Description:

Variable Goals Training (VGT) – Individual Skill Development

For the last 7 or 8 years now we have been perfecting a new and innovative way to challenge young hockey players to stimulate their read and react skills and puck handling creativity under authentic game-like conditions. We call this training method Variable Goals Training - VGT. This type of training is used to focus on the development of individual skills and so it is very different from our team training practices.

In the summer or at the start of the hockey season, we like to focus on this type of individual skill development to build a strong foundation for the coming season. As the hockey season progresses, especially for older players, the practice time shifts more to team tactics and game preparation, but during the season we continue to use these drills at regular intervals to maintain and fine-tune the player's individual skills.

For younger players, these drills are ideal for use throughout the season because most of the practice time will be devoted to individual skill development.
