RB Hockey School is coming to New Jersey! Taking
place at the Gold Coast Arena in Farmingdale, NJ,
this camp is typically one of the player’s favorites! We teach
the game of hockey. 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. Each player
that attends this camp will be given the opportunity to develop
their game to his or her top potential. For the past decade we have
been producing fun, competitive and challenging hockey camps and
look forward to bringing the RB Hockey Experience to Gold Coast
Arena!
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.
On
top of that, each player will receive:
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 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.
Our staff is represented by all levels
of hockey from College, Junior A, High School coaches, current and
former Pros.
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 organized an
