Keeper Training

 Allison was given the opportunity to attend weekly Goalkeeper Training with Pete Gregory several months ago.  Pete normally only coaches boys, but opened the clinics up to the Hawks keepers and since it began, he has selected Allison and Sabrina for even more training.  They now attend Tuesday and Wednesday nights and it has been such an awesome experience for Allison.
Pete makes them feel like they have the most important position on the field.  He just returned from another trip to England and brought each of them this cool Newcastle jersey and kit so they all match at training.  He helps create a very competitive environment, but loves to joke around and keep them on their toes.  Allison has now decided to become a full-time goalkeeper and we are grateful for the opportunity she has had this season with Pete and all of the goalkeepers!
