There's a special bonus for goalkeepers attending the soccer courses being run by Sportacular at Westcliff High School during the Easter and Summer school holidays.

For one of the world's top stoppers from the past couple of decades, former Welsh international Neville Southall MBE, will be giving his expertise to the custodians of tomorrow.

Southall, a European, League and FA Cup winner with Everton, will cover positional play, distribution, angles, shot-stopping and crossing during the courses.

On the soccer side, including goalkeeping, teams booking seven or more players will receive a 10 per cent reduction on the £58 fee for four-day courses during Easter. They run from March 25-28 and April 2-5. Five-day prices in the summer are £68.

Courses run from 10am-4pm daily but there are early start/late finish facilities available for working families allowing children to be supervised from 8.30am-5pm.

All courses go ahead at Westcliff High School in Kenilworth Gardens, Westcliff.

Ages covered are five to 14 years. T shirts are available for £5 and all courses can be booked with a deposit of £28 per child per week.

Call director Kurt Davies on 07776 434169 from 4-8pm Mondays to Fridays to recive full details and book places.
