Kings Hammer Goalkeepers Union
The Kings Hammer GK Union was created to provide goalkeepers in the Cincinnati and Ohio Valley Region a preeminent goalkeeper training and educational environment. The Union will build upon the concept of a team within a team that is prevalent within the soccer ang goalkeeping communities worldwide.
- Create a support system for coaches and GKs
- Build a Supportive, Competitive environment that will foster growth & development
- Develop a pathway for ALL GKs within the Kings Hammer Family
- Development of a GK Specific Curriculum and Methodology
- Linked to our Kings Hammer Core Values, Game Model, & Playing Philosophy

Once a part of the Union, always a part of the Union
The long-term vision of the Kings Hammer GKU is to create a destination for GKs that is FUN, COOPERATIVE and COMPETITIVE and that betters all GKs who join. We want former Kings Hammer GKs to return home during the off-season from college or pro environments to train, coach our current GKs, and one day return to work within the club.
