Lee Harper has been coaching my son Leo for about a year, transforming him from a novice who had only just discovered a love of football into a confident and eager learner.
My son's progress as a goalkeeper has been nothing short of impressive. Lee possesses an incredible ability to engage with kids, creating an environment that is both fun and challenging. Their sessions are filled with exciting drills and exercises that not only improve skills but also ignite a genuine love for the sport.
The group sessions on a Monday are fantastic, ensuring that every goalkeeper receives attention and guidance and I would also recommend the one on one private sessions, with a tailored approach to suit individual needs.
Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend this brilliant goalkeeper coach to any parent seeking a mentor for their child. I can see my son's growth on the field every Saturday which is a true reflection of Lee's outstanding coaching abilities.

My son Marley has been training with Lee for a little while now and he has loved every minute of it.
When Marley first started he was totally knew to Goalkeeping and wasn't yet playing for a team, but with Lee's guidance he progressed fast and it wasn't long before he joined a local team. 

Mark B 24/11/23

 Our son Hugh has been training with Lee since he was 7. Now 11, he still enjoys every session and you can see how much he has grown in his confidence and abilities. The sessions are tailored to the group well and Lee has a great manner with the children. They have fun, but they also learn to listen and concentrate. Not always easy!! 

Emily Foster 24/11/23

My son Joey has been   training with Lee for about 4 months now, and the progress he has already   made has been excellent. Lee has taught him various technical skills which   have helped improve his match performance considerably. He first went to Lee   as a very shy little keeper, full of self doubt and lacking in confidence. He   is now thriving and so much more aware of how valuable he is to his team.   This is all thanks to Lee and his excellent coaching. He not only has an   abundance of knowledge and experience to share with his keepers, but he also   has the ability to relay the information to them in a way that is fun and   easy to understand. Joey feels very privileged to train with such a fantastic   group of keepers, and absolutely loves attending the sessions each week.

Gemma Bissett 21/11/23

My son Keon has been with Lee for about 2 months now and loves it! He's always the most excited when Tuesdays come and keeps saying he wants to be a professional goalkeeper. His first day was a bit tricky as he was quite nervous however Lee and his team were very understanding and after 5 min Keon was comfortable and enjoying the training. Thank you Lee and team for the wonderful support! Much appreciated.

Renata  20/11/23

My son loves his training sessions with Lee and has used what he's learned to improve so much recently.... I would definitely recommend!  

Matt Baskerville 20/11/23

 My son Harry has been training with Lee for three years now. He loves training with Lee and looks forward to going every week.
Under Lee's guidance he has grown in confidence and the skills he has developed have been a huge asset to his team. It has been wonderful to see him grow throughout the three years and we are very grateful to Lee. 

 Luke Wakefield 20/11/23

Our son has been attending Lhgka at Northampton for the last 18 months. Lee’s training sessions are based on his own experience and the way he delivers that to the boys is fantastic. Dylan has grown in confidence and technical ability since joining. Dylan’s own words are give Lee a 5 star rating. 

 Richard Hajo 20/11/23

I would highly recommend LHGKA goalkeeper school to any parent or young footballer looking to improve their skills and technique. My son Oscar has been attending the school for the past few months and has seen a significant improvement in his goalkeeping abilities. He is now more confident in his shot-stopping, handling, and distribution. He is also more aware of his positioning and decision-making on the field.
Lee, the coach, is a fantastic instructor. He is patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about goalkeeper training. He takes the time to get to know each player individually. He also creates a fun and positive learning environment that encourages players to challenge themselves and reach their full potential.
Overall, I am very happy with the progress my son has made at LHGKA goalkeeper school. I would encourage any parent or young footballer to give it a try. It is a great investment in their future as a goalkeeper. Thanks for everything Lee & Team.  

 Daniel Ryan 20/11/23

Finley is now playing U16 football and over the last couple of seasons after playing in several positions, he decide to focus on being a goalkeeper. We then attended a few goalkeeper academies, but for one reason or another they were not the right fit for Finley. He was not enjoying them and felt that the sessions were very repetitive. We then found Lee Harper and Finley was immediately made to feel extremely welcome and he loves the sessions every week, which are varied and professionally put together. Finley has now been with Lee for several months, and he has truly come on leaps and bounds. So much so, that Finley now plays for Slough U16s and even trains with the Slough Senior First Team goalkeepers. We do not underestimate the huge improvements Finley has made since he’s been with Lee and as a result, I could not recommend Lee Harper highly enough!  

 Mark Prieg 20/11/23

Lee has been incredible with Max and has come on leaps and bounds since having extra Training with Lee.
He gets many of clean sheets and some of his saves are epic and he often gets comments on his Goal keeping. If you are looking for one to one or just to boost your child's technique, confidence and over all ability Lee is your man.

 Abigail Marshall 20/11/23

In a just a few weeks Lee has helped Harry: 1. Read the game 2. Improve his positioning 3. Improve his reflexes and reaction 4. Build his confidence 5. Tighten ball control 6. Choose the right distribution 7. Be a more effective leader 8. Improve decision making It’s an amazing goalkeeping academy - Lee is not only a legend in the game, he is also an unbelievably gifted coach. We can’t thank you enough Lee!

Catherine Johnson 19/11/23

Izzy has been attending Lee’s weekly training sessions for just under 2 years now.
Izzy was a little bit daunted going in as a girl in such a boy dominant group but Lee instantly made her feel welcome and at ease.
She absolutely loves attending the sessions come rain or shine and the way she has improved since she started training is a true testament in itself to Lee’s dedication, enthusiasm and skill as a coach.
Lee’s attention to detail is outstanding and he always spends time with each and every child to encourage and ensure that they understand where they can improve and praises when they are getting it right.
Since Izzy has been attending she has gained her teams most improved player of the year award.
Thanks for all your hard work Lee!!!

Clare Price 18/11/23

My son Luca has been training with Lee for 1 year now, I must say that luca has grown in confidence, Lee is an exceptional coach he is very encouraging and also very patient, all the boys/ girls get on so well, luca looks forward to every training session, LHGKA I can highly recommended 10/10 I am extremely impressed.

Sarah Italiano 18/11/23

My son Finn has only been training with Lee for a few months but joined without any problems (normally new clubs are so daunting and this would be tricky for my son). However, Lee's sessions where exactly what he wanted and needed as an 11 year old aspirational goalkeeper. Lee delivers very expert skills in a really fun, engaging and professional manner.
Nicky McGinty 18/11/23
 

My lad Jack has come on so much since staring with Lee. His attitude, handling and positioning is so much better, and he loves doing the training as well.

Dan Tilley 18/11/23

My son George has been going since September, his confidence has grown enormously already. Lee is very understanding and is amazing with all the children. My son absolutely loves going to Lee’s goalkeeping sessions, he has even been to some extra camps in the half term. He has learnt so much from Lee and we can see how much George has developed with his goalkeeping. Thank you Lee!

Sarah Whitlock 18/11/23

Lee’s goalkeeper training is first class and my son Luca u13 is extremely engaged each week. Lee’s top professional experience of course gives him credibility and when he talks the kids listen but it’s also his passion and ability to communicate clearly with encourage that makes the weekly goalkeeper sessions outstanding. We travel 1hr in total each Tuesday to attend as it’s a critical part of Luca’s goal keeper development.

Richard H 18/11/23

Since starting training in May, my son’s goal keeping ability has improved. Technically, he has learnt skills that his normal football club would have been unable to provide him with. Lee makes sessions fun and his engaging manor with the children make them feel valued. My son always leaves the session with a smile on his face.

Tracy 17/11/23

My son has been training with Lee for several years now, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Lee is a great coach; his drills are varied, interesting and challenging, and my son loves attending his sessions. My son has played for the County and at semi-professional level, and we have to give credit to Lee for the fantastic support and encouragement that he has given my son to enable this.

Paula Kirkup 17/11/23

I would just like to thank Lee for his unwavering tolerance and commitment. My son has flourished with his football and goal skills in the short time he has been with Lee. I love Lee’s approach with the children…. firm, fair, friendly and tolerant. I couldn’t ask for more, thank you x

Melanie Bennett 

Our son has been attending LHGK academy for the past 2 years. Lee is knowledgeable, professional and personable. He relates so well to the children/adults he coaches and most importantly makes the sessions fun! Lee is really approachable and happy to provide individual guidance and tips when needed. Our son is working with team mates much older then himself and he loves it, he is being challenged and evidently growing in confidence on the pitch. Everyone has been so welcoming to him.
Verity 17/11/23
 

My son Freddie has recently started training with Lee and every week he looks forward to it. It has helped him develop insanely and has taught him skills he carriers through to his football team league games

Katie Thurkettle 17/11/23

My son started to train with Lee earlier this year and really enjoys it. Lee is great with the group and explains everything so well. I am learning too and can now give him much better advice before matches! My son has also taken part in holiday camps and 1-2-1s and the support and advice he has received has been a huge benefit.

Jodie Parsons 17/11/23

What can I say.
Our son decided he wanted to be a goalkeeper 6 months ago. He was keen but didn’t know what to do. He tried hard but conceded goals and was getting upset (he’s 10)
He was so determined to be good that we found Lee.
He teaches how to be a keeper, where to stand, got to react and most important how to behave. It’s always fun but always learning.
Since then Christopher has won numerous POTM awards, kept many clean sheets and gone from strength to strength.

Dave Chapman 17/11/23

My son has been training with Lee for around 6 months and improved on his goal keeper skills a lot but mostly he really enjoys this session with Lee .excellent training and always keeps you up to date with extra lessons and updates.

Mandy Brown 17/11/23

Lee has been coaching Oliver for over 3 years now & Olivers goalkeeping continues to improve. It's not just Lee's knowledge of the game but the way he talks to & connects with each of his "students"
Great coach, thank you for everything you have done for Oliver so far.

Lee Palmer  17/11/23

My son’s been training weekly with Lee for 8 months and looks forward to it every week. He has developed considerably in that time and he’s won promotion, won a tour, played at St George’s Park and has earned a place in the county squad.
The focused and varied training drills are always game realistic and are having a big impact on him, it’s significantly improved his confidence. Great group of boys, good value and Lee brings a lot of passion and experience to the sessions.

Stuart 11/11/23

 I'd like to leave the following testimonial... My son has had training with Lee for over a year. Lee is not only an excellent coach but his manner is amazing. He is encouraging, patient and kind. He is also incredibly brilliant with neurodiverse children and Lee engages so well with them.  

Mrs. Howard 10/11/23

Lee’s Goalkeeping Academy is second to none! Alex has been attending for over a year now and has grown in confidence while playing in goal. His goalkeeping techniques improved so much, he was voted the most improved player in his team last year. The way Lee teaches is absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend LHGKA enough.

 Dorota Clark-Hall 11/11/23

My son has been training with Lee for 18 months now and it's been transformative for him. He came to Lee at the age of 14 years old as a relative novice having only started playing for a local Saturday League team to fulfil his Duke of Edinburgh award sport criteria, but he got the bug and loved playing and decided he wanted to take it to the next level, Lee has got him there. It's also given him bags more confidence on match days. He loves coming to training on Tuesday night come rain or shine! The half-term camps and 1-1's have also been amazing and my son never wants to miss one, that's saying a lot as I usually can't tear him away from his X-Box! Many thanks to Lee and Riley for all the excellent hard work they've put in, it really shines through in how happy the boys and girls are during the sessions. I would heartily recommend LHGKA to anyone looking to take their game to the next level! 

Daniel Rees 10/11/23
 

 My son Max has been going to Lees for over 3 years now. The sessions are excellent especially the training Lee does on the technical side of goalkeeping. Lees experience truly shows in his training sessions and his ability to give great advice and training to young goalkeepers. Max has had 100s of hours of training but still regards the 1 on 1 session he recently had with Lee as one of the best training sessions he has ever had. I would highly recommend LHGKA to both new goalkeepers and more experienced ones.

Frederick Johansson 10/11/23

 

My son has been going to Lee for approximately 6 months now and has developed quickly. The technical goalkeeping my son has now is due to Lee’s effective coaching. I highly recommend Lee for any budding goalkeeper!

Stuart Neaves 9/11/23

My son Rudi loves going to Lee’s Goalkeeping sessions ! Rudi has learnt so much from Lee already and still continues to enjoy learning all the skills and techniques he has to offer … you won’t find better coaching around … Can’t recommend enough.

Caroline Henderson 31/05/23

Michael has been attending Lee's sessions at LHGKA @ Abbey Rangers FC for over 2 seasons now. Lee's sessions have significantly improved Michael's all round game through Lee's variety of technical drills/circuits that are always well organised/planned ahead. In 1 season Lee has helped Michael in moving 2 groups up within his football club, he has also recently got into Chelsea's advanced development centre. Michael has attended other GK Training sessions in the past, LHGKA is definitely the best in the area and is excellent value for money...

Michael Krajewski 25/04/23

My son Jake has been attending Lees academy for 6 months now,and has improved so much.His kicking,catching,just listening to Lees advice has helped him get player of the match on a few occasions recently. Such a nice guy,who gives all his lads 100% time and effort individually and as a group.Thanks Lee.

Ady Dalton 23/04/23

My son Hunter has been with Lee for just over two years and his progress has been great to see. Lee has developed the football side as well as the traditional goalkeeping and Hunter loves going to his sessions. I couldn't recommend LHGKA highly enough for any aspiring keepers and of all the coaches Hunter has had Lee is hands down the best.

Dylan 19/4/23

Jack loves going to the weekly sessions and has learnt so much. Great facilities and the drills are always changing.

John Stephenson 19/4/23

It is definitely the best! We tried a few goalie trainings although my son never enjoyed any this much! He’s been going to Lee’s trainings for 2 years now and his confidence and ability has changed so much! Brilliant entertaining trainings! Thanks Lee and the team!

Beatrix Caceres-Varga 19/4/23

Our son, in September 2022 at the age of 10 decided he wanted to play football and be a goalkeeper (having never showed interest in sport). He went to put local team and the manager said he couldn't put him in the squad. He was still determined to stick with goalkeeping. We googled goalkeeper training near us and came across lee harper. At that point it was December and our son had a few appearances in friendlies but was subbed more than anything. New year and training began within weeks he was now first choice keeper and opposition coaches regularly commenting on his ability to shot stop and how he closed off angles. Lee has recently asked him to step up to the next group which has older kids but Lee has ensured he felt comfortable. Long way to go for our young lad to go but everyone has noticed how much he has evolved in 3 months and the team manager is getting excited about where his development will be next season. Lee helps kids of all ages and has helped Finns confidence and enjoyment of football. Thanks lee.

Andrew kelly 19/4/23

My year 3 son Morgan has been training with Lee since June 2021 and his improvement is no end. Lee’s sessions are uniquely prepared and prepped to teach the keepers a variety of skills. He adapts his approach depend on the child’s needs and personalities . He is warm welcoming and friendly. Morgans grassroot coaches and parents alike have commented on his progression not only his skills but also his confidence leading Morgan to become captain and receive multiple man of the match awards. Thank you lee

Emma Quigley 11/10/21 2:44
 

My Son Will started his training with Lee as a newcomer to the goalkeeping world. Now after two and a half years he is unrecognisable from the shy quiet lad to a confident, capable keeper. He is now playing 3 tiers above where he started and continues to grow and learn at every training session. He has nothing but full respect for Lee in his coaching methods and his inclusion of all that train. I would definitely recommend any budding young keepers to join the lhgka family. It has worked wonders for Will.

Tom Bewley 5/10/21 9:53

My son Ben has been going to Lee's coaching sessions for over 5 years now and has improved no end! Lee teaches how to deal with situations that you may come across in a match, and will stop and explain so that it has been understood by everyone! Ben enjoys Lee's sessions and looks forward to them every week. Lee's coaching is 1st class and you can see that everyone involves listens and takes everything in and at the same time enjoy his coaching.

If you are looking for a first class goalkeeper coach look no further than Lee, and you will not be disappointed!!

Sue Pearcey -  9:56 AM on May 4, 2021  

My 17 year old son Robert, has been training with Lee in his group sessions on a Tuesday evening for over a year now. The improvements in all parts of his game is extremely obvious, from his awareness and shot stopping to his kicking. The follow on from this is not only becoming a regular starter in his own age group, but also now training and making his debut with the year group above. I would thoroughly recommend this goalkeeper coach to anybody that is holding dreams of possibly reaching the highest level they possibly can.

Kevin Manly -  8:08 AM on May 3, 2021  by kevinrsymanly@gmail.com

Harvey joined Lee's academy about 5 years ago and at that stage he was a combative central midfielder who wanted to play as a Goalkeeper, so very much a blank canvas. Harvey has progressed incredibly with Lee and now at 16 he is now part of his Advanced academy. The sessions are always varied and Lee will always adapt a session to help goalkeepers who have a part of their game they are struggling with or want to improve on. Most importantly the kids enjoy the sessions and show respect to the coach so you dont see any messing about across the age groups yet they can still have a laugh whilst training hard.

Andy - 6:32 AM on May 2, 2021  by andy.bolland75@gmail.com

My son Oscar has trained with various Goalie Coaches over the last 2-3 years...Lee is the best by far. Each session is planned well and the kids are all engaged throughout. Lee also stops and explains why he is doing something rather than just expecting the kids to do it just because he says to. Oscar has improved massively and he looks forward to Lees sessions.

Mike Noto - 5:11 PM on May 1, 2021  by Mikenoto@hotmail.co.uk

If you are looking for the best in goal keeper coaching, then you will find exactly that in Lee. My son has been with him for just under 3 years and in that time progressed from a passionate youngster - to having interest from 3 professional clubs, and now in an academy. Lee is not a GK sausage factory, it isn?t a mass venue where your child is lost in the crowd. What he offers is special. He knows his students and adapts his feedback and drills for each of them. He has an amazing style and truthfully cannot recommend him highly enough.

Sam -  3:50 PM on May 1, 2021  by Sambressington72@outlook.com

My son Harley has been coached by Lee for while now and I couldn?t recommend him highly enough. Harley enjoys his sessions each week and we can see how well he has progressed and is becoming a strong and confident Goalkeeper. Thanks Lee!!

Suzie Wallace - 3:14 PM on May 1, 2021  by swhitebread@ntlworld.com

My son has been coming to Lee for over a year and learned so much. His enthusiasm rubs off onthe kids and the children enjoy the sessions, thank you for your hard work and kindness.

Lala -  3:13 PM on May 1, 2021  by Soraya_raza@hotmail.com

My son Danny has been coached by Lee for over a year now, he has made massive improvements thanks to Lee?s coaching and at the end of every match he plays the coach of the other teams always call him over to say how well he has played, and this is due to Lee?s coaching. Danny has learnt so much since being with him, and is a different player now. We wouldn?t have him trained by anyone else.

Hayley -  1:59 PM on May 1, 2021  by hayleybethjaz@hotmail.co.uk

Will has been coached by Lee since he was 8 and he's now 15! Since joining Lee's advanced session Will has come on leaps and bounds and is showing all the skills and techniques to be a decent sweeper keeper. He plays for an EJA side on Sunday, and its due to excellent training from Lee that he is more than valued wherever he goes! Lee's drills are well thought about, and organised, and GK can apply what he teaches easily to match days. Confidence, skill and technique is everything you will learn at Lee Harper GK Academy ????

Suzie Hamm-Bury - 12:43 PM on May 1, 2021  by Radiohamm99@aol.com 

We can't recommend Lee's coaching highly enough - Oliver has been with him for a number of years, and has never lost his enthusiasm due to Lee's excellent, hard work but fun sessions.  Oliver has developed in skill, technique and confidence, and is now with a semi-pro side. Lee will bring the best out of every young keeper.

Paula Kirkup -  12:24 PM on May 1, 2021  by neil.kirkup@sky.com

I would just like to say how well my son harrison has done since joining a couple of months ago, today i seen all of lee's hard work pay off in harrisons performance at his game, commanding his area, shouting at his defence to hold there line, shouting at his whole squad to mark up and get in formation, and to top it off his team won 3-0 and harrison had not only a clean sheet, but also made some absolute blinding saves, one was a full on stretch across his goal mouth and saved it going in. We are super proud of how much he has learnt and thankful for all of lee's hard work he has done with harrison, his confidence is growing each and every week. Keep up the good work lee and harrison

Justine Mitchel -  8:01 AM on December 12, 2020  by mitchelljustine@rocketmail.com

Can�??t recommend lee�??s academy enough. Lee worked with our 8 year old for 6 months, Improving his skill, understanding and confidence. Lee is always available for advice and direction and the sessions are fun which keeps the younger ones attention. Cannot recommend this academy enough!

Will -  7:34 AM on August 19, 2020  by Will.cherrington@gmail.com

Hi lee I wanted to thank you for bringing on Hux in such a short period. His confidence and keeping standards have gone through the roof since he�??s been with you. He absolutely loves it! So much so ,two weeks ago had to do a school project on some one he looks up to and wants to be like. He did it on you! So again thanks for all the effort you put in.

Will - 8:43 AM on March 1, 2020  by Will.cherrington@gmail.com

My son has been to just 3 sessions with Lee so far and we have already seen a massive improvement in his goalkeeping techniques and confidence. Lee takes the time to know all of his 'students' and has taken the time out to answer questions that my son has had. He really enjoys the sessions and comes away really happy and talks about how he is going to use his new skill at his next match. The team he plays for have noticed the change too and awarded him player of the match. Were very excited about my sons future as a goalkeeper and know he is in safe hands with Lee Harper. Highly recommended

Chris Barker  - 4:19 PM on February 12, 2019  by chrisnemma@gmail.com

Ivan has been training with Lee for a month, and at this weekends match, he was able to put every aspect of the training into practice. He does not stand on the line frozen anymore, he commands his area and beyond. He comes away after every training session buzzing, and wanting to add new skills into his match. One month and an unbelievable improvement.

Robert Barlow  - 2:30 PM on February 11, 2019  by piggypc@gmail.com

My son Matthew joined Lee's GK training in Sept 2018, and what a difference it has made to him. He has grown so much in confidence and really is enjoying the training. Not only do I think that this training has made a difference but so does the parents of our team and also on several occasions he has had high praise from opposing teams on how fab he is in goal. This is purely down to Lee and I am very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you Lee and Jen!!

Georgina Hornblow  -  9:11 AM on February 5, 2019  by georginahornblow@hotmail.co.uk

My son has only been training with Lee for about a month and he loves the training sessions. However, more importantly he is so much more confident during games and other parents have commented on the improvement they have seen in him. Thank you so much Lee.

Ricardo Garcia -  7:28 AM on January 16, 2019  by garciar108@yahoo.co.uk

My son, Matthew has been training with Lee for a while now and gets so much out of the sessions. Matthew's confidence has grown and his passion for goalkeeping has been rejuvenated. I would most certainly recommend Lee to anyone looking for a goalkeeping coach

Donna Hanby - 10:34 AM on November 6, 2018  by donnahanby05@aol.com

Lee as been working with my son Shane for about 4 months now and shane loves training with Lee and the group, He has progressed massively and lee as well as good coach i believe the boys look up to him as a Big mate. Shane looks foward to he?s sessions with Lee every week and I would recommend any body wanting goalkeeping sessions then get in touch.

Shane smith - 3:08 AM on October 12, 2018  by Shanesmith.1982@yahoo.co.uk

My 9 yr old son has been with Lee for about 6 months now, he has learnt so much in that time and his confidence and ability have grown immensely. Lee is great with the kids too and fair to all of them. I would not hesitate in recommending to anyone who wants to learn from him, in particular being an ex-pro there is no better way of learning. If Dylan is not still training with Lee in a couple of years time, I would be disappointed.

Graham Jordan -  9:14 AM on October 2, 2018  by grahamj2017@gmail.com

My son Ben has been attending Lee's goalkeeping sessions for a few months now, he loves his time there, has progressed massively and boosted his confidence. Lee always has the children engaged and makes the lessons fun and interesting, I think most of the time the children don't even realise they're learning! Lee provides different strategies using games and other techniques and ensures every individual knows what they're doing. He inspires them to be the best they can be and they always come out of their lessons smiling. Keep up the good work Lee!

Amanda Morgan - 6:46 AM on September 27, 2018  by amanda_morgan@sky.com

My son Isaac has been training with Lee Harper for around 6months now and never wants to miss a week! His comment to me just last Tuesday when I picked him up was ?I wish I could do that every day Mum!? Lee is fantastic with his students and always wants to get the best out of them. He trains in a strict but fun atmosphere and is always firm but fair which his students very much respect him for. We could not be happier that we have finally found a goalkeeping teacher that really inspires Isaac to grow and learn and want to keep having fun and getting better! Thank you Lee!

Rachel Dixon - 3:41 AM on September 27, 2018  by Rachel.dixon5@virginmedia.com

On behalf of my boy Albie I would just like to say how much he?s enjoyed your goalkeeper training he?s come on really well Lee is very fun n fair n get straight to work with the kids I?ve not had to intervene once to make sure my boys listen which he has a habit of getting distracted, n there?s never been any confusion in to whats happening n when, very organised I would definitely would recommend Lee Harper?s training sessions.

Maxine white - 1:47 PM on September 26, 2018  by maxine_1988@outlook.com

My Stepson Nathan has been coached by Lee Harper for 2 seasons now but within a few weeks I noticed a huge improvement in Nathan's goalkeeping skills. Lee makes the sessions fun but also concentrates hard on improving the children's technique. If your son or daughter is a goalkeeper or wants to be a goalkeeper I would strongly recommend some sessions with Lee Harper. Anthony Collett

Anthony Collett - 11:03 AM on March 26, 2018  by anthony.collett@sky.com

My son Ellis has been coming to Lee?s sessions for over 5 years now and has come on leaps and bounds ! Lee took Ellis as a 6 year old boy who could hardly catch a ball !! And has turned him in to a goal keeping super star ! His patients and knowledge is immense.... lee has so much time for each and every child he trains! During Ellis time with Lee he has achieved player of the year twice for his club. This would never have been achieved with out lees support and encouragement. Ellis has said he won?t ever leave Lee to train anywhere else and that speaks volumes to me ! You are Ellis idol and he wants so much to be as good as you. Thank you so much Lee ! You have been awesome 👏 Long may Ellis improve and become closer to being the next Arsenal safe hands !!!!!!!

Sara-Louise Welland - 3:55 AM on March 7, 2018  by Sarawelland@yahoo.co.uk

My son, Owen, has been attending Lee's sessions for a couple of years and is progressing all the time. It's clear he has a good relationship with the boys and has created an environment that is both challenging and fun. The sessions have a great deal of variety and help to understand all aspects of the game. I will continue to recommend Lee to any keen young keeper who's looking to improve.

My son Peter has been training with Lee for about three and a half years now, his goal keeping has come on in leaps and bounds, what I like about lee's sessions it is all way different and he coaches in a way that the keepers are in a game related situation and the nice thing is that he cares about how the keepers develop, peter is playing for his local under 18 team and has had a few games for the men's side not bad for a sixteen year old, keep up the good work Lee.

My sons been with Lee approximately 2 years. In this time his ability and technique has improved undoubtedly with many a flattering comment flying his way from opposing clubs and also requests to join. Not only the above but condidence and self belief has improved no end. Lee is always available to discuss your child if required.

My son has been at Lee's Academy for just a few weeks and we have seen a significant improvement in his game not just from an ability point of you but confidence too. He is a much more assured keeper now. The training at the academy is very professional and there is lots of variety which keeps it interesting. Lee has a great way with the keepers, he keeps them focused and disciplined but always makes it fun and enjoyable too.

I joined semi professional side colney heath at 15 years old to play in there u16 side in the eastern junior alliance league, lee was the goalkeeper coach. I was a rough dimond at the time i could make great saves in a game and then i would let myself down on with silly mistakes. Lee taught me technicks that pushed me on so much that i was offerd 2 years with Wycombe wanderers his enthusiasm knowledge for goalkeeping is unmatched. I have trained with quiet a few keeper coches, some at professional clubs and lee is head and shoulders above all of them. If you want to progress at any level then being coach by lee harper should be your number 1 choice.

Lee has coached my son Freddie for about three years and his improvement has been huge which is all down to Lee. Lee teaches the correct techniques and these help the keepers to develop their confidence which is evident during matches. He creates a great atmosphere at the training sessions and all of the keepers fully respect him and are 100% there to learn. I have and will continue to recommend Lee to anyone.

My son Tom has been coached by Lee for 4 years now and has developed immensely under his coaching.methods. Lee teaches what needs to be learned to deal with match day situations rather than just running around cones and jumping over hurdles like many coaches teach. Over the years Lee's training has got him noticed by scouts as he has had trials at Luton Town, Northampton Town, Barnet and Cambridge United, he was offered "shadow squad" at all of them but chose to stay with Lee as his coaching is better than what was on offer at those clubs and is confident that he has made the right choice as we are aware that a number clubs are looking at him. Tom is at Semi pro club St NeotsTown FC who play in the Evo Stick Southern Premier League at present.

My son James has been training with Lee for a number of years and thoroughly enjoys the sessions. Lee instils confidence in the youngsters and helps them develop routines through fun and competitive tasks. All the young goalies that attend Lee's sessions have made significant progress. I thoroughly recommend Lee Harper Goalkeeper training for any youngster keen to improve as a goalkeeper.

Mike Ward - 3:57 PM on January 18, 2018  by wardym104@hotmail.com 

My son is only 6 years old and new to goalkeeping. Lee and his well-organised team have made him feel part of the setup and already taught him some good basic skills in a short space of time. I would highly recommend Lee Harper Goalkeeper training.

I started with Lee age 11 when i was playing for my local side Silverstone Racers. Within 2 years with Lee's training I was picked up by Luton Town at the age of 13. I started in the centre of excellence and within 2 months i was into the academy with the help of Lee. His training provides match day scenario's as well as developing technique through every aspect of goalkeeping. When i started with Lee i could not use my left foot however with his help over the course of a couple of years we got it to the standard it needed to be. I currently play for Brackley Town. Thoroughly recommend Lee's training.

My son, Jason, first started goalkeeper training with Lee 6 years ago. He spent approximately 2 years with Lee before being picked up by Northampton Town FC Development Team and received Manager's Player of the Year in his first season. The following season he went on to the Elite Team and spent 2 and a half years there before leaving to join the top youth football team in the County, Corby Diamonds, which also meant he could go back to train with Lee and has now been back with him for the last 2 years. Since being back with Lee Jason has, with Corby Diamonds, won the treble the last two seasons and it is only with thanks to Lee for getting him back to his best. Jason has also been helping Lee with the young keepers training sessions which has been giving him the benefit of Lee's expertise. Jason has recently joined Corby Town FC Academy U16s and has been man of the match on 3 occasions this season and received very positive comments from opposing team's managers with regards to his goalkeeping ability. Jason has played for Corby Town FC U18s and regularly trains with the first team. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone looking for top goalkeeper coaching from someone who has had many years of experience between the sticks at all levels. Lee is very approachable and is always willing to help, give advice and pass on his wealth of experience to young keepers.

Lee delivers the best goalkeeping sessions around. His enthusiasm and passion for the game is passed onto his pupils encouraging them to develop and progress within the sport. More importantly everyone enjoys it!

Paul Wyant - 5:04 AM on January 4, 2018  by p.wyant@sky.com

My son Jacob Wood (Woody) is now 17 and has been with Lee for the last 7 years. There have been all the usual ups and downs with trials at Brentford, Leicester,and MK Dons, not quite working out, however Lee was always there to carry on teaching not only the physical skills but also how to cope with the mental challenges. Woody is now in demand locally playing semi-pro for Olney Town, U21 for Kettering Town, First team Academy at Moulton College and U18 for Willen. Whenever Woody has a big match I ask him how he is feeling, he always feels confident because he has learnt the correct technique which is purely down to Lee.

David Wood - 4:26 PM on January 3, 2018  by cjg630@gmail.com

My now 10 year old son has been recieving coaching from Lee for 1 1/2 years and has grown in confidence 10 fold - in fact seeing the change from a shy/meek child to a confident individual who excels under pressure in what's probably the most difficult position on pitch. He is also recieving lots of attention from scouts at several well known clubs. I thourouly believe a big percentage of growth, improvement, confidence and technical understanding has come from Mr Harpers coaching.

ARON CHAMBERS -  11:45 AM on January 2, 2018  by samazzben@googlemail.com

My son Tommy has been attending Lee's coaching sessions for around 3 years and he has progressed immensely. No Two sessions are the same. Lee teaches the boys discipline and respect whilst also having fun. Tommy enjoys the sessions as Lee teaches real life situations the boys face on match days. Tommy is currently signed on playing under18 and under 23 football for a semi professional club in London and he is still only 15 years old. None of which would have been possible without Lee's expertise and knowledge.

My son Tom is 11. He started playing football aged 8. He set out to be a goalkeeper. Tim Howard was his hero. My wife and I decided to source some professional goalkeeper coaching and we were lucky enough that Lee ran an academy in Northampton. I remember my opening words to Lee, I said "your goal is to get him into Everton's first team". He replied, "I can do better than that, I'll get him into Arsenal's" My son Tom has progressed at an astonishing rate and has since been coached by coaches from Northampton Town and Leicester City. I truly believe that it was Lee that set Tom on his way. He has instilled basic disciplines that will remain with Tom forever. As his first coach, Lee's influence on Tom is noticeable. Other coaches always comment on how natural he looks in goal, the way he moves, the way he catches the ball. "He just looks like a goalkeeper" one coach commented. Whatever Tom achieves in his football, we will always be grateful to Lee. Lee's sessions are always professional, well structured, well disciplined and fun. Tom still looks forward to his sessions with Lee and he is very proud when Lee uses Tom as one of his now more "experienced" young keepers to demonstrate key skills. If you are a parent who is considering a coach for your son or daughter, I would have no hesitation in recommending Lee to you. - Colin Drury Northampton
