Divergent Goalkeeping Academy – Of our own kind, united we stand

Dear Goalkeepers and Parents,

Welcome to Divergent Goalkeeping Academy. I am very excited to introduce to you this training program launching summer 2017. Starting in the summer, we will have goalkeeper specific training that will be split up by age group and will be held weekly. This website will show you what it’s like to be a modern-day goalkeeper, how to train properly, how we will schedule and run train sessions, and what Divergent Goalkeeping Academy will provide as a program. If you ever have any questions or concerns about Divergent Goalkeeping Academy please feel free to reach out to me. I am very excited to start this program with you all.

- Josh Rohde.

May 18, 2017

We’ve had training the last 3 days and they’ve gone really well for me personally. I think I’ve been showing well.

In all fairness a good driven ball was played into the box early and it was good enough to make me quickly second guess to come or not. I also wonder that since I didn’t come if I was more decisive in... Read more»

4/29/17 – Game vs. UW-Whitewater (3-1 FT)

April 29, 2017

Today we played the school that I not only played at, but the school that I coach at. Despite the fact that we won I was impressed with the UW-Whitewater team as I thought they showed well in some very suspect conditions. I was not called into duty today in the Starting XI but I still had to be professional in my approach. Read more»
