ABSTRACT:
A goalie training apparatus has a first plurality of semi-circular wedge-shaped barriers attached to an upper glide surface of a slide board along an arc and at least one other barrier attached to the upper glide surface separated from the first plurality of barriers leaving a portion of the glide surface unobstructed. The arcuate faces of the barriers present multi-angular push-off points important for goalie training, as goalies must move in various directions within the goal crease. The barriers are preferably attached to the glide surface with high strength hook and loop fasteners, possibly in combination with bolts, screws or rivets. Wearing a foot covering with a low coefficient of friction in relation to the glide surface, a goalie stands atop the unobstructed glide surface and pushes a foot against one barrier and glides or shuffles along the glide surface to another barrier/push point. The second barrier may be a plurality of barriers and represents the goal or goal posts. The first plurality of barriers represent target points in front of a goal that are important for goalies practicing "going out" and "cutting down" angles.
