Goalkeeper training at Burgess Hill Town FC Juniors

MANAGER: Jason Hopper

I played largely at semi professional level for 15 years having represented Surrey Schools for 3 seasons. I have coached adults and children for over 30 years.

I am a Father and Mentor to my son Jake,  who at 7yrs old was signed for Brighton as a keeper. He played here at Burgess Hill for 4 seasons and has subsequently played for Sussex and Mid Sussex this season.

My passion is developing young keepers being patient and understanding to their various development needs. Its also so important that they have amazing fun each Saturday in my sessions.

We have currently 12 keepers ranging from 8 to 12 years old attending each week. Its really lovely hearing all about the great keeper performances each week from the coaches. Gives me a real sense of achievement and pride. Makes it all worth the investment.
