[quote=asksoccernova]Does DC Stoddert have several teams in your daughter's age group?

If so, contact the coach of the lowest level team to begin with and start there. The next thing to do is ask the coach if there is a GK trainer that he/she recommends.

Every club has a GK trainer somewhere on the staff or who lives close by and gets referrals from the coaches. Karen Kelser knows everyone, she is a good person to ask :)

Don't be shy about asking - decent goalkeepers are hard to find and GK trainers are always looking for new pupils, so people should be very helpful.

There are likely a few things your daughter has to learn before she steps on the field with a more competitive team and should have someone guiding her, not just be left out on her own to figure out how to play as a more advanced GK. The position is all about confidence.

My recommendation is Billy Warren (I believe he is based in Olney), if he is too far from you, then ask him if he would recommend someone closer to where you are. 
He can probably give you some good advice also, as he knows the programs in your area.

Start with 4 sessions for someone to cover the basics. Then ask them for a progress report to see if she is a fit with the travel team, and if not yet, what she would need to improve on to get there. If she's ready, then great, and keep working with that trainer.[/quote]
