Not sure if this is the right place to post or not. If not, I do apologize in advance.
A good friend of mine, Ray Newland (CEO, Just 4 Keepers) is coming down from the UK to host an ID Camp here in Atlanta. He also wants to have a goalkeeper war tournament.
Does anyone know of a good location to host this event at? One will be in April and another in June 2015. Interested in renting or partnership. It can be with a club, school, or park.

anyone know the status of Lake pointe??
any thoughts of having him maybe work with ga soccer for partnership?
the other good source might be with British challenger sports.
they seem to be a good "impartial" soccer organization and obviously already have the UK ties.

I"ll second the suggestion of contacting Challenger Sports. My oldest did a camp of theirs at age 5 and we've been a soccer family since. She even had one of their regional directors, Neil Lynch as a coach at NSA one year. Can't say enough about the guy. He knows what he's doing that is for sure. Here's a contact page at Challenger Sports with email and phone numbers for Greig Munro and Neil Lynch. Challenger Sports Contact Us page |

GK war event sounds cool. I'd watch.
I enjoy non traditional events like 3v3. I wish somebody would do a soccer tennis tourney.

I second/third challenger. Good people. They hosted a non-traditional soccer tournament this past summer with great success. a beach soccer tournament. They have experience with the process and aren't looking to play club favorites. yes, their challenger cup tourneys are typically more 2nd tier, but that doesn't mean a tourney like this couldn't be class act of the best keepers in the city.

Thank you for the suggestions. I did try the challenger angle and they have an affiliation with another keeper camp program so it would be a conflict.
If you know of any club in the area that would be interested in us using fields might be the best bet. I can help bring some eyeballs to the club as well as have all concession sales. I might be open to barter. I can supply free gloves to the clubs keepers in trade for use of fields.
It will be heavily promoted. The winners will get an entry to National Championships in Orlando. Winner of the nationals will get a years supply of keeper gear and for the older brackets will get an all exclusive trip to UK to attend an ID camp and even signed to an agency.
The first year won't be huge but the second year will be pretty big once the word gets out.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Thank you everyone for all your input. J4K Has secured a location and classes begin March 6th! We have an ID Camp all set up in June along with a Keeper War tournament. Keep the suggestions coming. We are looking to open 2nd and 3rd location this year. We are a great value add to any soccer club program. Thanks again everyone and hope to see you at maybe one of the keeper wars. Thanks, Just4Keepers- Georgia just4keepers.com/goalkeeper-coaching-in-georgia/ |
