Our Mission Building Blocks Goaltending strives to provide the finest educational and instructional program available to goaltenders. We afford each goaltender the opportunity to learn and develop the skills and intangibles required to be a successful goaltender. We focus on the fundamentals crucial to today’s blocking, body-based game: shot preparation, occupation of space, building net coverage, visual attachment, loading the post, and post-save responses such as power leg recovery, movement while down, and post-save rotation. Then, using our innovative stations system, our staff is able to tailor each drill based on each student’s strengths and weaknesses. |
