Darren Debo

I grew up in Grove City and graduated from Grove City High School in 2001.  Played in Grove City as a kid and young adult.  I had a real passion for making the soccer experience better than I had it.  Playing soccer in the 1990’s,  there were no goalkeeper coaches at the youth level.  I had to learn everything on my own, reading books and watching games.  Soccer practice was no fun, no one knew what do with the goalkeepers.   I swore I was going to change that for everyone that wanted to be a goalkeeper after me.
