About GK+

Coaching built only for goalkeepers.

Our story

Built for keepers, by GK specialists

GK+ is a dedicated goalkeeper development centre where we coach keepers, and only keepers. We build everything around the individual: the technique, the decision-making, the physical development, and the confidence the position demands. The centre is multi-site, owner-led and run by experienced goalkeeping specialists and performance coaches.

Questions

The things parents ask us

When does GK+ open?

We have not set an opening date yet. Get in touch and we will keep you posted as places open.

Where will training take place?

Training will be held at venues in London and on the South Coast of the UK. The exact venues will be confirmed at launch.

Who is GK+ for?

Boys and girls from U6 to U18 who want coaching made just for goalkeepers. One structured pathway. We are not currently taking adult goalkeepers.

How do you keep children safe?

Safeguarding comes first. Our goalkeeping coaching is led by a DBS-checked coach who holds the FA's Safeguarding Children in Football certificate. We collect no dates of birth and no medical information, and any photo or video consent is recorded on a signed paper form held by the centre. Consent is never given through our platform, and a child can never self-consent there. A full safeguarding policy will be shared with registered families before we open.

Do you take payments yet?

Not yet. We will explain fees, times and how to join before we open.
