Goalkeeping Clinic Details

The BC Lacrosse goalie clinic is a four session, teaching intensive goalie clinic for coaches and players.  Each session will concentrate on critical components of goalie play with the aim of developing complete players and will include both "lecture" and field play.

• Session 1 will focus specifically on stance and save mechanics.
• Session 2 will cover proper arc play and position in the cage. 
• Session 3 will focus on proper passing technique and the clearing game.
• Session 4 will tie the previous clinic sessions together with a review of previous sessions and instruction in effective goalie communication.

 Participants will receive training plans to develop their skills, as well a CD with a powerpoint file providing detailed instruction in all of the topics covered during the clinic.
