Back to Basics: Drill #3a Diamond Pattern Drill

Coaches and teams can get Upper Echelon's team goalie coaching package information under the PROGRAMS tab of the website!!

Here is the next drill in my Back to Basics set.  The drill's purpose is to get goalies to work on their goalie-specific skating and conditioning skills.  It has also been called a box-pattern drill, as the pylons are set up in a box shape.  But I prefer the term diamond pattern, as that mnemonic better represents the movement pattern that the goalie will follow.  On top of that, goalies that perform this drill often and with deligence will soon become as hard as diamonds.

The printable pdf for this drill can be found in the Back to the Basics folder under the download media tab.
