Summer Goalie Camp
Welcome to the highly acclaimed, BEST in the Midwest, popular by choice, 6x6 Summer Goalie Camp. We have 4 goals every year we strive to live by:
1) Every camper learns something that will help improve their game
2) Build leadership skills: Respect, Discipline, Character, and Resilience
3) Discuss the importance of Mental Health
4) Have Fun!!!
Our camp extends over 4 days that encompasses a well rounded curriculum to include: the Foundations of Reaction, Save Mechanics, Situational Concepts, Clearing, Leadership Skills, Mental Health, and creating positive mindset. Kids enter as goalies but leave as Leaders!! Since our inception we continue to retain campers returning to learn something new, meet new friends, and become stronger leaders. Based on numbers this camp continues to grow each year.
The Robert Martin Memorial Scholarship
Sponsored by Goalies Matter
Goalies Matter and 6x6 Goalie Academy will be awarding two scholarships in the name of Robert Martin at 6x6 Goalie Academy Summer Camp. These scholarships will be awarded to one boy and one girl each year. These scholarships are more than just a free ride to camp, this scholarship will have meaning behind them. Robert’s sense of humor, compassion, leadership and insights into what he was learning to be a successful player and coach will be remembered for years to come. The 6x6 Goalie Family, as well as the Goalies Matter Community, has created this legacy to honor one of our own in a lasting way, and to bless future generations of students at 6x6 Goalie Academy.

Camp Staff - "The FAMILY"
The pulse of our camp lies within the staff we have on hand to help these young inspiring netminders to be the best goalies & leaders they can be. These instructors were hand picked and have become FAMILY, because we care for and support every camper that comes to camp and treat them like our own brothers and sisters. These are not just coaches, they are TEACHERS and they have mission to leave no goalie behind. These men and ladies are what makes this camp a success and what brings kids back year after year.
