Goalkeepers only · Southampton area
Your keeper, coached like a number one.
GK+ is a small goalkeeping academy in the Southampton area, built around one idea: your child deserves coaching made only for keepers — not something a team session squeezes in at the end.
We are aiming to open in September 2026 — apply to join and you will be among the first we contact as places open.
The pathway
One goalkeeper pathway, U6 to U17
One pathway, two phases — from a child’s first minutes in goal to a teenager reading the game. Opening September 2026.
Open to girls and boys, women and men — every keeper is welcome here.
- U6–U12
Foundation
Where a young keeper falls in love with the position — safe hands, quick feet, and the confidence to own their goal.
- U13–U17
Development
Where a shot-stopper becomes a goalkeeper — sharper decisions, both feet, and the composure to read a game as it unfolds.
How it’s built
More than a training session
Your child does not just turn up and take shots. Every keeper gets a plan, physical development built in, a learning block before training and honest feedback that goes home — an environment, not a drop-in.

The season
A season paced for growth
Three terms across 37 weeks, with regeneration weeks at the half-terms and games nights before the main breaks — recovery is built in, so keepers stay fresh.
The GK+ way
A different breed of goalkeeper
Goalkeeping is its own sport inside the game. We coach keepers like keepers — handling, footwork, shot-stopping, distribution and the split-second decisions outfield sessions never train — so your child grows into a number one, not an afterthought.
Our academy
Built by goalkeeping specialists
GK+ is a dedicated goalkeeper academy — we coach keepers, and only keepers. Where a mixed session sends the goalkeeper to the side to shoot at, we build everything around them: the technique, the decisions and the confidence the position demands. The academy is owner-led, run by experienced goalkeeping and performance coaches.
