Fall 2013 Goalkeeping Program
Competitive Goalkeeping will be building on the base we’ve started over the past seasons to continue moving Westfield’s goalkeepers forward in their technical skills, tactical awareness, and mental toughness. As always, they will have challenging sessions designed to push our keepers outside of their comfort zones. With encouraging coaches, and owner, Steve Lengen’s ten years of goalkeeper coaching experience, this fall will prove to be the best season yet for our keepers. Session topics will include: for our U9/U10 keepers – Proper Footwork and Body Position, 4 Variations of the Contour Catch: Contour, High Contour, Low Contour, and Side Contour, Low and Collapse Diving, Breakaways, and Dealing with High Balls: Shots and Crosses. For the U11 and above keepers, additional sessions will include topics such as: Extension Diving, Advanced Breakaways: Reading and Dealing with Thru-Balls, Points During a Breakaway: Before, During and After the Shot, Importance of Setting Psychological Tone, Game Management, and Dealing with Set Pieces.

Lade grew up in Morris Township and attended Morristown High School. After playing four seasons at St. John’s University he made his Red Bulls debut on April 2012. Lade earned his first call up to the U.S. Men’s National Team in January 2013 and was named to the squad’s 23-man roster ahead of the January friendly against Canada.
Concussion Education and Baseline Testing
According to the C.D.C., the rate of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) ER visits for children and youth between 5 and 18 of age increased 57%. This is likely due to increased awareness of the importance of early diagnosis of TBI and baseline testing.
In our continued effort to educate WSA Parents and Coaches on youth concussions, please use the Concussion Education and Baseline Testing link under Site Contents to educate yourselves with HEADS UPS Concussion in Youth Sports online training. Also provided is a link to conduct Baseline testing through ImPACT for your children and players.
