Welcome
Pells Keeper School (PKS) is a goalkeeper school that is geared to educate young motivated goalkeepers in all components of the game. Not only will your son or daughter be challenged each session, but they will be presented with difficult challenges, both physically and mentally. PKS will guide your child to success and make them enjoy the goalkeeper position as well as soccer. I will be a motivator and directing your child with proven methods to help them get past the hurdles that stand in their way. First, they must want to overcome them, and PKS can show the way. I also promise to focus on positives and reinforce great habits while tackling the components of the game that goalkeepers typically struggle with. I will be a mentor, a teacher, and a guide for success. Finally, every goalkeeper will work hard in each session, but more importantly, have fun doing it. The game and this position should bring challenges, joy, and excitement. Each goalkeeper will have fun training with me and the PKS staff.
My Mission
My mission is to educate each goalkeeper with the proper skill levels in the areas of technique, tactics, and the physical and mental aspect of the game. Through my training each goalkeeper will have the fundamentals to understand the demands of the game, achieve greatness, and grow from it.

"Laurie brings the perfect blend of knowledge, experience, intensity, and enthusiasm to her training sessions. Combine that with an extensive network of college coaches and the opportunity for development and exposure for future playing opportunities is hard to beat."
Rachelle Beanlands- University of Maryland Goalkeeper from 2011-2015
Coach Pells is the real deal. She’s played at the highest level of women’s soccer, and it shows in her extensive knowledge of the position. Personally, I had an incredible college soccer experience with Pells as my coach and mentor; I looked forward to training every single day! Her sessions are hard work but amazing fun, and I found myself developing and learning without even realizing it. Definitely one of the best coaches I’ve ever had!

Training Philosophy
Developing the Complete Player
The modern Goalkeeper has increased demands to be a more complete player than ever before. The responsibilities of the goalkeeper extend far beyond just standing between the posts. From being the first line of attack to the last line of defense. Pells Keeper School Goalkeepers will learn the technical skills needed to be successful and tactical savvy from playing in the goal in game like situations, under the guidance of a goalkeeper coach, coaching the player from in the goal and not from the sideline.
