Half Court Defense: Goalie Positioning and Protecting the Cage
Wednesday, April 29, 2026
9:30 PM (60 mins)
Session Overview
This session connects goalie positioning with the work of the five field defenders in front of the cage. It breaks down how goalies read the ball, understand shot lanes, and protect the cage by working with the shot blockers instead of playing as an isolated last line. Goalies will get a clearer sense of angles, cross-cage responsibility, near-side discipline, and communication with defenders. Field players will also benefit because the session shows how better blocks and cleaner defensive structure make the goalie’s job dramatically easier.
