Perfect for the Aspiring Shot Stopper!
Welcome to our Pro Player Goalkeeper Academy, where aspiring goalkeepers are given the unique opportunity to transform their dreams into reality. Unlike any other, this ultimate destination for shot stoppers seamlessly integrates goalkeepers into outfield academy training. The Academy's high-tempo, specialist programme challenges players to push their performance to new levels. We ensure players regularly engage in shooting drills and small-sided games alongside outfield players, enhancing their game awareness and sharpening their skills in authentic, real-game scenarios.
The program is meticulously designed, offering professional coaching and a structured system to develop modern-day goalkeepers. Coached by dedicated highly qualified professional or former professional goalkeepers players will gain unparalleled insights into the demands of this crucial position.
“My son Brandon's been at the academy from the start and absolutely loves it. The coaching is absolutely fantastic especially from his goalkeeper coach Mark Goodlad who shows nothing but support to all the boys. Brandon is now a signed GK for Barnsley fc academy thanks to all the help and support from Pro Player. I would recommend any young footballers to attend Pro Player Football Academy.”
- Lisa Harrison (Parent)
