SJEB FC EXPAND TKI PARTNERSHIP TO INCLUDE ALL U13-U19 GOALKEEPERS

Girls GA, Girls NAL, Boys ECNL & Boys ECRL

PITMAN, NJ, USA - May 12th, 2025 - SJEB FC are pleased to announce the continuation and expansion of our partnership with The Keeper Institute (TKI). Over the past two seasons TKI has been providing specialist goalkeeper training for our Girls Academy teams. For the 2025/26 season the club has expanded the relationship with TKI to include our Girls NAL, Boys ECNL and Boys ECRL goalkeepers.

The Keeper Institute is owned by former US National team Goal Keeper Jillian Loyden. A native of Vineland, NJ, Jill played professionally for Gotham FC, MagicJack, Chicago Red Stars and St Louis Athletica and had a 4 years career at Villanova University.  “The Keeper Institute is thrilled to continue our relationship with SJEB FC to help support the budding talent of goalkeepers in the South Jersey area. The expansion of our partnership to now serve the boys ECNL & ECNL-RL, and girls GA & NAL goalkeepers, is an opportunity we’re so excited for. We are helping to create the best possible learning environment for goalkeepers so that SJEB FC becomes one of the premier goalkeeping hubs around the country.” Said Jill Loyden.

TKI have been providing Goalkeeper training for our Girls Academy teams for the past two seasons. The directors have received positive feed back from the players, so it comes as a natural progression that all SJEB FC U13-U19 goalkeepers receive the same training. "We are very excited to continue and expand our partnership with TKI to further develop and mentor our goalkeepers on the boys and girls side. We feel this will provide a good balance within the club and benefit all parties involved" said Don D'Ambra, SJEB FC Executive Director.
