Our Mission: Keepers First Academy (K1A) exists to provide the highest levels of quality keeper training to enhance their technical skills, tactical understanding and social/emotional and physical health, in a positive and safe environment.

Our Vision: Keepers First Academy (K1A) will strive to create and nurture a valuable soccer learning experience. To achieve this goal we ensure that athletes are exposed to well-educated and experienced coaches that are committed to developing the skills, fitness, technique and understanding to foster and perpetuate these qualities at all levels of their soccer growth. We will endeavor to empower our players with a life-long passion and love for the game of soccer.

Our Philosophy: Keepers First Academy (K1A) will create an environment where our players develop a love of the game of soccer and continue to participate in the sport throughout their lifetime. Grounded in a strong set of faith based values, we endeavor to provide an environment where we produce creative and intelligent keepers that experience success on a foundation of strong technical skills.

In adopting this style of keeper play, we strive to foster an environment free from the “fear of failure”, where our players can explore and be creative without the fear of making mistakes. We believe that such an environment, with no limitations is where our players can grow the most and realize their potential both as players and people.  While we stress that ‘winning is not always important,’ we also emphasize that ‘wanting to win’ IS important.
