PRIVATE COACHING:

Each coach will work with two goalies only during this training session (2 Goalies - 1 Coach). Goalies will get to be evaluated by the coach and also have a "goalies choice" segment where your goalie can ask the coach to observe any aspect of their play that needs attention. The session will take place outside of the regular camp instructional sessions. Training time will be given to camper at check in. There are limited sessions available at each camp and they sell out quickly! Price: $75

VIDEO REVIEW:

VIDEO REVIEW: The camper will meet 1 on 1 with a Goalie coach to go over their play that is recorded at the camp on their cell phones. The coach will have a written sheet and together the camper and goalie coach will write down both strong areas and areas for improvement in the goaltenders form and technique. The goalie will have sufficient time to ask questions about what they see on the video and how they can improve their performance in the goal. Each session will last approximately 20 minutes. The video review sessions will take place off the field, during some of the down time at camp. Price: $50
