Shield Goaltending’s summer goalie camp will run from August 21 to 25 and is designed to push goalies to reach their full potential and tune up for the upcoming season.
Dates: August 21-25, 2023
Location:Â TBT
Camp Overview
- Marek Benda runs every session
- 10 hours of goalie sessions
- 3 hours of edge work
- 6 hours off-ice development
- Special gift & jersey provided
- Video feedback (on-ice)
The camp will focus on the wide variety of skills needed for U11 goaltenders, including crease management as a lot of goaltenders this age play too deep in the net. There will also be a focus on the activation of their hands to prevent high shot goals as well as being patient and staying on their feet as long as possible, which will allow them to select the proper save on shots or breakaways.
We will continually be working on good goalie mechanics and fundamentals as repetition of basic movements develops muscle memory, which is extremely important for this age group.
On-Ice Development
- 13 hours on-ice
- 1 coach at each net for direct feedback
- 2 goaltenders per net
- Low student-to-coach ratio (1 coach per 2 goalies)
- Instant video feedback
Edge Work Sessions
Three (3) hours will be designated for skating. Goalies require good footwork to move on time and make the proper save selections. We want Shield goaltenders to become strong skaters and reach their potential.
Video Recording and Feedback
Shield Goaltending will record video of the goalie executing drills. We will review content with goalies immediately and/or upload feedback on our App.
Off-Ice Development
- Goalie Classrooms
- Presentations on a variety of topics (mental game, goalie gear, etc.)
- Sense Arena VR technology
- Balance, Speed, Agility Training
- Stretching & Recovery Sessions
- Games
Goalie Classroom
Goalie classrooms will focus on new themes each day, including goalie movements, save selections and specific techniques. It will help goaltenders visualize what we will require from them in their on-ice sessions.
Other Benefits:
- Be in a positive environment
- Tune up for the upcoming season
- Experienced goalie instructors
We want every goaltender to leave the camp with new skills, good habits, increased confidence and with a big smile.
