The Finishing and Goalkeeping Academy will focus on the art of scoring and saving goals. Training will center on the technical functional aspects of finishing and goalkeeping. Power shooting, finesse shooting, volleying, heading and free kicks will be the areas of concentration for field players. Goalkeepers will be trained on all aspects of goalkeeping including footwork, diving, punching, catching, handling crosses and reading angles. Individual and game related training will be used to make you a better goal scorer or goal saver. The benefit of this Academy is that both the field players and goalkeepers will receive separate hands-on instruction. They will then have the opportunity to combine in the final stage of training to take and face shots, hit and handle crosses and take and defend against free kicks.  Not recommended for beginners.

The golf camp at Van Patten Golf Club will serve as a great entry level opportunity for kids to experience the game of golf. The program will be geared towards those that are looking for a first time exposure to the game as well as those that will be looking to sharpen their skills. It will be both fun and rewarding. The program will be staffed with a PGA professional as well as at least one PGA Apprentice, guaranteeing a high level of instruction. There is a 16-player maximum this year to each class, insuring a productive student to teacher ratio. We will also be offering a second session if you are unable to make the first. Both  sessions are identical in progression; therefore we recommend that you choose one or the other, not both as we will be starting from square one at the start of the second session. We will be working on all aspects of the game which will also include playing on our course at least once! Bring a drink, snack and sun protection. Each player should have his or her own equipment; however a limited amount will be available.
