SoccerWatt Goalkeeper Camps 2008
BERNIE WATT & his staff will be back to supervise the goalkeeping program at all our sites. Bernie will be present at the overnight sessions at Dean College for the ten straight year. A graduate of Springfield Bernie played professionally and is one of the premier keeper coaches in the nation. A former director of Soccer Plus Bernie has coached collegiately at Union St.Rose’s, RPI and Albany State. Based close to Albany, New York Bernie’s SoccerWatt Goalkeeper School has thrived. Bernie presently is heavily involved with the Blackwatch Soccer Club of the “Y” League. In the past he has been Head Goalkeeper Coach of Eastern New York ODP. “The Blue Falcon” is a key ingredient of our Elite Overnight program with his thoughtful and passionate evening discussions for all our campers. In every way Bernie is a mentor to the goalkeepers under his tutelage.
