I am a first year goalie for middle school, but i have had no training at all for goalie cause i used to be a defender, but we had no goalie so i offered to become one. I can only do so much a natural talent cause i manage to keep a 82% of shots blocked thought the regular season but we are D2 so now we are going into the playoffs and we are going to be playing D1 teams that are a lot beter then us and i cant seem to get the off hand shots so i was wondering if you guys had any tips for me. ty

do your best to get your body in front of them, seeings as your going into playoffs right now its a little late in the season too tweak anything, and besides if your stoping 82% your doing hella good i dont care what divison your playing in, but yeah on the off stick sides try to slide your body infront of them.

dont try to change your technique now (if you have one), if you are saving 82% of the shots taken the first year you play goalie you are obviously doing something right.

i don't know what the problem is if your to slow to the off stick side or your out of position. if your to slow then the only thing i can say is put some weights (the ones you would put on your ankles to run) on your wrist and practice like that for a little and then take them off. It def is too late to change techinque.
