Let customers speak for us
from 21 reviewsFantastic experience for our son. Would recommend to everyone who is a keen goalkeeper.
I just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic goalkeeping camp. Jude came away really inspired and full of enthusiasm. He loved the training style and the mix of technical work, mindset development, and leadership focus. The camp has clearly made an impact, he’s applied what he learned straight away, producing two strong performances at his club, earning Player of the Match in one, and showing real resilience in the other. He’s also due to start one-to-one sessions with Tommy Forecast and is keen to support the younger goalkeepers at our club, which really reflects the confidence and motivation he’s gained from the experience. Thanks again for the time, energy, and encouragement you gave the players. It was a brilliant few days and hugely beneficial for Jude.
Martin is a top coach and Riley has learnt alot, not just about being a GK but about being a 11yo lad. Martin is very professional and gets the best out of the GK and helps them, we will return next year.
Excellent, professional, well organised elite camp, communication has been transparent throughout. It was our first professional goalkeeping camp and I was thoroughly impressed with Martin and his team. Martin explained everything really well throughout the workshops focusing especially on the importance of discipline. Wanted to give a special mention to Coach Tommy for his excellent support and encouraging Edi within the training sessions, (talking to him on his level, having a good cheeky laughter but is still professional). Can not recommend Martin and Coach team enough! They are all so friendly, but yet professional, and bring out the best in the kids who attend. See you next time!
Finley loved his days with the Nationals and his only disappointment was that I hadn't signed him up to stay residential as he was loving it so much he did not want to come home. It was very well organised with welcoming and professional staff, great coaching and the facilities were exceptional. We will be back :)
Exceptional- highly recommend! Seeing the confidence and technical training play out in matches post camp makes the attendance worth its weight in gold
Being someone who attended the camp himself, the experience was 1000% better than the year before. Facilities out of this world from accommodation to pitches to even a swimming pool. Being a part of gloveglu academy, this tops off everything ive attended in my time. Coaches that are best mates off the pitch. Housemates being your new buddies in hours. Its the best environment for every goalkeeper of all ages and ability. Luckily, I was selected to be a part of Forza Training equipment testing,GloveGlu media recordings. Best camp for anyone. Highly reccomend!!!
Great GK camp. My 11yr old came from New York and loved it. Learnt some new things he has just used at his academy training
The Haileybury College is a fantastic base with impressive facilities. The House Masters settled our nervous child and reassured us that all was well. The coaches were positive, fun and encouraging. It was a privilege to be able to watch my son doing what he loved, in a safe and supportive environment. He had the best time and had come away with an improved holistic view of goalkeeping and wants to do the week next year!
We were a little apprehensive of how he would be, being away from home for a whole week but this didn't phase him one bit.
He would tell us every evening what he did that day, the friends he's made, the food he was eating then before we had chance to ask him another question he would shout bye, I'm going now to be with my mates.
Obviously we sent him for goalkeeper training with top coaches to help him improve and we've already seen those improvements in the short time he's been away from the camp, but above all else the interactions he's had with people from various countries and friendships he has made have made the nationals not just about goalkeeping but a camp that have taught him many more life lessons which he can take forward.
Thank you!
our Son has had an amazing time and experience. We highly recommend 👌
I could see my young goalie growing in confidence as the event went on and he’s been talking about it ever since. The coaches were excellent and the venue was perfect. We were really looking forward to it and it exceeded our expectations.
I was very confident as a parent that the cost was reflective of the camp, from the organisation to the facilities and the excellent quality of the coaching that my son experienced. I was also pleased that he got to widen his experiences by training along side boys and girls from across the country and the world. He was very lucky indeed to have such a high quality experience on our doorstep.
As a new goalkeeper who only started playing the sport 12 months ago, Liv has truly found her passion and is eager to learn and grow. The Nationals Camp exceeded our expectations. Liv came home filled with enthusiasm, and her improvement was clearly visible. We had the opportunity to watch her, and it was amazing to see how much her confidence had grown in just one week. She was proud to share everything she learned with us. Unfortunately, Liv sustained an injury during the camp. However, the training was promptly adapted to accommodate her needs, allowing her to continue participating. We were kept fully informed and updated about her condition, which we greatly appreciated. In addition to the excellent training, Liv made new friends from all over the world. She is already planning to attend next year's camp, and i couldn't be more pleased with the positive impact this experience has had on her. Thank you to the entire Nationals Camp team for providing such a supportive and enriching environment. We highly recommend this camp to anyone looking to improve their skills and make lasting memories.

My son absolutely loved this in 2022. He did the residential which I was nervous about. No need to worry though Martin and his Team looked after him so well. We booked again in 2023 & 2024!

I think I've improved my concentration as a Goalkeeper during this camp. The good thing is that every coach has something different to teach you and offer you! So every session and drill is different and has a different focus

It gives you so much perspective on goalkeeper training. The intensity of training is so much higher here than where I'm from in USA. The best part for me is that you learn so much more about football whilst in the UK, the football culture & the ex-professional coaches are a great experience.
