GK Parents: Tryouts Are Coming — 2 Resources to Help You Navigate this time
Tryout season can get stressful fast — especially for goalkeepers. The position is different: decisions happen quickly, mistakes feel louder, and confidence can swing from one rep to the next.
To help you and your keeper walk into tryouts prepared (and to take some of the guesswork out of the process), I put together two resources you can use right now:
Goalkeeper Tryouts: A Parent’s Guide (What to Expect + How to Help)
A simple breakdown of what tryouts typically look like, what coaches are really evaluating (beyond saves), and how you can support your child without adding pressure.
Choosing the Right Team Fit for Your Goalkeeper (Parent Guide) A checklist-style guide to help you evaluate teams based on:
- Financial fit (including scholarship/payment plan questions)
- Whether the team supports supplemental GK training outside club sessions (even if it conflicts with one team practice/week)
- Coaching style and support for the mental demands of the goalkeeper role
My goal is to help your keeper show up confident, prepared, and in the right environment to grow — not just “make a team.”
