Girls Boarding Camps

At our 2012 Girls Boarding Camps goalies will experience the time of there life. The goaltending position in ice hockey is the most unique and pressure-packed in sports. Success demands proper coaching and support from a team of dedicated coaches committed to player development. We even offer a girl’s-only goalie camp to ensure our female netminders get the tailored attention and instruction they need to excel.

While our goalie camps run in synch with RB Hockey's position-player camps, goalies will be separated into their own groups with dedicated goalie instructors who not only explain but also demonstrate key skills. Every one of our top-notch coaches has played at the collegiate or professional level and can offer our campers unique insight into the position, as well as the latest instructional techniques from around the world.

Throughout the week, each player will be involved with strength training, speed training, balance work, core training, agility training, plyometrics, stretching techniques and much more.

On top of that, each goalie will receive daily breakdowns of the drills which will concentrate on:

  • positional breakdown for forwards and defensemen
  • situational "chalk talk" on how to approach and react to game situation
  • technique enhancement
  • working with defensemen
  • handling power plays
  • handling penalty kills

About the Camps

We pride ourselves in producing a fun, competitive and challenging, and instructive hockey camp. We are so confident in our program and staff that we offer 100% money back guarantee if your child does not enjoy our camp. Our staff is represented by all levels of hockey from College, Junior A, High School coaches, current and former Pros.

We aim to help each goaltender reach his or her potential between the pipes. To do so, following the first session we divide campers by ability level, not age, so each player can learn at a pace that promotes performance gains.

Groups feature a small, 4:1 camper-to-coach ratio and are led by instructors fully involved in the practice. In fact, our guys wear their equipment so they can both demonstrate proper method as well as quickly correct campers mid-stride, a technique proven to expedite skill acquisition. Daily chalk talk and video reviews will help players refine their positioning, and technique to enhance their arsenal of skills.

Goaltenders will receive personal instruction from Director Ryan Hatch and his team of experienced coaches, all of whom have played pro or college hockey. At our camps, which offer a low coach-to-student ratio, every instructor is on-ice in full equipment. Our coaches don’t stand passively along the boards shouting instructions; rather they get into the net and show your player how things should be done. By fully participating in every skill session our coaches can quickly correct campers mid-stride, a technique proven to expedite skill acquisition.

At RB Goalie, we’re about building relationships as well as players. That’s why all participants in our camps become part of our extended family. If you ever have a question or concern feel free to contact RB Goalie owner Rob Barletta directly.

In addition to goalie-specific on-ice drills, campers will also participate in Daily chalk talks, video reviews, and in an off-ice conditioning program tailored to the demands of the position. Dynamic warm-ups, sprints, agility exercises, plyometrics and games will be included to develop strength and foster team building.

Six Flags New England

After the hard work put forth by the skaters, we believe they deserve to be rewarded with a little bit of fun time. This is why we have searched our area for the best attractions in New England to be added to the already best boarding camps. We will be going Mini Golfing and Go Karting located on Rt. 1 in Walpole, along with an optional* full day Six Flags New England trip, which is scheduled for Wednesdays. Later in the week is pizza night, which will be enjoyed with movies and video games and we can never forget the wildly popular pool party and cook out!

Please Note: If you do not wish to attend the Six Flags Trip, you have two options available:

Option 1: Skip the Six Flag trip and take the day off. Subtract $55 from the cost of your camp.
Option 2: Skip the Six Flag trip and participate in an additional day of on-ice drills. Add $100 to your camp.

Are you looking to improve your game while having fun? If so, RB “Girls Only” Boarding Camp is for you. This camp is for advanced goaltenders that will be challenged each day by drills designed to increase their knowledge in the position. Drills are designed for athletes who have already mastered the fundamentals as well as those that are still learning. Goalies are grouped according to their abilities and not just their ages. This way we are able to push all goalies to improve faster. We utilize advanced training techniques preaching the use of position, square ness to the shooter, and the closing off of holes. Off-ice training will be done daily. Students are expected to be in good shape coming into to camp. Accelerated conditioning geared toward building speed, strength and endurance, to push players to their full potential. We also work on game situational plays during controlled game situations. This gives players the ability to apply the weeks work in high speed situations.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Goalie-specific power skating
Skating, edge control, balance, and agility are paramount to in-net success. Gone are the days when goalies were simply walls with little need for skating excellence. Today, the best goalies combine exceptional skating ability, gymnastic flexibility, and cat-like agility. To teach critical skating skills fundamental to the position, we run our goalies though a variety of increasingly challenging power skating drills that help them learn to use their feet most effectively.

Angles
We’ll teach you both where and how to stand in the net. We’ll show you how squaring up to the shooter increases your presence and may intimidate oncoming shooters.

Butterfly
RB Hockey teaches a combination butterfly style that pairs the wide stance of the Finnish style with the low hand position of the Quebec style for maximum effectiveness. Through the use of these techniques, goalies will learn to better balance themselves both while standing and while in the butterfly. They’ll also be better positioned to make a second save when necessary.

Low plays
Most goals are scored in tight with quick passes to the slot, wraparounds and similar maneuvers. To help you cut down on these scoring chances in the danger zone, we’ll show you how to properly remain low and square with a deep knee bend.

TIMES & LOCATION: Check-In 2:00pm Sunday. Pick-Up Friday at 12:00pm. Camp at Iorio Arena in Walpole, MA.
