FRED Barber, one of the most respected goalkeeping coaches in the business, is offering aspiring young local keepers the value of his vast experience and knowledge.

The Wanderers' coach, who has seen scores of past pupils secure places on the schools of excellence at a number of professional clubs, is running the latest of his goalkeeping schools at Hayward Leisure Centre.

The sessions are held on Mondays (7-8pm) and are open to youngsters from seven to 17.

Barber is also holding a residential weekend for young keepers at Stafford University's Stoke campus (August 4-7) with a residential course similar to his successful Professional Week for non-league keepers at the Stafford campus, on July 5 and 6.

Details of all the courses are available on 01630 673937.
