Most of your goalies' ice time has no goalie coaching at all.
Two coaches. Full access. No payment required.
Decision Proof
What your board is actually approving.
I went through Goalie Guide and thought it was great. It happens so often that coaches are forwards and defensemen and have no idea how to coach goalies, especially at the younger levels. Even when a specialized goalie coach comes in once a week, regular coaches still need to know what to look for, what tips to give, and what drills to run. This seems like a training module that should be required with coaching certificates.
What You Get
A complete 10-module goalie coaching foundation built for volunteer coaches, not goalie specialists.
What Rollout Takes
One payment and one roster file. Goalie Guide handles account setup, invite emails, and coach onboarding.
What You Can See
A live admin view of coach progress, module completion, and who still needs follow-up.
What You Can Test First
A free 14-day preview for two coaches, with the full curriculum and the real invite flow before purchase.
The Gap
Every team has a goalie.
Almost no coach knows what to do with one.
"In youth hockey, goalies spend 80% of their time with coaches who have never played the position. The habits they build — good and bad — come from whoever is running practice."
of goalie development time is spent with a non-specialist — the volunteer coach running practice.
most technical position on the ice — and the one that most commonly gets the least targeted coaching.
of ice time spent with a dedicated goalie coach, even in well-resourced associations.
The Curriculum
10 modules. A complete coaching foundation.
Coaches move through the curriculum on their own time — from any device. Each module is focused, practical, and written specifically for the volunteer coach who has never played the position.
MODULE 01
Why This Course Exists
The 80/20 reality of goalie development — and what it means for the volunteer running practice.
MODULE 02
The Three Most Important Things
Watch the puck. Use the stick. Take away space. The principles that underpin every save.
MODULE 03
A Good First Impression
How to introduce young players to goaltending — the right first experience sets everything that follows.
MODULE 04
Common Equipment Mistakes
Pads on the wrong legs, straps too tight, toe-ties set wrong — the errors that create bad habits before a shot is ever faced.
MODULE 05
Stance, Movement & Technique
The ready stance, the shuffle, the T-push, and the butterfly — what to look for and how to coach it.
MODULE 06
Running Practice With Your Goalie
Drills any coach can run, the 5/5/5 shooting progression, and simple rules that build better habits in every session.
MODULE 07
Your Goalie on Game Day
Breakaways, bad goals, when the play is away. What to do — and what not to do — when it counts.
MODULE 08
What to Say — and What Not To
The words that build confident goalies. The ones that don't. Before, during, and after play.
MODULE 09
Footwork Reference
Coaching cues and common mistakes for the shuffle, T-push, and butterfly — a module coaches can pull up during practice.
MODULE 10
Additional Practice Drills
The angle drill, rebound direction drill, and post integration drill for coaches working with more experienced goalies.
Ready stance — Module 5
Butterfly position — Module 5
What Changes
The outcomes you can expect.
For your goalies
- Better habits from day one — correct stance, stick position, and puck tracking introduced the right way
- Equipment set up correctly before bad patterns have a chance to form
- More confidence in net — goalies who are coached well stay in the position longer
- Faster development — when coaches know what to look for, every practice rep counts
For your coaches
- A clear framework — not guesswork. Coaches know what to prioritize and what to say
- Ready-to-run drills they can drop into any practice without extra setup
- Language that builds confidence — what to say after a bad goal, during a breakaway, between periods
- Confidence to coach a position they've never played — without needing to become a goalie expert
