Our goal is to give each student the best possible training and advice  available. We start with our top notch instruction staff that is second to none and then group each student by age and skill level, allowing them to push each other within individual groups. Our staff uses innovative drills at each station to challenge every student to apply their skill sets and ice awareness at the highest levels. Our staff is comprised of Pro, College, Major Junior and Junior players that have all been taught personally by Bandits for many years.

THERE’S A BRILLIANT GOALIE
LOCKED INSIDE EVERY STUDENT

 

At Bandits we not only teach you the necessary mechanical skills, but also how to apply these skills to their full potential in game situations. Our superior year-round training emphasizes six key skills to make every goalie become a true student of the game. Once these skills are mastered, you will leave shooters shaking their heads.

 

KEY SKILL #1 Skating and agility Mastering the art of movement and recovery	KEY SKILL #4 Challenge the shooter Learn to take away the net from the shooter
KEY SKILL #2 Shoulders down/ Setting for the shot Learn proper position and weight distribution	KEY SKILL #5 Analyzing the rush Learn how to read and react to certain situations
KEY SKILL #3 Feet loaded and ready to move Learn proper foot movement and hand coordination	KEY SKILL #6 Active hands and rebound control Achieve control with active hands and proper stick control

The importance is that of consistency. From instructor to instructor, station to station, drills are never “just ran” they are designed with a purpose in mind to push every goaltender no matter age or skill level. Each day, goaltenders are learning new techniques and experiencing positive reinforcement on skills that have been taught throughout the course of the week.
