Goalie Clinic - Fall/Winter (Semi-Private)/Pre-Tryout - Ages 6+
The Goalie Development Clinic is an instructional program designed by experienced goalies and focused on teaching and developing both the physical skills and techniques, as well as a better understanding of the position, to improve on-ice performance.
Using a station-based model for on-ice instruction, our approach for development places a particular emphasis on skating, balance and agility. As well, we balance teaching the modern approach to movement and technique with deliberate attention to effective stick use and stick positioning.
Without attempting to modify the style or interfere with the athleticism unique to each goalie, we work to strengthen fundamental skills necessary for goalies at different levels of play. Our philosophy is not to make each one of our goalies look the same; it is to use our experience from playing and teaching the position to identify gaps or areas for improvement, and to create drills and provide instruction that allow our goalies to develop the skills suited for their game.
Senior and junior instructors lead a variety of drills that challenge our goalies to apply proper positioning and to anticipate the play developing in front of -- or behind -- them; to execute the appropriate lateral movement that gets goalies to the right spot and at the right time; to use the necessary technique that increases their chances to make the save and manage where the puck goes next; and to understand how to recover immediately after making the save.
Goalies are assigned to groups based on age and skill, with our instructional staff and shooters adapting elements of each drill to meet the abilities of our goalies.
