Bill Pilats Goalie Winter Camp Dec.16-19th, 2006

[Hoochlacrosse]

Bill Pilat's Goalie Camp in Cocoa, Florida: December 16th-December 19th 2006

-It was really fun I got alot out of it. Really good for new goalies

-Everything was awsome except for me and my roommates getting money stolen because the guys in the next room forgot to lock their door.

-Food was good

-My 10 on 10 team went undefeated - Go Meats!

-4 on 4 we only lost like 2-3 times out of the whole thing

-Room mates were awsome..
I got Anthony (Purple Head, Pink Mesh)-Mountain Lakes
Daniel K (from OR, Black old school helm)
Nick (The big guy with ADK on his helmet)
Sean (I think #57 played attack on 10 vs 10 games- I could tell he was one of the best goalies at the camp)

We had 5 in our room because we are so cool everyone wants to room with us.

[Hoochlacrosse]

I know there has to be at least one goalie on TLF that's going to this

[cavgoalie7]

I went in the summer, and I know there will be less people there in the winter than the summer, so you will get more reps which is good. It's pretty fun just being around only goalies, and you should learn a lot of new techniques especially since you've only been playing for a few monthes. I wish i could have faced the pitching machine, but thats only at the Florida site :sad:

[bpercival]

Yeah, we will only be there what 2 days? so I don't have to bring that much clothes... It will be interesting getting my goalie stick on the airplane tho... :imparied:

December 16th (Check in 3-5pm) - December 19th (Check out 12p.m.) I guess it's 4 days if you count the check in days.. Will we be doing stuff on those days?

[stinisonfire]

I went there a few years ago. You get a lot of quality work-outs with a low coach/goalie ratio. When I was down there, it got to the mid-50's one night. I'd suggest bringing some cold gear UA or a couple long sleeves.

Have fun with the pitching machine.

EDIT* You basically spend your days rotating through different drills and chasing balls. The practice facility is pretty sweet, the dorms are nice and the food is pretty good.

[laxgoalie987]

im goin although it is me hannukah present o and im from orlando

[bpercival]

I believe we play on the check in days so it is some lax!

20 DAYS GUYS!

[viking goalie]

im sorry, i know this doesn't help but, mid 50's is not cold unless its raining, and if its raining, its really fun to play. I wish i could go to this camp, but i just got back from a camp and im done for a little while cash wise

O not last year, food was subpar and the dorms were ok. Facility is great though. This is a great camp to the guys that are going, it's a blast if you get cool roommates.

[ReLaxin 13]

Four. I had a blast last year, just don't move your roommates cot outside the room while he's sleeping. Counselors were not happy.

Haha i can see why they would not be happy haha.

[Hoochlacrosse]

Yeah, well I'm 16 years old and I don't know anyone else personally going to this camp. So I will more than likely be chosen a roomate... Anyone else going solo?

[Hoochlacrosse]

i am going solo

[meestagoaliemon]

haha im so exited 3 more daysss!

[Hoochlacrosse]

How is everyone else getting all their stuff there? If you are flying?

-Im bringing helmet pads and clothes all in a carry on bag
-and then boxing ,my stick

[EHSLAX12]

you should just bag your stick and check it on board the plane, so it sits with the luggage. i know thats a stretch since our sticks are "fragile" but youd pribably be better off doing that...or, ship your sticks there overnight or somethin in the mail...youd probably have to send tomorrow morning and pray they are there before you start.

[TheLaxLife]

OK, for you guys who attended, three questions:

What was the best thing that you learned?
Who was the best goalie there, and I mean among the campers?
Who was the best goalie that you saw from Florida?

[hcDevils391]

it is hard to say who the best goalie was cause you never really saw every goalie play, and for learning it depends if you were weak in one area, but they covered almost everything pretty in dep except i cant remember any talk about clearing

[EHSLAX12]

bpercival was telling me about the camp...im definetely going to go next year...

[cavgoalie7]

I had only one complaint when I went is that they didn't work on clearing, and thats what i needed to work on

[bpercival]

it is hard to say who the best goalie was cause you never really saw every goalie play, and for learning it depends if you were weak in one area, but they covered almost everything pretty in dep except i cant remember any talk about clearing

Yeah they did, they made us do those line drills for clearing and the goalie games were supposed to be for stick skills and throwing skills, and i heard them talk about to be a strong goalie you need to clear and stuff.

[cavgoalie7]

Yeah they did, they made us do those line drills for clearing and the goalie games were supposed to be for stick skills and throwing skills, and i heard them talk about to be a strong goalie you need to clear and stuff.

the line drills didnt really help with clearing, heck half the kids there could even put a pass right on the money. Plus, in the goalie games, I just played A/M, so no real clearing oppourtunities there

[bpercival]

It doent matter what position you played, you kept the ball passing around on a/m that got your throwing skills up. You dont need to be in the net to work on clearing, you need your throwing skills down is what he tried to show us.

[EHSLAX12]

its jus that being in the net while clearing and practicing that with a defense and offense, it helps with your awareness. you have to concentrate on the 4 second count, the options you have, the guy coming behind you, where the defense is setting up, where/who their players are marking, etc. wen you practice it in a more game like situation, it is a lot better practice.

[Lionslaxer1]

sup guys its one of the leo coached. coach anthony. im surprised no one complained baout the heat

[stinisonfire]

wait... Choda you coached?

[Lionslaxer1]

yeah baby i was there. crankin shots and meeting some stud goalies. o and there was one kid i remember that 13 year old form colorodo thats in the 8th grade and yeah but all the goalies were great. cant wait till next year

[AttackMan17]

I'm definitely going to go next year.

[Hoochlacrosse]

haha Hoochlacrosse was scared to admit who he was lol everyone in the camp was like hey your hooch right and hes like no thats the other.

lol Idk how u believed me cuz when I told you I was wearing a Jacket that said HOOCH LACROSSE on it and I came with all my gear that was listed,
most of the people I talked to were like "well your wearing shorts and a shirt that has Hooch Lacrosse on it so I know your lying" :DOH: :DOH: and I was like yea I am :bye:

[Hoochlacrosse]

I watched my DVD and saw alot of stuff I did wrong... I also saw Anthony (Mountain Lakes, with the Purple/Pink Stick) doing tricks behind the goal...

Anyone want to somehow post their video on here?

[bpercival]

im trying to post mine. I saw a big diffrence

[hcDevils391]

hooch i saw you in the airport with the jacket but i didnt want to say anything cause i though you would have been like no i have no idea what you are talking about or something like that

[cshlax05]

yes barrot i officially use them now
haha

[meestagoaliemon]

Did you guys learn aything rare or exciting that no one else would of even dreamed of thinking of ? If you did, please share. I would like some new drills to work on. Thanks.

[Hoochlacrosse]

hooch i saw you in the airport with the jacket but i didnt want to say anything cause i though you would have been like no i have no idea what you are talking about or something like that

I know what ur talking about.. That's part of the reason I didn't tell people cuz I wanted them to have a good impression of me and didn't want them flaming me for stuff I say on these forums.. I was there to make friends not enemy's.


BTW everyone on the way back to the airport on the last day we took a charter Bus that had casino stuff all over it. Some kid found a huge cup packed with quarters....I hate him..he is so dam lucky

[Hoochlacrosse]

-If you go to the far right Poweraid machine by the pool and insert $1 and press the orange flavor like 10 times it will give you 2-3 poweraids

-If you play 4 on 4's make sure not to tire yourself out running to a ball thats going 100 feet out into the forest unless you are loosing.

-The Rapid Fire thing shoots fast and it curves down, ask for 100mph once you are warmed up.

[Expressgoalie01]

[Hoochlacrosse]

Thanks...but I'm talking drills and self training tips here.

We learned everyt thing from "The Ball Stops Here" DVD pretty much, and got to see live college players rip it up on the college goalies. Idk who's going to get the top goalie spot at Roanoke College this year they were all really good.
