At our 2010 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 goalie will be involved with strength training, speed training, balance work, core training, agility training, plyometrics, stretching techniques and much more as well as opportunities to visit the National Fitness gym (located below the dormitories).

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

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, 3:1 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 Patrick 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.

Located in front of the arena on Route 1 in Walpole, the facility boasts a common area with plush leather couches, a giant LCD flat screen with satellite TV used for off-ice instruction. It also has a Ping-Pong table, Air Hockey table, Xbox, multiple Wii's, Guitar Hero

Other amenities include a kitchen complete with a stove, full-size refrigerator, toaster, blender and microwave oven. Spread out across the entire third floor of the facility are spacious dorm rooms, each equipped with central air conditioning as well as a private bathroom. A laundry room is also available.

As a facility built to host and train world-class athletes, the building is highly secure. Not only is a key or key code required for entry, but a key card is needed to operate the elevator that accesses the third floor sleeping rooms. To further ensure the safety of our players, 24-hour closed-circuit surveillance cameras monitor every entrance and exit of the facility.

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,
