Phase #1
The first phase of our training begins with superior year round instruction to goalies and teams through private and team instruction. If you want to be the best, then train with the best!
Team Instruction
Bandit's staff is second to none in the area of qualified instruction. All staff members have received years of instruction from the Director of Bandits Goalie School, Stan Matwijiw. Why is this important? Every Bandit's instructor is not only an accomplished goaltender but has been taught under Bandits Goalie School core system of teaching; therefore making every instructor a branch off the same tree. In other words, it doesn't matter what Bandits instructor attends a team's practice, the knowledge and teaching philosophies STAY THE SAME. Bandits has different packages for every teams needs whether it's once a week, two times a month or even once a month basis. In team practices, a Bandits instructor will focus on a variety of areas throughout the year in order to make each student consistent and focused and building for the next level.

Private Lessons
Throughout the course of the hockey season mechanical skills may stumble. Bandits Goalie School offers private lessons throughout the season for any goaltender that might need a tune up on their skill sets. Our private lessons are one on one and last 60 minutes. In this hour, a Bandits instructor will hone in on specifics that a goaltender might be struggling with or the instructor can broaden the spectrum and run the goalie through an array of different drills. At the end of each private lesson, the instructor will recap the lesson with the goaltender and their parents to make sure everyone understands what needs to be worked on in order to progress in the right direction. Please contact us for pricing and availability. For more details, call our head office in Novi, Michigan at 248-669-9705. If located on the western part of the state (Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Muskegon etc.) please contact Head Instructor Joe Messina at 616-893-6173.
Private Lessons:
1 hr * $ 150.00 (includes ice time and instruction)
Game Performance Analysis
With a Game Performance Analysis, a Bandits instructor will attend a goaltenders game and chart their performance. After the game, the instructor will sit down with the goaltender and discuss their performance. The goaltender will also receive a Self Evaluation form that they can fill out on their way home from the rink. Players evaluate their own performance by rating their overall play, as well as a goal by goal breakdown. The advantage of utilizing a Game Performance Analysis is the insightful direction a Bandits instructor receives from the analysis. The instructor uses the final analysis results and applies that information to the next couple of practices with the goalie/goalies.
A Bandits instructor will come to a specific game to analyze three periods of play. This will give the instructor, coaching staff and goalie a better understanding of what he or she is doing correctly in a game situation and also what the instructor and goalie need to be focusing more attention on during practice.
The Game Performance Evaluation will consist of:
- 3 periods of pad analysis (pro's and con's of game performance)
- recap evaluation with goalie after game - go over pad analysis
- goalie will receive a separate self evaluation form to take home review self evaluation form at next practice with instructor
- review notes and recap goalies performance with coaching staff
Game Performance Evaluations - $120.00
Coaches Clinics
Bandits Goalie School is proud to announce the availability of coaches clinics. This program was specifically designed for all hockey organizations or any individual that is interested in learning more about coaching the most important position on the team, goaltending.
