2020/21 Goalie Training
On-Ice Group Goalie Training Sessions
Squirts/10U and Older
To help our goalies improve their skills, SAHA has again invested into the Goalie Development Program, led by Justin Johnson and his staff (Mega Goaltending). One aspect of our goalie program is on-ice goalie training sessions during our PDP (Player Development Program). MEGA will be at every PDP sessions. The clinics are progressive in terms that they build on each other throughout the year. In past years we conducted large group clinics. Those clinics have been replaced with in practice sessions. Each team will have four on ice sessions with a goalie coach during a regular practice. These sessions are designed to see and train goalies in real time situations. They are not interrupt practices. Look at team pages to find out dates and times.
Intro to Goaltending Clinics
8UGirls & Mite Boys
Justin Johnson and his instructors from Mega Goaltending will conduct on-ice clinics for U8 and Mite players in the levels 2 and 3 interested in becoming a goalie. These clinics will serve as a great resource to make goaltending a desired position within the Association. Before the session an in locker room seminar to the parents and goalies will be given.
Topics discussed will include:
- How to put on goalie gear
- Goaltending psychology
- Sharing stories from Justin & his staff about their careers to inspire young goalies to be excited about the position.
Once again SAHA will provide equipment. Equipment and space is limited.
Please wait for information from head coach or association to sign up.
