Description:
Variable Goals Training (VGT) for Hockey Skill Development
For the last 7 or 8 years, we have been perfecting a new and innovative way to challenge young hockey players. Our aim is 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).
Focus on Individual Skill Development
Unlike traditional team training practices, Variable Goals Training (VGT) focuses primarily on the development of individual skills. We implement this method at the start of the hockey season or during the summer to build a strong foundation for players' skills in preparation for the upcoming season.
Adapting Training During the Hockey Season
As the hockey season progresses, especially for older players, practice time typically shifts more toward team tactics and game preparation. However, we continue to incorporate these drills at regular intervals throughout the season to maintain and fine-tune the player's individual skills.
Ideal for Younger Players
For younger players, these drills are perfect for use throughout the season. Since most of their practice time will be devoted to individual skill development, Variable Goals Training (VGT) helps ensure continuous growth in their hockey abilities.
