About the Camp
Goalie Training Built Around One Position
Most players never dedicate real time to their shot. This camp fixes that. Over three evenings, players take hundreds of reps — breaking down shooting from the ground up — and leave with a measurably faster, more accurate shot. It's the most focused shooting experience in New Jersey.
200+ Saves Per Night
High-volume rep training builds instinct and reduces reaction time in real game situations.
Take-Home Drills
Coaches send every player home with individual, partner, and small group drills to keep developing independently.
Live Shooters Each Night
Goalies face live shots from Monmouth's Shooting Camp — real competition, real pressure, real growth.
