Southern Crescent GK Academy, Director is Glen Fox, but they have a team of great coaches and hold year round training sessions plus camps and privates. My keeper has been with them since she was u12 or so, she's u17 now, they have been great. Thry have multiple locations too. scgasoccer.com/ |

Two other sensational options
Dylan Maynard is THE rising superstar of young goalie coaches in Cobb County
Another excellent coach in the Marietta area is Shawn Wash…love the guy
Both of these men are absolute all stars as people and coaches!!
My kids have worked with both and swear by them

Kostas is excellent but I don't know if available since his involvement with ODP.

My kids have worked with both and swear by them If you are not wed to Cobb County and willing to travel to Fulton, I would strongly recommend reaching out Felipe Quintero from Concorde. High intensity workouts and great person as well. My boys would run thru a wall of fire for him. |

The best coach depends on the age and skill level of your kid. Ron Apollon is an excellent coach in that he really focuses on the fundamentals and technique. He was our son's coach from U9-U13 and was great for him. Only drawback is that he doesn't doo private instruction very often and he provides GK training for NASA-Tophat. We did some training at TOCA with Dylan Maynard one winter. Nice guy, but can't comment too much about how good he is simply because of the limited training we did with him. Felipe Quintero is with Concorde. His sessions are very intense and incorporates a lot of movement drills. Lots of touches on the ball, probably not as much focus on technique, but very challenging. Best for top level keepers at whatever age group.

Best for top level keepers at whatever age group. My children have done a lot of work with both Dylan and Filipe recently....they focus on different things, but both are great at their craft. I will say this....as a parent, I want strong role models for my kids. I want teachers who are absolutely passionate about your child developing. I want coaches who have charisma and energy. I always approach it as a parent first. We've had a few lemons along the way, but fortunately those are the exceptions not the rule. My advice parent to parent is track any of these coaches down and talk to them. Ron, Filipe, Dylan, Shawn are all approachable people. Truly good people. Figure out what is best for your child in terms of personality, scheduling, etc. If one of these is not a fit, that's OK......try another until you figure out what is best for your child. At the end of the day, we are all parents here. We love our children and we love soccer too. You have some good starting points. Feel free to DM me offline if you want additional insights |
