We’re celebrating our 31st year of helping boys and girls achieve success between the pipes through our popular weekend clinics in Minnesota and Iowa.
“Goalies who train with us work hard, improve their skills and have fun,” said Edina, Minn. native Steve Carroll, a goalie development leader who coaches goalies at the youth, high school and college levels. “I’m extremely proud of the reputation we’ve earned for developing quality, fundamentally-sound goaltenders.”
We give goalies the proper training and attention they need to maximize development. They’ll improve their individual skills, self-confidence and elevate their game to new levels in a challenging, upbeat and fun learning environment.
Our instructors use their extensive playing and coaching experience to teach the goalies what it takes to be successful. They are experts who also share their wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for the goaltending position with the kids.
“CGS coaches love goaltending and do a great job teaching the skills that matter most in today’s game,” Carroll said. “They break things down, demonstrate properly, and help goalies leave feeling confident in their overall play.”
All of our clinics are conveniently scheduled on select evenings and weekends during June-September. Ice times are at six Minnesota arenas including Eagan Civic Arena (Eagan), Richfield Arena, Sports Arena East, (Sauk Rapids), STMA Arena (St. Michael-Albertville), Super Rink (Blaine), and the TRIA Rink (St. Paul), practice home of the Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Frost.
In July, we will also host two weekend clinics at the RecPlex in West Des Moines, Iowa.
We offer four programs for goalies ages 6-14 – Intro to Goaltending, Intermediate Skills, Advanced Skills, and Tryout Tune-up.
Goalie parents like the variety of programs we offer because they realize that having their kids train with Coach Steve Carroll and his expert staff can have a significant impact on their development.
“We have been to quite a few of Steve’s camps and will be coming back for quite a few more,” said goalie parent, Kevin Rowe from Blaine, Minn. “Always a great camp and many locations to pick from when schedules get busy. Our son enjoys the camp and the coaches are engaging and have fun with the goalies while making them work at improving their skills. I highly recommend this goalie camp.”
Goalie parent Jenn Bernacki from Solon, Iowa, said “This was our first experience with a goalie-specific camp and it was a great one! The structure was great and coaches were very efficient with the time. Our daughter felt this camp really helped in her development as a young goalie. She loved every minute!”
Goalie parent Jared Bulinski from Sauk Rapids, Minn. said, “My son had a great experience with CGS. He enjoyed the challenges and learning that took place at the clinic. On the last day, he asked if we could sign up again next year. That is all the proof I need. We can’t wait to work with CGS again. Thank you very much.”
