MISSION STATEMENT

Steve Hale Goalkeeping School is for the Goalkeeper who wants to improve and develop his or her game. I am looking for Goalkeepers who have a passion for keeping the ball out of the net in what is a specialised position on the pitch. In a fun and safe environment, I want to help Goalkeepers of all ages and abilities to better themselves technically, tactically, physically, psychologically and socially, striving to be the best that they can and enjoy themselves along the way.

Dear Parent/Goalkeeper

WHAT TO BRING

It’s important that goalkeepers bring suitable footwear for training on the 3G surface (moulded stud boots, not screw in studs or blades). It would also be advisable for goalkeepers to wear tracksuit trousers when training on the 3G, the padded variety if they have them. Please ensure the goalkeeper brings clothes/wet-top to keep them warm and a water bottle.

BEFORE, DURING & AFTER ETIQUETTE

When the goalkeeper arrives, the coach will take a register. During the session parents are free to stay and watch or can return at the end of the session. At the end of the session, a coach will get the child to point out their parent/guardian before allowing the child to leave and if it is any other person collecting the child the coach needs to be advised of this in advance of the session. I am very strict on this as I do not want children running off on their own or with strangers. I want a safe environment before, during and after my sessions. If you are unable to make a session, please let me know as soon as possible.

COST

There is a “one off” registration fee of just £6.00 per year. The cost of the coaching will be £11.00 per session paid monthly (some months 2, some 3, some 4, some 5 sessions just depending on how the holiday terms and Wednesday’s fall) payable either by cash or direct bank transfer (please ask for account details which I will provide) Future monthly payments will be due on the last session of each month thereafter.  It will be on a "first come, first served" basis and I am ideally looking for no more than 22 Goalkeepers per age group Session. Once these numbers are full, I will then keep a waiting list so if at any-time your child wants to stop coming it is important that you let me know so that others can have the opportunity to join. 

FACILITIES

Kingsdown School is a strictly “No Smoking” facility therefore please refrain from smoking within its grounds. Please also drive carefully within the car-park. There are changing rooms and access to a toilet just next to the 3G pitch. If you have any rubbish, please take with you or place in an appropriate bin.
