A goalie training apparatus has a first plurality of semi-circular wedge-shaped barriers attached to an upper glide surface of a slide board along an arc and at least one other barrier attached to the upper glide surface separated from the first plurality of barriers leaving a portion of the glide surface unobstructed. The arcuate faces of the barriers present multi-angular push-off points important for goalie training, as goalies must move in various directions within the goal crease. The barriers are preferably attached to the glide surfac e with high strength hook and loop fasteners, possibly in combination with bolts, screws or rivets. Wearing a foot covering with a low coefficient of friction in relation to the glide surface, a goalie stands atop the unobstructed glide surfa ce and pushes a foot against one barrier and glides or shuffles along the glide sur face to another barrier/push point. The second barrier may be a plurality of barriers and represents the goal or goal posts. The first plurality of barriers represent target points in front of a goal that are important for goalies practicing "goin g out" and "cutting down" angles.
