Comments by Coach Popa:
The purpose of these programs are to develop competence and increase utilization of the skills specific to goaltending. These are not conditioning camps! You are not going to be bombarded with thousands of shots and spend hour upon hour upon hour on the ice with a staff of student teachers. This is a very intense, highly instructional program which I conduct personally and I designed to take you to the next level of play. It is my goal that you walk away with working knowledge of what you need to do to move up to the next level, as well as how to work on these areas both on and off the ice and more importantly - on your own - because unfortunately, this is the situation in which most goaltenders find themselves.

Step 1 - Read this carefully!!! - THERE WILL BE NO TUITION REFUNDS:

By registering, in full or in part, you are making a non-refundable reservation.
Since such a small group of goaltenders make up each Program, if an injury or illness or some other event occurs which would make it impossible for you to attend as planned, or if your goalie quits hockey, your tuition WILL NOT be refunded. Because our groups are so small we must adhere to this policy very stringently.

However, to protect yourself we recommend purchasing Rescheduling Protection ($155).

By purchasing this protection, you can get a credit toward a future Program of your choice or you can transfer your tuition to another goalie of your choosing if we receive your rescheduling notice based on the following notification schedule:

notification 1 week or more prior to the start of the Program - 100% credit toward a future Program of your choice.
notification less than 1 week prior to the start of the Program - 50% credit toward a future Program of your choice.
NO SHOWS - not showing up without any kind of prior notification will not receive any refund for any reason - with
or without rescheduling protection.

Rescheduling Protection can only be purchased at time of initial registration. You will have the option to choose this Protection after clicking below to acknowledge that you have read and agree to the above rescheduling policy.



Camp Cancellations: should any Program be cancelled from our end for any reason, and you cannot reschedule to attend another location, our standing policy is to offer double the amount in credit toward any future program or instructional tool.
