Hadleigh keepers travel east to PL1 Goalkeeping Academy on Eastwoodbury Lane — around twenty minutes from the castle and the town centre, over towards Southend Airport.
Hadleigh is Castle Point's outdoor heart: Hadleigh Castle above the marshes and Hadleigh Park, the London 2012 Olympic mountain-bike venue, on the doorstep. It is an active, sporty town whose goalkeepers deserve coaching as serious as the setting.
PL1 gives Hadleigh's number ones specialist, position-only sessions and a clear development pathway — the focused work an outfield-led club training night cannot offer. Since 2018 our UEFA/FA-qualified coaches have put 25 keepers into professional academies.
Group Academy training, the elite PRO stream, 1-to-1 coaching and a free taster — open to Hadleigh keepers of every age and ability.
A variety of programmes and training sessions for goalkeepers of all ages and abilities, hosted in Southend, Essex. Core technique, decision-making and game understanding, built session by session.
A unique opportunity for elite goalkeepers who have the desire to work towards academy-based football — higher intensity and individualised development.
Focused individual sessions tailored to a single keeper's goals, with detailed feedback and a personal development plan.
Book a free taster session, meet the coaches and experience the PL1 method first-hand before you commit.
Our holiday camps are open to outfield players as well as keepers — every age, every ability. They run at the academy on Eastwoodbury Lane, about 20 minutes from Hadleigh, 10am–3pm. Drop in for one date or come to them all.
