The Goalie Coach Toolkit is intended to be a season-long assistant coach we can use for the most basic elements of the position as well as some of the most challenging. It's a huge course, and knowing where to jump in can be intimidating. 

Check out the full course here!

It helps if you focus on one skill at a time, so today we're looking at depth. A few inches higher or lower in the crease can make all the difference. It's one thing to practice depth control in a controlled environment - with a goalie coach at the start of practice for example - it's another to bring that understanding to life when the game is on the line. 

This lesson will help you with the proper terminology.

That's why this practice plan is all about the goalie. Goalies love facing 2on1's and 3on1's at the start of practice, right? 

Make sure they're warmed up properly!
