The Goalie is positioned outside of the Goalie Band™ at the top of the crease for shooting drills. The Goalie Band™ should be positioned on the goalpost so that the height is equal to the middle of the goalie's back. If the goalie tries to back up to far into the crease, the Goalie Band™ is there as a gentle reminder to remain further out and challenge the shooter.

Goalie is positioned inside the Goalie Band™ to work on screen shots and reaction time. With the Goalie Band™ at the goalie's eye level, simulating player screening the goalie, he is forced to react on reflex to shots coming into view at the last second, without the benefit of anticipation and recognition of the shooter's body positioning.

Goalie alternates positioning as indicated in Drill #1 and Drill #2 one shot at a time (i.e. goalie accepts a shot from inside the Band™ then re-positions himself outside the Goalie Band™ for the next shot, then skates backward and under the Goalie Band™ to take the next shot and so forth). This drill works on strengthening and conditioning of leg muscles, improves balance, coordination and general movement around the goal, simulating the elements of a game situation.

The goalie is positioned outside the Goalie Band™ with the Goalie Band™ at the height of the middle of the goalie's back as in Drill #1. The goalie then shuffles around the Goalie Band™ from post to post, working on balance, coordination, and general movement. The specially designed clamps allow the goalie to feel the post as in game action.

With the Goalie Band™ dropped to ice level and multiple pucks placed around its outside edge, players practice pulling the pucks back and flipping them over the top of the Goalie Band™ into the net, simulating scoring over a goalie's outstretched pad.

With the bottom of the Goalie Band™ positioned approximately one foot above ice level, players practice shooting the puck at or below the Goalie Band™ from just inside the blue line. This drill holds defencemen accountable for keeping their shots from the point down and helps to promote rebounds and deflections.

Coach positions the Goalie Band™ at height desired for target practice. This works great for those times when there is no goalie at practice and you need a target other than an empty net.

Position the Goalie Band™ at the desired height from halfway up the post to the top of the post, depending upon the age and skill of the players. Have them practice flipping the puck up and over the Goalie Band™, like a basketball into the hoop. A great fun game to end a practice.
