Dear GYL parents and players,
GYL is committed to developing players at all levels and at all positions. We partner with Chris Madalon to run a 9-week clinic focused solely on goalie instruction for our serious and committed goalies in grades 5-8. Goalies are required to attend this practice in addition to their weekday team practice, depending on when their team is scheduled to practice.
Clinic Time and Location
- Goalie only practices will begin Monday March 23, 2026; the final practice is Monday May 18
- Girls: Mondays 5:30 to 6:30 @ GHS #6
- Boys: Mondays 6:30 to 7:30 @ GHS #6
- Note: if you have conflicts, you can go to either session but check in with your head coach first
Additional Details
Goalie-only practices will be held weekly focusing on fundamentals of goalie play, including:
- Shot stopping mechanics
- Clearing & stick handling
- Positioning (i.e. goalie arc, angles)
- Communication
- Rebound control
- Groundball work
- Lacrosse IQ
