.

How to fit GK Gloves
CHOOSING A GLOVE SIZE
Every keepers hands are a unique shape. Glove
size can only ever be a guide, so where you can,
try them on before you buy.
If not try this handy method:
With a tape measure, take the measurement
around your knuckles to the nearest half an inch.
Add 1 to this figure and you’ve got your approximate glove size.
