HANDS ON: Coach Mark Harrison (left) lines up with youngsters on the goalkeeping course

Former Oxford United coach Mark Harrison is setting up a unique goalkeeper coaching scheme in Oxfordshire and surrounding areas.

It's for children aged from six to 16 and is being launched this week.

Under the Just4keepers franchise, the first venues will be at Abingdon United and Cirencester Town.

But Harrison, who used to be the Oxford United goalkeeping coach and was No 2 to manager Malcolm Shotton at United a decade ago, also plans to hold the regular courses at Banbury, Witney and possibly in the Newbury area.

He said: "Just4keepers is an international goalkeeping coaching set-up, all using ex-professional goalkeepers.

"The coaching offered will be as good as anything available at any academy and, of course, it's totally goalkeeper-specific.

"Everybody I speak to says there's an absence of specialised goalkeeper coaching in Oxfordshire so hopefully we're filling that void."

Simon Tricker, the ex-Banbury United and Abingdon United goalkeeper, will be assisting Harrison.

"There's going to be limited spaces, just 20-30 kids, so anybody interested should get in touch as soon as possible, said Harrison.

He can be contacted on 01993 868637.
