3-on-1 Semi-Private

Goaltender Movement & Puckhandling

This class is for goalies who are proficient skaters, can shuffle, push, and slide but are looking to develop their skills further. We use a mix of power skating, advanced crease movements and puck handling for goalies. We spend 1/3 of the time working on stamina and strength while paying close attention to technique. 1/3 of the time is dedicated to moving around the crease. Slides, pushes, shuffles and combination movements goalies see in games. the last third is dedicated to puck handling, shooting and stopping and playing the puck behind the net. Ratio of goalies to instructors is between 4:1, to a max of 8:1. Cost is $50 plus tax and can be booked online.

REPs Class

This is an hour of shots! The focus of this program is to work on hand eye reaction, rebound control and basic saves. We focus on specific areas and our shooters fire over 300 pucks at our goalies! The focus is on REPS, so there is not much instruction. Coaches look to make sure positioning movements are sound, so bad habits are not engrained. Perfect practice! Cost is $60 plus tax and can be booked online.

Beginner Goaltending

This is for goalies brand new to the position! Goalies must be able to skate, stand on their own and be able to get up and down. No goaltending experience necessary! We also have beginner goalie gear if you are just looking to try it out! This program focusses heavily on movement/skating and has very few "shots". Ratio of goalies to Coaches is between 5:1 and 2:1. Cost is $40 plus tax and can be booked online

Beginner Goaltending Level 2

This program is for goalies who are new goaltending, but have some experience playing games (even part time) and are looking to develop their skating. We also introduce more shots via some basic drills that cover tracking, butterfly and recoveries. Goalie should be fairly proficient at skating already. Ratio of goalies to Coaches is between 5:1 and 2:1. Cost is $40 plus tax and can be booked online.

“Chris’ strength is that he is able to break down goaltending into the smallest details. Building good habits while simultaneously simplifying your game creates a seamless transformation between practice and game. Working at the hockey studio builds a goaltenders confidence in their technique allowing them to clear their mind when it comes game time. I’m so happy to be a part of the Billingsley Goaltending team”
