Located in Traverse City, Michigan, this camp is 4 days with each day giving an athlete 90 minutes of ice time with 60 minutes of off-ice/video work. Valley Goaltending’s camp philosophy is to put the emphasis on the on-ice training. Each day a goaltender will have one intense 90 minute session. Each session will be broken up with the first 30 minutes focusing on skating and the last 60 dedicated to different themes such as sharp angle shots, puck handling, in-zone play etc. For the skating portion, large groups will be formed. For the last 60 minutes the goal is to keep a 3:1 goalie to coach ratio at each net. Larger groups will be formed in the last 60 minutes when repetition is more important than the instruction. In these cases, the ratio will most likely be larger than 3:1.

Valley Goaltending and Sean Burke do not believe in full day camps with multiple ice sessions. We attempt to create an intense focused half day camp and then families have the 2^nd half of the day to enjoy beautiful Traverse City, rest, and recover to get ready for the next day. With this model, we are able to attract the highest quality coaches, keep coach to goalie ratios appropriate, all while keeping the camp affordable.

Each day will have a drill that is recorded. At the end of camp, each player will receive this video.
