The Nationals - Summer 2027

The Nationals - Summer 2027

Sunday 1st - Sunday 8th August 2027

THE UK'S BIGGEST GK CAMP IS BACK! 🔥 

For goalkeepers of all abilities aged 8–16, boys and girls, The Nationals Summer Camp is back for another unforgettable summer!

After another incredible year, The Nationals has established itself as one of Europe's leading specialist goalkeeper camps, bringing together young keepers from across the UK and around the world to train, learn and compete in a truly professional environment.

Whether you're aiming for academy football, grassroots excellence or simply want to become the best goalkeeper you can be, this is where your next level begins.


Trusted by Goalkeepers globally...

Each year, goalkeepers travel from across the globe to experience The Nationals. Our 2026 camp welcomed goalkeepers from over 25 countries and we love to celebrate their traditions and cultures during our closing ceremony!

The Nationals has become much more than a summer camp. It's a place where goalkeepers are challenged, inspired and given the tools to improve both on and off the pitch.


Train With the Best in the Game

Our coaching team is stacked with experience from the Premier League, EFL, National League, Women's Super League, and more.

From academy pathway insight to top-tier match realism, you’ll be mentored by people who’ve been there, done it, and are ready to help you do it too.

This is real development! Not just drills, but decision-making, resilience, and leadership.


Beyond the Gloves: Education & Analysis

What sets The Nationals apart? We don’t stop at shot-stopping.

You'll get access to classroom-based learning, including:

  • Workshops on mindset
  • goal-setting
  • injury prevention
  • Q&As with guest pros who’ve walked the walk

The Nationals Summer Camp is not just a training camp... it’s an elite goalkeeper experience built to challenge, inspire, and transform the next generation of shot-stoppers.

We’re not just building goalkeepers — we’re developing goalkeeping athletes.

I'm worried about my child staying overnight

Since starting The Nationals in 2022, we've seen many young children have concerns & worries on day 1, with parents deciding to stay locally overnight just incase they get the call! We're proud that so far, every child has stayed the night, and by night 2 are absolutely loving the experience away from parents! For some, it's a huge milestone and achievement, and we make sure we recognise that. Many of the younger kids come away with a sense of pride and added confidence which is incredible to see.

If you're still worried, contact us and we'll be happy to answer any other questions to ease your concerns

What is the booking process?

When booking a place on The Nationals, you will be asked to complete a few key details before adding to your cart.

Here, you'll be asked any key information about your child, like allergies, disabilities, emergency contact number etc.

There is also the opportunity to write any additional information we should know about the attendee. Feel free to reach out to info@thenationals.co.uk for any questions or requests

What is the accommodation like?

Room requests

Rooms are a mixture of sizes and spaces are limited, so we cannot guarantee any room preferences that are expressed before/after booking. We ensure that keepers are roomed together in the most appropriate way.

Please submit any room requests to info@thenationals.co.uk. You also have the chance to do this when buying your camp in the additional information box.

How will different abilities be split?

We're passionate about providing an incredible coaching experience, so we'll always ensure groups sizes are kept small, with a coach:player ratio between 1:8-12.

Initially, we'll split these by age groups. However we're vigilant during the first few sessions to move players around to ensure they get the maximum benefit over the camp by matching their ability to the correct group.

Can Parents watch sessions?

In line with safeguarding policies and the guidance provided by the school, we’re advised to limit the times in which parents are able to stay on school site to ensure a safe and secure environment for all GKs throughout our event, as well as others on site.

Therefore, spectators are not allowed on school site during the camp. However, we would love to welcome you on the final morning from 10:30am for the final session and our closing ceremony at 12:30pm.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to see what the children have been working on and to celebrate everything they’ve achieved together!
