[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, most travel teams would LOVE a player that wants to be a keeper, and there are plenty of summer camps that are keeper specific. 
If I were you, I'd email the training director at Bethesda Soccer Club, tell him exactly what you said here, and see what he has to say.

i'll be interested in seeing what he has to say. I think US system of goalie development shunts kids too early into gk - which is why us keepers are atrocious with their feet compared to spanish counterparts. [/quote]

That's an idiotic statement, as US keepers have been celebrated as excellent all over the world. 
The phenomenon of the sweeper keeper, or the keeper that's expected to play a lot of touches from the back, is a brand new one, and there are only a few keepers in the world right now that are actually good at it...and only a few teams in the world that actually care.
A keeper with great ball skills is like a pitcher that can hit...it's a nice bonus, but it's no ones priority. [/quote]
