Stopper School

MPH is our newly designed, position-specific player development curriculum, created by Coach Ethan LaHoda at Legacy Lacrosse Center. Goalies play the most specialized position on the field, so Stopper School gives them a dedicated progression of their own, covering stance, footwork, tracking, and command of the defense. It’s a clear path from first saves to the top level of the game.

Directed by Joe Whitmore | Designed by Ethan LaHoda

MPH Stopper School is dedicated goalie training at Northern Colorado’s Home of Lacrosse Training. Goalies develop the stance, footwork, hand speed, tracking, and communication it takes to become the backbone of their defense.

Every session combines technical goalie work with high-volume live shots, so goalies build the reactions and confidence to make big saves when it matters and start the clear the moment they do.

What Players Will Learn

Every session includes

• Goalie-specific plyometrics, reaction, and lateral quickness work
• Decision-making training under varying levels of friction and constraints, including shot variety, screens, and live play, so goalies learn to read shooters and react in real time

Skills

• Footwork and positioning
• Eye-hand coordination and vision development
• Angles and arcs
• Save technique for every shot location

• Advanced goalie stick work
