Key Skills for Goalies
To be a top-tier goalie, you need more than just quick reflexes. Training will focus on enhancing these key skills:

• Swimming speed: Goalies must be able to swim effectively, especially for short distances, in order to outpace field players and make game-changing steals. Don’t assume that being a goalie means you don’t need to swim – swimming is essential to your success in this position.

• Core strength & leg power: The goalie’s job is physically demanding, requiring explosive jumps and strong movements in the water. You’ll use only your legs and core to power out of the water while keeping your eyes locked on the ball at all times. It’s not just about blocking shots, but also about positioning, awareness, and anticipating the next move.

We encourage all goalies to take advantage of this unique opportunity. Please RSVP to confirm your spot, as space may be limited.
