Les was a great help whilst I was on loan at Crystal Palace. His standards are high, his coaching repertoire was varied and enjoyable.
Thomas Myhre, Charlton Athletic

Les started coaching for me a number of years ago when he was still playing. On becoming the manager at Crystal Palace I was pleased to have Les back onboard as my first team goalkeeping coach his coaching experience was extremely useful when dealing with the keepers at the club under very difficult circumstances.
Steve Kember, Crystal Palace ex-manager

Goalkeeping success stories

We are pleased to be linked with a large number of professional and semi-professional achievements. These aren’t just goalkeepers who we have coached on 1 or 2 occasion, they are goalkeepers who we have worked with over a period of time and had the opportunity to aid in their goalkeeping development. We are pleased to announce that these claims can be fully backed up unlike a number of coaching companies whose association is loose at best.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are just a few high profile keepers that we have worked with in more recent times and this success has been continued through the last 13 years. This level of achievement is not only unequalled with other gk schools, but is the tip of the iceberg with regards the large number of keepers that are doing great things at club level as a direct result of the most comprehensive goalkeeping programme in the country today.
Some of the high profile goalkeepers that I have been fortunate to have worked with have helped to form a sound philosophy.

Petr Cech, Maik Taylor, Edwin van der sar, Carlo Cudicini, Casper Schmiechel, Thomas Mhyre, Henrique Hilario.

These values are transferred to all of the young keepers that we work with. As well as high profile keepers we have worked with and alongside some of the top goalkeeping coaches at some renown clubs.
Our club associations and contacts are second to none in professional and semi-professional football all over the world.
