What makes Bandits the #1 year round goalie school in Michigan?
(Chris Osgood, Bandits Director Stan Matwijiw and Jason Bacahihua)
At Bandits Goalie School we strive to give our students every possible advantage to learn and become the best goaltender they can be. Therefore, we offer FOUR unique aspects to our year round training.
1. Team & Private Lessons:
The first phase of our training begins with superior year round instruction to goalies and teams through private and team instruction. If you want the best, then train with the best.
**Game Performance Evaluation**
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.
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
2. Winter and Spring Clinics:
The second phase of our training involves top notch clinics that run during the winter holiday season and also during the spring months, beginning in April and ending in early June.
