Coach Howard attends and instructs at every session and at every camp. This simply is not true of other schools where you may not know who is actually running the school and doing the instructing.  Other coaches try to copy my "sequential system".  Learn from the coach and staff that actually developed, updates, tests and uses on a yearly basis with all age levels throughout the year.  A GOALIE SCHOOL THAT HAS DEVELOPED AND TEACHES AN ACTUAL "SEQUENTIAL SYSTEM” OF PLAYING".  I HAVE DEVELOPED, TIME TESTED (OVER 20 YEARS)  AND NOW TEACH “PROVEN NEW CONCEPTS” THAT NO OTHER GOALIE SCHOOL WILL TEACH.  IT MAKES LEARNING AND PLAYING THE POSITION EASIER THEN ANY OTHER METHODS AVAILABLE TODAY! “LEARN TODAY’S METHODS OF PLAYING GOALIE” The 5 Part System to Playing Goalie The 5 goalie stances for different game situations (proper goalie positioning)  The 5 movements to use for different game situations (combined with the proper stance and positioning) The new theories on playing the angles by using the 4 different segments of the net and the 5 scoring zones. The proper saves techniques for all stick, pad, and gloves saves (within the stance and outside of the stance) Controlling the puck, the game, and yourself with the proper balance points, weight transfer and angle of deflection - no second shots. The New Concepts Developed Playing parallel to the goal line for certain shots Playing more in the middle of the net Using the diving scramble for the wrap around Using the push scaramble for moving across the net Staying down in the "V" and/or scramble position for second shots in close The new "5 hole" save, using the stick-glove and going into the scramble position The safety zone leave concept Applying the "inside outside" rule for making saves within the stance and outside of the stance. One player has the puck more than any other during the game - THE GOALIE. There is a system to playing goalie that is more than just stopping the puck. You can control the puck and the game by using Coach Howard's system of playing goalie.
