April clinic opportunities are here πŸ₯πŸ”₯

We’re excited to announce our April training clinics along with our second Shooters vs. Stoppers clinic in May 🚨πŸ₯…

These sessions are a great chance to get high quality reps, improve your game, and compete in a fun environment. Our April clinics are built around strong coaching, game-like drills, and reps that help goalies build confidence and sharpen their skills. πŸ’ͺ

And after a great first event, Shooters vs. Stoppers is back πŸ”₯ Goalies and shooters will compete, get live reps, and push each other in a high-energy setting.

Check out the post for all the details, and tag a goalie or shooter who should be there πŸ‘‡

In practice, getting hit with the ball sucks πŸ˜…πŸ₯

Over time you definitely get more used to it, but that does not mean it feels any better.

Sometimes being a goalie means working through the pain, staying locked in, and finishing the session anyway. That was basically me yesterday πŸ˜‚πŸ’₯

Not every rep feels clean. Not every day is smooth. But showing up and battling through it is part of the position too πŸ’ͺ

Another great one from πŸ₯πŸ”₯

This drill is called static shooting and it tests one of the hardest things for goalies to do… patience. β³πŸ‘€

Set your shooter up about 10 yards from the cage with their feet square to the goal.

From there, they work through fakes, deception, and hesitations trying to get the goalie to move early. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ₯

Your job?

Stay patient. Stay still. Wait for the ball to release. βœ…

A lot of saves are lost before the shot even happens. If you can stay under control and react off the real release, you give yourself a much better chance to make the stop. 🧱πŸ’ͺ

Simple drill. Great reps. Big carryover. πŸ”₯

Tag a goalie who needs this one πŸ‘‡

Pipe to Pipe to Pipe, then Shot πŸ₯πŸ”₯πŸ₯…

This one is all about creating a little chaos before the save. 😀

Start on one pipe.
Move to the opposite pipe.
Get back to the original pipe.
Then square up to the shooter.

As soon as you get set… the ball is coming. ⚑πŸ₯

This is a great drill for working on:
βœ… footwork
βœ… urgency in the cage
βœ… getting your feet set fast
βœ… squaring up under pressure
βœ… making a save when things feel a little hectic

The biggest focus here is simple:
Get set, get ready, and make the save. 🧱πŸ₯

Game shots are not always clean and easy. Sometimes there is a little chaos before the release. This drill helps you get comfortable in those moments. πŸ‘Š

One of the hardest saves in lacrosse? Screened shots. πŸ₯πŸ‘€πŸš¨πŸ”₯

And with elite shooters being taught to release around screens, goalies need to train it. 😀🎯

Set up a dummy or screen about 12 yards from the cage. Track the feed, locate the ball, and have the shooter release just off the dummy to create a real screened shot.

Simple drill. Game-like reps. One of my favorites. πŸ’₯πŸ™ŒπŸ”₯

Shooters vs Stoppers. πŸ₯πŸ§€πŸ”₯

shooters vs goalies

This clinic is all about live reps and competition.

Shooters get a ton of shots.
Goalies get real game situations.

Fast pace. Competitive reps. Lots of saves. Lots of goals.
