Summit Goalkeeping was founded in 2020 because of the drastic need for a quality Goalkeeper Academy in Calgary. Summit has since developed 34 goalkeepers into University & Professional settings.
The ultimate purpose for our programs is to develop lifelong goalkeepers. We want our athletes to remember Summit as a positive, competitive and fun experience that prepared them for their future.
