Southchurch keepers are close to home with PL1 Goalkeeping Academy — our Eastwoodbury Lane base is around ten minutes north, on the airport side of the borough.
Built around Southchurch Park's boating lake and the medieval Southchurch Hall, this is a settled, family east-Southend neighbourhood with plenty of weekend footballers. Their goalkeepers get the games; PL1 gives them the coaching to go with them.
We turn keen local number ones into confident, technically sound goalkeepers, in an outdoor all-weather setup a few minutes from Southchurch. Since 2018, PL1's UEFA/FA-qualified coaches have helped 25 keepers reach professional academies — starting, for many, with a free trial.
Group Academy training, the elite PRO stream, 1-to-1 coaching and a free taster — open to Southchurch 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.
Sessions run Monday, Wednesday and Friday — outdoors, all-weather, all year round. Get in touch to book a taster, or read up first:
