ACU SOCCER CAMPS | KINGDOM KEEPER | GOALKEEPER CAMP

 

Hosted by Head Coach Stephen Salas & ACU Soccer

Built to Defend. Called to Lead. Grounded in Faith.

Led by Stephen Salas, Head Coach of Abilene Christian University Soccer and Goalkeeper Coach, Kingdom Keepers is a two-day goalkeeper camp that develops goalkeepers on and off the field. This camp is designed for boys and girls ages 6–13 of all skill levels — whether they’re new to the position or looking to sharpen their tools in a competitive, Christ-centered environment.

Campers will receive hands-on instruction from ACU Soccer coaching staff, current collegiate players, and guest coaches — all passionate about growing confident, courageous keepers. Each session will focus on age-appropriate goalkeeper development, including shot-stopping, footwork, diving technique, handling, distribution, and communication.

But this camp is about more than goalkeeping. Each day will include a devotional and leadership training led by Coach Salas and the ACU staff, encouraging campers to stand firm in their identity, live boldly in their faith, and lead by example — on and off the pitch.
