  • Lead weekly GK coaching sessions across Academy age groups; deliver individual and small-group technical and tactical training.
  • Provide direct coaching and performance support to elite Academy goalkeepers and prepare them for first-team trials and professional competition.
  • Manage, mentor, and evaluate Academy assistant goalkeeper coach; recruit, onboard, and deliver coaching education and professional development.
  • Design individualized development plans (IDPs) for goalkeepers; set measurable objectives and track progress using data, video analysis, and performance metrics.
  • Coordinate with Academy coaches, sports science, medical, performance analysis, and scouting teams to integrate goalkeeper development into broader player development systems.
  • Oversee identification and recruitment of Academy goalkeepers; attend scouting events, regional showcases, and talent ID sessions.
  • Plan and lead goalkeeper-specific match preparation and in-game support for Academy matches; provide post-match feedback and analysis.
  • Maintain and manage GK coaching resources, session plans, training equipment, and technology (video, data platforms).
  • Ensure compliance with Club policies, child safeguarding standards, and MLS/MLS NEXT guidelines.
  • Represent the Club at regional/national goalkeeping forums and maintain professional networks to ensure best-practice alignment.

What You'll Bring:
  • 5+ years of experience as a goalkeeper coach in professional academies, elite youth environments, or professional clubs; MLS/USL/MLS NEXT experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated track record developing goalkeepers who progress to professional contracts and/or national youth teams.
  • Strong knowledge of modern goalkeeper techniques, playing with feet, distribution, shot-stopping, and set-piece organization.
  • Experience managing coaching staff and delivering coach education.
  • Competence with video analysis tools, GPS/monitoring systems, and performance metrics.
  • Strong communication skills to build relationships and collaborate effectively with players and staff.
  • Bilingual skills a plus.

Requirements:
  • Advanced goalkeeper coaching certification(s) (e.g., USSF A/B, UEFA A/B or equivalent); specialized GK diplomas/certifications strongly preferred.
  • Willingness to obtain SafeSport certification.
  • Ability to pass a criminal background check.
  • Flexibility to work evenings and weekends, with the ability to travel locally and nationally as needed.
