“Rich has been running the goalkeeping section for the Team Bath Buccaneers Junior Academy for the last two seasons. His coaching is of a very high standard and has been highlighted through feedback as a huge positive for the club. Our aspiring goalkeepers are given specific training appropriate to their ability and this has been key to their wider development, giving them the confidence and understanding to be effective members of their teams. Rich is a valuable member of the TBB Academy coaching team and his specialist goalkeeping knowledge has been a real asset as we continue to strive to deliver the best quality junior club coaching in the South West.”

“Rich Major gets the very best out of the goalkeepers he coaches by making the sessions fun but competitive. His assessments are very thorough and a full programme of exercises to improve the goalkeeper are produced. His technical expertise and eye for detail are excellent and he conveys what he sees to the goalkeeper in such a way you can see the improvement very quickly.

We would not hesitate to recommend Rich Major as a goalkeeping coach as we have seen our daughter develop immensely in the last year under his tutelage.”

““Thank you SO much for expertly coaching my son over the last three years. Thanks to your brilliant coaching you’ve helped him progress from through the Player Pathway.

Despite being only 15 he now has the confidence, enthusiasm and drive to play men’s hockey (2nd XI Summer League), County Hockey and School 1st XI.
You’ve helped him enormously with this - teaching him technical skills, communication, strategy, fitness and nutrition. You have even guided him fully in choosing the correct goalie kit which has increased his confidence enormously. Sessions with you have been absolutely brilliant. He’s always on a high after your coaching and
says that they are the high point of his week!

As a parent, I’ve noticed how well you interact with young people - keeping their attention, firing their enthusiasm, commanding their respect and teaching them so much.”

“Richard has been providing goalkeeper coaching for my daughter on a regular basis for several years and has always been extremely professional in his approach. He structures the training sessions according to the individual needs of his players and creates a two way discussion to encourage self-review in order to develop the physical skills together with the technical understanding.

My daughter has made progress through the Player Pathway with the support and encouragement of a great coach, who motivates and develops his keepers both on and off the pitch.”

“Our son has been coached by Richard for the last five years. Throughout that time, he has developed from a beginner goalkeeper to a Futures Cup athlete. He has also become more confident in his ability and his knowledge of the game. Without Richard, he would not be where he is today.”

“We have had several private and group GK sessions with Rich and Sophie over the last few years and will continue to do so. I can’t recommend them highly enough, whether you are starting out or looking for more advanced coaching. The tailored training is second to none and is definitely the reason why Max has progressed so well as a goalkeeper. Rich and Sophie combined have so much high level experience and this comes through in their coaching. They are both very knowledgable, supportive and encouraging and Max absolutely loves his sessions and comes away so enthused, motivated and asking for more!”
