Anybody know any drills to teach goalies to use the butterfly slides? Like from scratch, no butterfly sliding experience. Right now it's more like a leap and drop, any tips on how to teach them to be smoother, and not do the leap at the beginning?

And I'm not referring to how to do it - I've taught them that, and we go over it every ice time. They know how to do it, it's just more or less applying it.

Any tips would be great Smile

actually I worked on my slides a lot over the summer, cause i basically can't do one. I started by just learning to drop my lead leg, cause I would usually try to drop my trailing leg, dont know why. So i guess my process went:
Get into VH-stance
Take small pushes at first, and work your way up to large ones

and for crouch to slide
start to go to VH, then once I'm 1/2-3/4 down hold it, and then push, then go all the way to a slide.

Err. sound kinda confusing now that i wrote it down but it works on ice. or at least for me.
