Just4Keepers South West Goalkeeping School is pleased to announce they will be starting a new weekly session at Ashton Park, Bristol from Monday 7^th May 6pm-7pm

Just4Keepers South West runs specialised weekly Goalkeeper training sessions throughout the South West for boys and girls aged six and upwards. Weekly training is designed to meet Goalkeepers’ individual needs to help them become the best keeper that they can be.

Training is in a FUN environment…with NO PRESSURE on the goalkeepers!

Just4Keepers South West is run by James Cope. James played for the Bristol City Football Club Academy and then youth team for 8 years, during which time he played over 200 games. At Bristol City James was trained by the best coaches including former first team Goalkeeper Coach, Stuart Naylor, First Team keeper Billy Mercer amongst many others. James has an FA Level 2 Coaching Certificate and the FA Age Appropriate Certificate along with being enhanced CRB checked, First Aid Qualified and fully insured. James set up Just4Keepers South West just over a year ago and now coaches more than 80 goalkeepers on a weekly basis along with highly attended holiday courses. James also coaches at a number of schools in North Somerset and has been the Goalkeeper coach for both the North Somerset and Banes Junior Development squads. All the goalkeeping exercises and techniques that James teaches were learnt from 8 years valuable experience at a top professional club.

Sessions will also be taken by former Torquay United and Plymouth Argyle Professional Martin Horsell. He played for the Argyle Youth sides and while attending Plymouth College was selected for the British Colleges side. He left Plymouth in 2004 and moved to the Bristol Academy of Sport at Filton College. Soon after he was selected to play for the Bristol Rovers under-18 side and in October 2004 was signed by Rovers manager Ian Atkins on non-contract terms as cover for Kevin Miller. He signed a professional contract with Rovers for the 2005–06 season. In July 2006, after his release by Rovers he signed for Torquay United. He made his full debut in the next game, a 1–0 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Macclesfield Town in which he was given the Man of the Match Award. With Torquay relegated to the Conference National at the end of the season, Martin was offered a new contract. However, with the signing of Simon Raynerand, Martin chose to seek a move back to league football. He began the 2007–08 season with Yate Town, signing an initial one-month contract with Conference National side Salisbury City in late September 2007. On 29 January 2008 he signed for Conference South side Dorchester Town. At the start of the 2010/11 season he is playing for Weymouth F.C.
