Coach Sweeney Individual Goalie Lessons
This hour long clinic is for goalies of all levels wishing to improve their skills and get dialed in before the upcoming spring season.
This 6 week program emphasizes the fundamentals such as stepping to the ball, footwork, positioning and turning in the goal while
incorporating new methods and techniques developed by the worlds top lacrosse goalies. We will work not only on the physical aspect
of the lacrosse goalie position but also the mental aspect of the position. With much of the success of a goalie being inside their head,
this aspect is often not focused on. We believe the strongest goaltenders can both save the ball and overcome adversity within the game.
As the clinic progresses, Coach Sweeney will develop a specific regiment for each of the goalies to improve their specific style of play
and mental toughness. With only 3 goalies per session the coach to player ratio is insurmountable. The attention to detail from
Coach Sweeney is unsurpassable by any goalie clinic in New Jersey.
During the Beginner Goalie Clinic we will be focusing on the fundamentals of becoming a lacrosse goalie with an emphasis
on developing the basic concepts each session. Coach Sweeney has developed a fun and balanced regiment that combines stepping
to the ball techniques, stance, movement in the goal, clearing, basic communication from the goalie to her defense, overall quickness and hand speed.
Thursdays 6-7pm or 7-8pm Jan. 5- Feb. 9

During the Advanced Goalie Clinic we will be focusing not only stopping the ball but every aspect that contributes to becoming
an overall strong goaltender. The program consists of stopping a variety of different, game situational shots including shots from
the outside and inside, shots coming around the back of the goal, crease rolls, and 8 meter shots, stance and positioning when the
ball is behind, how to turn when the ball is passed from behind the goal, intercepting passes coming from behind the goal and across
the crease, stick work, advanced communication, advanced clearing, and becoming comfortable with the ball outside of the goal.
