GOALIE CAMP FORMAT
Our goalie camp also includes the teaching camp in the camp fee.
Goalies arrive a day before the teaching camp players and spend
several sessions learning goalie specific skills. These skills include shot blocking, communication, crease play, clearing, playing the arc and directing a defense. As the main camp starts, they will be integrated into the teaching camp with the goalie directors monitoring them as they compete in the drills.
The play at our camp is controlled and structured. We do not
allow body checking at any time during camp. Over
aggressive play is dealt with immediately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our Goalie camp has two divisions
Division 1This is the high school division and is for players in grades 9 - 12.
Many college coaches will be on staff for this division. This
division handles all levels of experience, from novice to
advanced. If a 9th grader is brand new to the game and is
struggling in division 1, he can be moved to division 2 if the staff
and the Goalie Director feel it will benefit the player. All goalies
in this division will be assigned two to a team for game play at
the end of the week. The top three goalies will be selected from this group to play in the Division 1 Staff versus Camper game.
All Division 1 goalies will participate in a shot blocking contest
during our skills contests. Division 2
This is the younger division and is for players in grades
5th to 8th. We have some of the best teaching coaches in this
division. This division handles all levels of experience, from
novice to advanced as well. If an 8th grader is very advanced in
his skills, he can be moved up to division 1 to play against better
players. The staff and the Director make it their mission to get
each player in the right place so they properly learn and have
some success. All players in this division will be assigned to a
team for game play at the end of the week. The top three goalies
will be selected from this group to play in the Division 2 Staff
versus Camper game. All Division 2 goalies will participate in
a shot blocking contest during our skills contests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our Director and our staff go above and beyond what most camps
do in regards to evaluating player skill level. It is vital to the
player that he is in the right group when learning. Our first day at
camp is spent evaluating players during drills so we can match
them with the proper teaching groups and move them
immediately if their experience and skill level dictates. This
behind the scenes discipline is what sets us apart from the rest.
We hope to see your son at goalie camp this summer. You better
register early as this camp is very popular and usually fills up
around mid April. Take a chance with us, we won't let you down.
