Nick Lewis has agreed to run regular GK training sessions for junior keepers in Shropshire in collaboration with LHC. Once a half term, on a Sunday, he will run a  2 hour session at our training pitch at Moor Park School.
The cost will be between £12-15 per session.  He has also offered to do a training session near the end of August.  No times and dates have been fixed yet as pitch availability is to be confirmed . He can only take a max of 8 players at a time but we will run two sessions on the same day divided by age and ability.
