Join us this summer at Virginia Commonwealth University for a 4-week Goalkeeper Clinic designed specifically for middle and high school athletes looking to elevate their game. Hosted at the VCU Athletic Village, these sessions provide a focused, high-energy training environment led by VCU’s Goalkeeper Coach, Mario Sequeira Quesada. Each clinic is structured to build technical consistency, tactical awareness, and confidence in goal.

The clinics are led by Coach Mario, assistant coach for VCU Women’s Soccer and a former goalkeeper for the Rams’ Men’s Soccer program. Coach Mario brings a unique blend of high-level playing experience and diverse coaching knowledge. He holds a U.S. Soccer Federation National D License along with multiple United Soccer Coaches Goalkeeping Diplomas, and has coached both locally and internationally, including a season with CD Malilla in Valencia, Spain. As a goalkeeper coach in the area of Richmond, he has helped develop players to compete at higher levels of the game. Before his collegiate career, Coach Mario represented Costa Rica at the U20 World Cup. His passion for player development and attention to detail create an environment where goalkeepers can truly grow.

Across four progressive weeks, goalkeepers will develop essential skills through position-specific training. Topics include footwork coordination and handling, distribution and shot-stopping, sweeping and 1v1 situations, and managing crosses and reaction play. Each session is designed to challenge players while reinforcing strong habits that translate directly into match performance.

We are offering two clinic options for both middle school and high school athletes, allowing flexibility to fit your schedule. Sessions run weekly in May with a built-in weather make-up week in early June. All clinics are co-ed and limited in size to ensure individualized coaching and attention.
