"I have really enjoyed the training sessions with Richard Lee at the Watford Powerleague Centre. They were fun, interesting and both technically and physically challenging. Richards’s attention to detail, preparation and obvious passion for Goalkeeping and passing on his knowledge and experience is apparent in every session. The sessions have definitely helped to improve my technical ability and understanding of the game and I would recommend his Goalkeeping School and Goalkeeping Training Sessions to Goalkeepers of all ages and all levels of ability".

I would like to take this opportunity to say that this course has developed my son to be a very confident keeper. His distribution from goal being taught the techniques in kicking and throwing has gained him confidence to make the right decisions in a game, this can be very daunting for a young boy when all his team are shouting at him for the ball.
They have covered every aspect a keeper will have in games and their constant and consistent encouragement throughout the sessions makes my son look forward to the next session.
My son even explains the techniques he has learnt to our other goalkeeper to help him which I think is really encouraging as it shows he is really listening to what he is being told.
All the sessions are demonstrated and the ratio of coaches to kids is adequate and they always finish on team games.
The sessions are structured every week so there is focus on certain types of goalkeeping, i.e., cross taking, distribution, communication, 1 v1's and even goalkeeper fitness!
A course well worth pursuing, even if they haven't decided that they want to play in goal, it's has the fun element with it and that’s what all children like.

“Rich Lee’s goalkeeping training provides a great resource for young players to practise a multitude of skills in order to become better keepers.
The sessions contain a variety of drills each of which focus on a particular area of keeper training. There are occasions where the trainees work in small groups in order to support each other but all the time under the supervision of a trainer. At other times, the trainers will intervene to give one-to one tuition to ensure that some aspect is properly understood and implemented.
There’s an impressive blend of group activity and individual attention. At the sessions I have witnessed, there has been a broad range of ages and abilities and the trainers have proved adept at mixing and then separating the different groups when appropriate. There are no short cuts on the road to becoming a better keeper but Rich Lee’s sessions provide a very welcome opportunity for trainees to develop their skills”.

“GK Icon was a really helpful and fun experience. The facilities are first rate, the coaches really know their stuff and it’s a very cool environment to improve your keeping skills and have a good time. I’d recommend to anyone, give it a go!”

"My Boys have attended Richard Lee's Goal Keeping School, which they really enjoyed. They learnt lots of new Goalkeeping skills which they were able to put into action during their football matches. They had great fun, the coaches were excellent. They were helped along the way in improving their Techniques, were given positive feedback & gained a lot of self confidence & belief. I would highly recommend this school for all Goal Keepers."
