GDI's New ELITE and PROSPECT Programs

GDI's New ELITE and PROSPECT Programs

GDI is excited to announce a realignment and reformatting of our camp curriculum.

The first three teaching progressions will be made available at our regional level. These programs have been reconfigured and redesigned by GDI Director Ian Clark and will be delivered by our network of Regional Managers.

The fourth and fifth progressions will be only available at our National Development Camps which are both designed and directed by GDI Founder and renowned Goaltending Coach Ian Clark.

In addition to the introduction of GDI's new ELITE program (which provides a lower price point at our residential programs) and a total redesign of our PROSPECT program, GDI has created a theme-based approach to our progressive teaching. This way, GDI will always provide a progressive, innovative and growing curriculum to match each student's developmental pace.

Progression themes include:

• GDI1 (INTRO) - Foundation Development
  
• GDI2 (ADVANCED) - Introduction to Multi-Inputs
  
• GDI3 (HIGH PERFORMANCE) - Advanced Technical
  
• GDI4 (ELITE) - Advanced Technical and Multi-Input Training
  
• GDI5 (PROSPECT) - Advanced Tactical and Game-Dynamic Training
