Summer GK Training Camp – Occidental College

Description
The NCE Soccer Summer Training Camp at Occidental College offers a specialized, professional environment for goalkeepers (ages 8–18) who are ready to master the most demanding position on the pitch.
Our curriculum moves beyond basic shot-stopping, focusing on the modern "Pro-GK" profile. Sessions are built around game-realistic scenarios that integrate the goalkeeper into the flow of play, emphasizing decision-making under pressure rather than isolated repetitions.

NCE Player Number
- To help support player identification in our select events, we utilize a player numbering system.
- Every player selected for a Center of Excellence or College Pathway program will be assigned a special NCE Player Number. Players cannot request a number.
- After registering, you can find your player’s number listed in their details in your NCE Family Account, and instructions on ordering your player’s uniform will be found there.
- This number will remain with the player for their entire time with NCE and will not change from season to season or year to year. The only exception is if the player does not register for an NCE event for 2 years, their number will be reassigned.
