Welcome to the new home of Shot Stoppers Goalkeeping Academy founded in 1995 by Vincent Donnelly. Vincent has been coaching goalkeepers for over 20 years, and has been playing goal himself for over 30 years. Originally from London, England Vincent has coached the goalkeepers for the 2004 Vancouver Whitecaps Men's team of the USL. Vincent has coached many B.C Provincial teams as well as the Canadian Women's National team goalies in 1999. In the 15 years since Shot Stoppers opened we have had many goalies play at the B.C Provincial level. 18 have received University scholarships, 2 played in England, 5 play for the Canadian youth and full National team. Last year one of our original Shot Stoppers goalies Sdjan Djcankovic played for Toronto F.C of MLS. Shotstoppers runs weekly Goalkeeping training sessions in Coquitlam, PoCo and Burnaby as well as summer Goalkeeping camps. Shotstoppers also has consulted for many University, Colleges, and B.C Provincial teams.
