This website is designed to satisfy your goalkeeping needs by Shel Brodsgaard, the former National Teams Goalkeeper Coach for the Canadian Soccer Association (2000-2006).  The idea of specialized training for goalkeepers was introduced to Shel in his youth by his father, Kjeld Brodsgaard (a former amateur goalkeeper) and a host of local goalkeepers (Grant Darley & Gord Reading) from his hometown in Victoria, British Columbia. The passion these three shared for the position of goalkeeper, as well as the desire to educate and train youth inspired Shel in many ways from an early age.  In addition to working for the CSA, Shel has conducted goalkeeper development programs for community level coaches and goalkeepers of all ages across North America since Island Keeper Clinics was established in 1993.

IKC goalkeeper development services include club-based development programs, mentorship training, residential camps, summer camps, high performance training, elite residential goalkeeper training and development, match analysis and assistance with University (Canada) or College (USA) scholarships. Shel has also produced his own personal line of educational resources which you may choose from: the Guarding the Goal DVD Video; Guarding the Goal Instructional Book; Speed and Agility Training DVD Video; and Goals and Dreams which is a book celebrating the success of Canadian Women's Soccer.
