Introduction
Hello everyone, I am not a goalie myself, but signing up on behalf of my 10 year old Gabe and 8 year old Finn. Both are very new to goaltending, and Gabe in particular is a bit behind compared to others in his goalie group in North Dakota. Just looking for advice on how to help them get up to speed and have fun!

I would really push goalie skating with them at first. A lot Tee pushes, side shuffle, micro shuffle, butterfly fly slides and butterfly pushes. Work on hand eye coordination at home with racquetball. Push good fundamentals good stance, good hand positioning, driving knee in butterfly and tracking puck in and out gear. Then start working on angles, squareness and depp. If they don't learn how skate well first then pretty hard to play on top off there crease. Skating got to come first before can really push them out. I got some basic goalie skating drills I can send you.
Goalie shortage
I'm goalie coach. For few years now, work with a wide spread of ages. Played triple A growing up far as I went. In my town seems like only AA goalies and up get any real goalie coaching. The rest get maybe random dad shooting at them. A lot teams have hard time finding goalies that can play higher levels. Is this my town problem or everywhere? A lot of are competitive teams are lucky to have two goalies. A lot only got 1.
