goalie training

The club is offering goalie training for four of our boys. The training would be Saturday mornings and run for four weeks. One session will start in September, the other in October. More details can be found below.

Please let me know ASAP whether you son is interested. The trainers will nominate the four boys from our group. I need your information by Thursday so I can talk to the trainers and submit the nominations to the club by next Monday.

U11, U10 and U9 Academy Directors –

For those of you who don’t know me, I am the Director of the U10 Boys program, and the manager of a U12 Girls team. I am also the father of a full-time goalie in the U12 girls program, and in that role have been tasked with taking the lead on working with Dave Deutsch and Toure Weaver in putting together the goalie training program for the Club.

I am excited to announce that MUSC is going to offer “introductory” goalie training for our age groups this season. I am happy to announce that this training will be run by Chad Yablonski. Chad is a former MHS player and current MHS GK coach. For those of you who met Tyler Stakiwicz last Spring, he continues to work with our goalies, but because of his MSU obligations, he is only training the U12-U14 goalies this Fall.

For this group, we will run two courses, from 9-10 and 10-11 on Saturday mornings at Pittser, each with about six kids for a term of four weeks, starting September 22nd. We would then run another four week term with different kids beginning in October.

This course will differ from the one we did last Spring in that it is not just a general introductory course. Instead, it is meant for kids who at least have a mild interest in playing the position.

We have about twelve “slots” for the first four weeks.  What the Chad, Dave and I have agreed-upon is that each Director will “nominate” two kids out of his academy for each session, after talking about it with the managers. The idea is to try to make sure we target the training at kids who really have an interest & ability to play the position, rather than using the training time on kids who only rarely play the position. In essence, the program is really closer to the “Intermediate” program we did last Spring, but is still open to kids who have had no prior formal goalie training. The real “prerequisite” is having a real inclination to play the position.

Of course, if you have questions, please feel free to email me.

If you could get me your “nominations” by next Monday (9/17), I would appreciate it.
