Hi Folks

Hope all’s good with everyone.

Just came across this site—big shoutout to

@Ray Newland

for putting together such a brilliant community for keepers.

I'm originally from Newcastle, but I’ve been in the States since coming over 30+ years ago to play college soccer. What started as a shot at being a student-athlete ended up being my whole life! I played, then spent two decades coaching Division 1 college soccer, so I’ve seen the game in the US from all sides.

These days, I run an ECNL youth club in Connecticut and a recruiting company that helps young players figure out the whole college soccer maze. It can get tricky sometimes, but it’s seriously worth it. Just last week, an Aussie keeper I work with signed with D1 powerhouse Purdue University, which was pretty awesome to see!

I love to see young players chase down their dreams. I know there are loads of questions about this whole recruiting thing—for you and your families. If you’ve got anything you want to know about getting recruited as a keeper in the States, drop it in the comments below.

Happy to help however I can—just ask away!

Cheers

Steve
