The start every young goalie deserves — built for how they actually learn.
Eight weeks of on-ice fundamentals, off-ice movement, and habits that build real skills, real confidence, and a love for the position that lasts. June through July.
The first few years in net either build a foundation that lasts — or habits that take years to fix.
Every goalie needs a development plan.
A coach who understands how young goalies actually learn
Foundation covers the fundamentals — butterfly mechanics, skating movements, angles, hand positioning — delivered in small groups built for this age, with coaching attention that actually reaches your goalie. Every skill comes with the why, so technique holds under pressure instead of disappearing when the game speeds up. High-success repetitions, age-appropriate progression, and a coach who knows what to build first.

The eight-week progression
Phase 1 — Discover Your Game
Weeks 1–2- Build the athletic base goaltending requires — body control, coordination, spatial awareness
- Explore movement and athleticism through age-appropriate challenges that reveal the goalie skills your goalie will build from
- Connect the excitement of being a goalie to why training habits and movement quality matter
Phase 2 — Practice Your Skills
Weeks 3–6- Build the coordination and skating power that makes technique hold up when drills get faster
- Understand why each skill works — so corrections make sense, practice stays purposeful, and improvement compounds
- Learn proper butterfly saves, skating movements, and hand positioning through high-success drills — with visible improvement week to week
Phase 3 — Test Your Game
Weeks 7–8- Enter the season with real skills, real habits, and real confidence in the net
- Build and lock in a personal pre-game routine to carry into every game this season
- Test saves, skating, and positioning in drills that combine multiple skills under pressure
What your goalie walks away with
By the end of eight weeks, your goalie has real fundamentals — not just drills they've memorized. They know why the butterfly works, why angle coverage matters, and what they're building every time they step on the ice. They walk out with a pre-game routine, real confidence in the net, and a coaching team that already knows their game heading into the season. The goalies who excel at 15 and 16 are the ones who got this right at 9.
- A personal pre-game routine and training habits built to carry into the season and beyond
- A real understanding of the position — what works, why it works, and a coach who knows where to take it next
- Butterfly mechanics, skating movements, and hand positioning that hold up — not just in drills
