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 are aiming to open in September 2026. Apply to join now and we will be in touch to arrange a time to meet you as places open.
Where will training take place?
Training will be held at venues in London and the Southampton area. The exact venues will be confirmed at launch.
Who is GK+ for?
Young goalkeepers from U6 to U18 who want coaching made just for keepers. One goalkeeper pathway, open to girls and boys.
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.
What happens after I apply?
Applying starts a goalkeeper member account, held pending until we meet you. We get in touch as places open, and families who have applied are the first we contact. Every place is confirmed in person at the centre. Nearer to launch we will share the practical details, like session times, group sizes and format, so you can decide with the full picture.
Do you take payments yet?
Not yet. Applying costs nothing, and no place is reserved until we confirm it in person. We will explain fees, times and how to join before we open.
Apply to join for September 2026
