Monday Goalkeeping

So it seems like Monday has turned into the day in which goalkeepers show up for training. Monday is normally a day in which no teams practices.

I have 4 regulars: Sabelo, who I work with at AMICAALL, is a member of the Nhlangano Sun which qualified for the SwaziBank from our region (2 games in Cup).

Gobashie - Is the backup keeper for the Mbabane Highlanders (1 game in Cup, although didn't play

Jamermique - Starting Keeper for Premiere league team Cosmos (3 game sin Cup)

Plus 2 younger ones

And very rarely the keeper of my own team shows up.

They are getting specific training that they don't get anywhere else. Keepers here basically just practice in the goal as the team plays its practice drills.

Plus, it is really nice to be passing on the knowledge I got in head from decades of playing, coaching and thinking about soccer.
