Manahawkin Goalie Clinic
Welcome to our Elite Lacrosse Goalie Clinic at Doc Cramer Sports Complex in Manahawkin! Designed for aspiring and experienced goalkeepers, this clinic offers a unique opportunity to hone your skills, understand the goalie mindset, and elevate your game to the next level. Our program caters to both boys and girls in Middle School and High School, ensuring tailored coaching and training sessions to meet the specific needs of each group. Our clinic runs over three action-packed days, offering comprehensive training sessions that cover everything from fundamental skills to advanced techniques.
What to expect
Enhancing Individual Skills and Drills: Goalies will engage in specialized drills designed to sharpen their individual skills, focusing on aspects such as reaction time, positioning, and handling. These sessions aim to build a solid foundation, improving their overall performance in the cage.
Participating in Small-Sided Games: Through small-sided games, goalies experience game-like scenarios that emphasize decision-making and footwork. This setting not only enhances their ability to anticipate and react to shots but also improves communication with defenders, crucial for in-game success.
Engaging in Competition: The clinic includes competitive elements that put goalies' skills to the test in a pressure-filled environment. This fosters a spirit of resilience and adaptability, encouraging goalies to apply what they've learned and strive for excellence under challenging conditions.
High-Level Coaching
