We are excited to Welcome Coach Jack Runkel and Coach Brian Kavanagh to Cleveland for 2 separate 2 hour Sessions at The Magis Center on the campus of Saint Ignatius HS in Cleveland, Ohio! 

Coach "Runk and Coach "Kav" are bringing their Goalie Workshop ideology to give a great look into their thought process on the position, with new drills, different techniques, and different voices in teaching this position. We at KBGA firmly believe it is vital to have more points of view than just ours, and there is nobody better in the country than The Goalie Workshop for this event to do so. 

Coach Runkel's Background:

Jack Runkel is a Fairfield, CT native who started playing goalie in the 4th grade. After a successful career at Loyola University Maryland, where he won a National Championship in 2012 and still currently holds the record for Least Goals Against in an NCAA Division 1 National Championship Game (3), he started his career in coaching Division 1 college lacrosse. During his 7 years of coaching, Coach Runkel has spent time as a member of the coaching staff at Georgetown University, Yale University, Manhattan College, and Long Island University. He has been lucky enough to work with elite Division 1 goalies including Nick Marrocco (Cannons LC, 2019 MLL Champion), Will Mark (USILA All American, #1 in the country in Saves Per Game, NEC Defensive player of the year), Brendan Krebs (2022 MAAC Champion, First-Team All MAAC, MAAC Defensive Player of the Year) and Hoyt Crance (2019 National Champion).

Each Session has their own registration. By no means do you need to attend both. The Goalie Workshop is offering two unique and separate sessions to give you flexibility and choice as to which you would like to attend. These coaches don't get to Cleveland often! We would love to see goalies attend both as they will each have some unique differences and a change of drills for each session! 

*NO REFUNDS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE EVENT YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR.
