About the coach: Jake Dodd has three NSCAA National goal keeping licenses… The most recent course was run by Portland Timbers’ GK coach, Adam Smith. Over the past eight years, Jake has run scores of goalkeeping camps in several states for various age groups and skill levels. In addition to producing two Pennsylvania, All-State High school goalkeepers, he’s coached more than ten, All-District and All-Region selections. IgniteGK is committed to the growth and development of soccer goalkeepers.
“For me, the most satisfying part of coaching has been watching kids develop an interest, work at it because they love it, and then achieve because they’ve worked for it. I’ve been lucky enough to see keepers (with whom I worked in high school), start in-goal for their college teams. I’m proud that IgniteGK had a role in their success.” Jake is currently coaching year-round workouts at Erie Premier Sports and is the goal keeping coach for the boys and girls soccer teams at Fairview high school, Fairview, PA.
