WHO IS TONY DICICCO AND SOCCERPLUS?
For over 30 years, Tony DiCicco has established a global reputation for providing high quality products and services to youth
soccer players and organizations across the USA. As the former Head Coach of the US Women's National Team, he coached the United States to a Gold Medal in the 1996 Olympics and a World Championship in the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. In 2008, he won his 3rd World Championship as a head coach, guiding the US U20 Women's National Team to the FIFA U20 World Cup.
Through all of Tony's experiences in the game, he has developed a proven methodology that is central to every student's experience at SoccerPlus.
CHALLENGE THEM - To know what you are capable of, you must be presented with difficult tests,both physical and mental and you must embrace them. As Tony says, "If it were easy, everyone would do it."
GUIDE THEM TO SUCCESS - Our Directors and Staff are trained to provide the insight, motivation and direction necessary to help you past the hurdles that stand in your way. You must want to overcome them, but we can show you the way.
CATCH THEM BEING GOOD - An amazing thing happens when a coach, mentor or teacher recognizes you for doing something well, you're more likely to find repeat success and your confidence will grow. In order to access your special qualities, we will help you to see what makes you special.
HAVE FUN - The last thing Tony's teams would read before taking the field was, "Play Hard, Play Fair, Play to Win, Have Fun." The game should bring you joy. The passion we feel for soccer is shared by campers and staff alike.

..... GOALKEEPER SCHOOL
SIMPLY THE BEST GOALKEEPER SCHOOL!
Goalkeepers come to SoccerPlus to improve, but they leave SoccerPlus with a new understanding of how to take their game to the next level. It is not a coincidence that SoccerPlus Goalkeepers are playing in Major League Soccer; Women's Professional Soccer; US National Teams; International Clubs and top Collegiate Programs.
Focus on the most important aspect of the game, TECHNIQUE! We recognize that each student enters this program at various levels of ability and with different needs. This program challenges every student to cast away self-imposed limits to reach higher levels of goalkeeping with personal growth.
Explore the psychology of goalkeeping, physical conditioning needed to play at the top level, leadership techniques and training to organize your defense. Students leave the NTC Program with self confidence to aid them on and off the field. Their new found understanding of their position will help them to become an integral part of their team's success.
Put your skills to the test in game-like situations with field players! The Competitive Program will give you a balance between technical and functional training in the goal, develop your goalie presence, and become more tactically aware. This program is not for every goalkeeper or a step program between the Challenge Program and NTC.
