MAP SOUTH GOALTENDING
Welcome to MAP South Goaltending powered by MAP South Hockey.
The MAP South Goaltending Program is designed to develop and refine technique in a competitive and challenging environment. MAP South Goaltending’s belief is that every goalie has their own style of play that can be successful. Our job is to increase the goaltender’s skill and provide insight into multiple techniques during situational play. Repetition of skills puts a goaltender in position to have success and be confident in the net.
Through video analysis and technical feedback, we work with the athlete to improve their consistency. Hard work and dedication to being a student of the game are paramount to our coaches and athletes. Drills are continually evolving to provide the most current techniques and a fun environment for learning. MAP South Goaltending has Goalie Trainers at all skates to provide consistent progression and feedback throughout our training season.
