 • Consultation: We at ADI offer consultation to both goalkeepers and their parents in helping them to make
    valuable decisions for their futures. The difficulties that face a prospective student-athlete are understood,

    can be a daunting task for any family, to say the least. Paul’s affiliation with the collegiate level for over thirty
    years can offer guidance and direction in determining a course of action for the college bound athlete.

    development of its goalkeepers.
