The Nationals - Summer 2026

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.

Great camp with professional keeper training.

An absolute game changer of a camp for any goalkeeper. Surrounded by her peers and an amazing rosta of professional gks and coaches, my daughter has come away full of knowledge, new skills and areas to develop and improve upon. My daughter got into the car after the week camp and immediately asked to sign up to come again next year! Great camp, great coaches and gk friends made for life!

Thank you to all the staff who put this event on. It is massive and I fully appreciate for it to run as smoothly as it did, the work which we do not see behind the scenes must be tremendous. So thank you for all this hard work. From a safeguarding point of view, I could also see this was a top priority, which again, is so important. Thank you for taking this into such consideration - it was clear to see your high standards. I also recognise, having children overnight, is such a huge responsibility, worry and incredibly tiring. Thank you for taking this responsibility on and I hope once you all have some downtime, you are able to reflect positively and see the benefit of running such a camp. For young budding, enthusiastic goalies, a standard football camp does not really hone in on the children's passions - this one did and it had made a young man very happy indeed. Once again, thank you and we hope to you again next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed The Nationals as a weekend participant. Our son learnt a lot and gained new friends from the weekend.

It was very well organised with top level coaching, fun, great facilities and delicious food. Although he was worried going to Nationals not knowing anyone, he felt welcomed from the the first moments there and made friends that he is hoping to see again at Nationals 25.10 out of 10!

He is a football fanatic and loves goalkeeping. The whole immersive experience and interaction between organisers, attendee and the coaches was first class. Mum and I enjoyed visiting the social media updates each evening to see the odd image of our son with a big grin and the amazing sessions and fun he had. The Nationals are a 10/10 from us.

He enjoyed football training provided, food was good, accommodation greatly organised, he loved meeting new people, celebrities too!!! and he learned a lot from week there!!! Still talking about his experience now - 3 days later and i am sure be talking when be back to school!! For sure he want to be back next year. And I don't blame him. Venue is just spectacular!!! I could not imagine anything else that could be better!! Hearing what he say, your coaches were amazing too, taking into account that Erik with his none stop talking, they were very friendly funny and patient. Brilliant time he had!!! Erik got younger brother who is also GK, he also want to be signed up for next year, he be 10 later this year, but what he heard, it's very save, with lots of support from coaches and well organised, so he feel confident to join next year too. Thank you very much. Best residential we ever had! ⚽️⚽️It also was very nice to meet Roy Caroll and seeing again Hans Segers!!! would highly recommend to any GK!
