Greg Lewis, founder
Your coach

Coached by a keeper who is still playing

Greg Lewis keeps goal for Sutton United and is an FA Level 2 qualified coach. From the age of 7 to 18 he came through the academies at Birmingham City and Burton Albion.

He has over six years of coaching experience across soccer schools, goalkeeper specific coaching, outfield technical sessions and full team coaching and management, so sessions are built on both sides of the game: playing it and teaching it.

The approach

Every player challenged three ways

The aim is to challenge every player mentally, physically and technically, so they keep developing, push beyond their comfort zone and go as far in the game as possible.

Technically. Touch, passing, striking and handling, repeated until it holds up under pressure in a game.

Physically. Speed, agility and strength work matched to the player’s age and stage, so they can keep up and keep going.

Mentally. Confidence, decision making and the habit of stepping outside the comfort zone, session after session.

Booking

Booking is simple

Every session needs to be booked in advance. Get in touch, agree a time and place, then get to work.

  2. Agree a time and place
