Question 3

What are the professional clubs looking for?

Accepted Answer

Clubs are not looking for the finished article; they are looking at potential and somebody they can develop. We put on drills that allow your child to showcase their talent. Also, clubs will sometimes track kids, so even though they might not be quite ready now, they will monitor them.

Question 4

How many clubs attend?

Accepted Answer

We invite several clubs within an hour of the venue. We have close relationships with many Premier League and Football League goalkeeper departments, and they send their scouts to our events.  Clubs also contact us after the event if they can't attend, and we will pass on our recommendations.

Accepted Answer

Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Bournemouth, Bradford City, Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace,  Chelsea, Derby County, Fulham, Hull City, Leeds United, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth, Reading, Sheffield United,  Southampton and West Ham.

Question 6

What's the process if a club identifies a goalkeeper on the day?

Accepted Answer

Any goalkeepers that are identified on the day we contact the parents. We will pass their details on to the club if the parents allow it. The club will then contact the parents directly.

Question 7

What will a happen if they are identified?

Accepted Answer

The clubs may invite them into their development group, watch them play a match, or it might lead to a six-week trial with the club. They may get a 6-week trial after watching them or after a time in the development group.

Question 8

What ages is it for?

Accepted Answer

We take from Under 8s through to Under 18s.

Question 9

What age group do I book my child into?

Accepted Answer

For the current season, so 24/25. The age group changes with the school year. Don't worry; all the clubs will have the date of birth, even if you put them into the wrong age group. If your child plays a year up, put them in their age group rather than the one they currently play in.
