Variable Goals Training (VGT): A New Approach to Hockey Skill Development
For the last 7 or 8 years, 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).
Focusing on Individual Skills
This type of training focuses on the development of individual skills, which makes it very different from our traditional team training practices. In the summer or at the start of the hockey season, we emphasize this individual skill development to build a strong foundation for the upcoming season.
Adapting Training Through the Season
As the hockey season progresses, especially for older players, the practice time shifts more towards team tactics and game preparation. However, we continue to incorporate these drills at regular intervals to maintain and fine-tune the players' individual skills.
Ideal for Younger Players
For younger players, these drills are ideal for use throughout the season, as most of their practice time is dedicated to individual skill development.
