This season Stop It Goaltending is offering private lessons at three locations. The PHD center located in Woburn, MA, The PHD Center at Skate 3 Rink in Tyngsboro, MA and the Dracut Ice Huts. Stop Goaltending has been offering private lessons since 1999. The lessons are an excellent way to maximize your potential. We welcome new and returning participants and are excited to work with motivated goalies of all levels.

Goaltender Development: In private goalie lessons goalies will receive instruction on the most progressive save techniques with a focus on building solid fundamentals through muscle memory and positive reinforcement. Each week’s lesson has a distinct lesson plan which progresses from week to week. Through the eight sessions goalies will work on all aspects of the position and have a thorough understanding of their system of play. 


Time and Groups: Lessons are conducted once per week for eight weeks. The day and time of the lessons remain constant throughout the eight-week session. There are no more than four goalies per session. Goalie sessions include one instructor and two shooters for four goalies. There are specialty lessons that may consist of 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 goalie director to goalie ratios. Once the eight-week program has begun there will be the opportunity to register on a week by week basis depending on availability. Week by week slots will not be listed until the eight week program has begun.

Registration and Cost: Please use our online application to register. By reviewing our 2008 Private Lessons Schedule you will be able to schedule your own dates, times and location. The cost of the eight-week session for goalies is $480 ($60 per lesson). A $100 deposit is required with the application, and the balance due on the first day of the program. Single sessions are available at $75 per lesson and will be posted the week that the lesson will be conducted. There are some specialty lessons that have different pricings and these are listed below.
