On the "GK" Course:
Your instructor was well educated in teaching this specific position. I never realized how much I didnât know about goalkeeping after playing the position for many years. The instructor brought the coaching into a step by step progression â which was great. You hired an excellent instructor and I hope to see more excellent ones as I wait for other licensing coursesâ¦!

I want to thank CYSA for organizing such a wonderful course. It was a fantastic experience that I will not soon forget.
