"Just4Keepers has been running successfully now for the past seven years; and over this time period we at J4K have produced more schoolboy goalkeepers than any of our top professional clubs."
Ray Newland - J4K Founder
Jay started his playing career as a Schoolboy at Southampton Football Club. He was then selected to play for Berkshire County Squad and the South West Regional Squad.
Like many young, promising goalkeepers, Jay battled with his height and was told that he might not be tall enough to make it as a professional goalkeeper. Determined to succeed Jay continued with his hard work and dedication.
At the age of 16 Jay's hard work paid off, by signing a professional apprenticeship contract for 2 years at Reading Football Club. While at Reading because questions were getting asked about his height he decided to also study. And while at Reading, he got qualifications that eventually lead to a degree in Physical Education and Sports Science at Loughborough University.
After getting released by Reading, Jay played at several non league clubs as their 1st team choice goalkeeper.
While playing semi Pro Jay also gained a 'Qualified Teacher Status' completing his Post Graduate Certificate in Education, passed his U.E.F.A 'B' coaching License and also went out to the USA as a goalkeeping coach for the most reputable coaching organisation in America. Jay has also coached goalkeepers at Loughborough's elite soccer schools.
Jay has been involved with coaching goalkeepers at Reading Academy, Reading Schools and County Squads since relocating to Dorset, and Jay`s busy coaching schedule is now taken up coaching young goalkeepers at local youth football teams to reach their full potential in Dorset and Hampshire.
Over the last five years Jay has been responsible for the development of an average of 100 students per week. And has helped several of his students actually play at professional clubs!
Jay now sees teaming up with Just4Keepers as adding that 'Specialist Touch' to his growing development centres. Jay not only prides himself on the level of coaching that he provides but also the facilities that he uses. All venues in Bournemouth, Weymouth and Southampton are on floodlit grass, providing your child with the best conditions in which to improve.
Jay works on the principle of having a positive mental attitude, determination and hard work in order to succeed.
