About
Sometime in the 2000’s the two David’s established SOS to address the need for Goalkeeping instruction back on their native island of Ireland. Dave Harte generally became very busy being the best GK in the world (certified 2 x FIH GK of the year!) and David Williamson (not the best GK in the world) transitioned permanently to the USA where SOS continued underground… Until now.

Being a Goalkeeper can be a lonely and under appreciated position..
