When a legacy meets success in goalkeeping

Our son has attended the SGA camp for the past 3 summers and has gotten so much out of it. His technical skills and goalkeeper mindset have been honed and Coach Gaspar has also worked with our son one on one which has been invaluable. We are so pleased to say that our son, now a senior in high school, is on his path to his dream of playing D1 soccer at an elite academic university.

35 years ago Dan’s vision, commitment and dedication took my son Rob from a young, raw, talented athlete to an allstate High School Keeper then on to a starting Keeper for Princeton University culminating with a final 4 NCAA tournament team. For the past 4 years he has been working with our granddaughter who has developed a solid skilled presence in goal. She is playing with confidence and conviction while earning the trust of her high school and premier level teammates. Recently she received an incredible offer to continue her passion and dream of playing collegiate soccer in 2025.
