As your goalies go to tryouts, want to set the benchmark for what a tryout for goalies should look like:

A good club will do a full warmup to start. Then they'll do shots to see footwork and fundamentals. After that move to drills with the field players, then to scrimmages or full games. If they just throw the ball at your kid a few times and then put them in goal you can bet they A) aren't evaluating goalies at all OR B) don't have a goalie program.

Over the years have just seen kids being thrown in the cage.

let me know what you’ve seen across Long Island or elsewhere.
