Clive Saunders Goalkeeping School

The Goalkeeping School recently held their 12th Annual Presentation Evening at Hurn Bridge Sports Club. Awards were made by the sponsors of the evening Gumshields.com, Zapcam Ltd, and The Wilkins Foundation.

Clive started his Goalkeeping School in 1993 after retiring from playing in Goal for such teams as Swanage, Weymouth, Salisbury, Bashley and Brockenhurst over a 12 year period. He decided to take his FA Coaching Badge and is now passing on his expertise to many local Goalkeepers.

Clive was the first person to open a Goalkeeping School in Bournemouth and coaches boys and girls in groups, individually and holds courses during school holidays. There are also two residential courses held each year which are very popular.

These included Goalkeepers Gareth Stewart, Neil Moss, Michael Menetrier, Nick Stone, Jimmy Glass, Mark Ovendale and Jamie Ashdown.
