The 6x6 Goalie Academy is a compilation of knowledge that Coach Gigliotti has retained through his playing experience, attending camps, instructing at clinics, and attending numerous conventions. It offers every goalie the opportunity to get better at the greatest position you chose to pursue, in the greatest Team Sport on Earth......Lacrosse!! This academy reaches out to any goalie, male or female, at all levels of the game, and we don't just teach you the skills, we make you better.

Individual Lessons (sesions last about an hour to an hour and a half)

Group Lessons (same as above but limited to no more than 3 goalies)

Team Sessions - where a staff member will come to your team's practice and not only warm you up, but also observe and instruct you throughout your team's practice. Area Clinics - is a great opportunity to get goalies in and around your area to come together and learn the position. We will travel anywhere in the Midwest and we will bring a limited staff that will provide expert goalie instruction. (minimum: 5 goalies; maximum: 10 goalies)

Goalie Camps - Areas are TBD. Coaches Clinic - these sessions will help any non-goalie coach how to teach the basics to your goalies when you can't find a goalie coach.

2026 hit differently. ❤️🥍

This year's 6x6 Goalie Camp wasn't just our biggest camp ever—it was our most meaningful.

There were more hugs, more tears, more laughter, and more growth than I could've imagined. Every goalie left with new tools for their game, but more importantly, they left with new friendships, mentors, support, and a family that will always have their back.

Our staff made that possible.

We welcomed 6 new staff members and many new interns this year, and from day one it felt like they'd been part of the family forever. They weren't here for a paycheck—they were here because they genuinely care. They spent countless hours talking with campers about lacrosse, life, faith, leadership, mental health, and everything in between. Not one kid was ever turned away from a conversation.

I challenged this staff to be more than goalie coaches. I asked them to be teachers, mentors, role models, and leaders. They exceeded every expectation. We saw new presenters, some if not all who battled their anxiety of public speaking and literally blew away those fears delivering powerful and impactful speeches. We saw an increase of interns this year and they all stepped up to the challenge and helped make this camp memorable for all and even learned a thing or two. New staff who never went to a goalie camp were blown away by what this camp brought to the table.

We're not built on big names or social media fame. We're built on people with huge hearts who are passionate about helping the next generation of goalies become better athletes and even better people.

Rob Porter, described this camp as "magical," and I couldn't agree more. It feels like family the moment you arrive—and that's exactly what we've always wanted. It's an uplifting experience.

To every coach, counselor, volunteer, and camper...thank you for making our biggest camp the easiest one I've ever directed.

I closed camp with this "It's not what you do in life that matters, but it's who you do it with" (Credit: Jelly Roll)

I love you all, and I already can't wait for 2027. ❤️

6x6 Goalie Camp is FAMILY.

At 6x6, we believe being a goalie is about so much more than saves, stats, recruiting, or the logo on the front of a college jersey.

We pride ourselves on building connections and relationships that help goalies navigate the difficult moments, celebrate the victories, and appreciate the small wins that often go unnoticed. The friendships formed here extend far beyond four days at camp—they become lifelong relationships built on trust, support, and shared experiences.

The people you meet along your journey are the ones you want by your side when life is at its best and the ones you can lean on when life gets tough. That's what makes this community special.

When you arrive at 6x6, you come as an individual. When you leave, you leave as part of something bigger—a family.

We're not here to compete with other camps or training programs. Our mission is simple: provide goalies with an opportunity to maximize their potential, feel recognized for their hard work, and know they belong to a community that truly understands the position and the person behind the mask.

Whether you're an experienced goalie or just starting your journey, you are welcome here.

Come for the training. Leave with a family.
