PLEASE NOTE: These camps don't have to all be with us, it's the amount of training your children should do in order to Progress to next level. Please be open with us when your child is training elsewhere and let us know if we are your child's main goalie coaches or not. The reason for this is, it can be confusing for kids to train at multiple places. If we are there main goalie coaches, in case of confusion they need to listen to what we say, if we aren't they need to listen to what their main coach says.
*Make sure these goals come from your kids as it won't always be easy. Be sure to sit down and explain to them that achieving their goals means doing things that we don't always want to do. As a parent it's important to watch out for burnout (yes it happens in kids), some are able to be on the ice all the time others really need breaks. If your child is looking unhappy and you're regularly forcing them to go to the rink, it's not a a good sign, once in awhile it happens. Be a parent and support your kids, we will coach them.
BONUS: Depending the age and goals of your child, upon your request, we will send a questionnaire for them to fill out (with your assistance) to help them realize, where they are and what they need to do to get to the next level both on and off the ice.*
