East Lancashire Goalkeeping Academy Reviews 

Jacob has been coming to ELGA since the beginning. He’d been to other local academies but ELGA has always been his favourite.
Since Jacobs began training there we’ve seen a massive improvement not only in his goalkeeping skills but also in his confidence and enjoyment in the game.
The coaches know the children well and the training sessions are challenging but also fun, kill the coach at the end of the holiday camps is always a favourite!

The 1 to 1 training Evie Mac received was the best training she has done. Evie was nervous at the start of doing it due to her not knowing the coach but this soon dwindled as Stuart made her feel welcome and pushed her to the best of her ability making the session fun and challenging. Evie can't wait for more sessions in the future❤️ ⚽️❤️

My son has been a keeper since the age of 6. As he heads into U10's we have found East Lancashire Goalkeeper Academy, what a difference in only a few weeks.
The guys have been great, different training methods every week and a real dedication to the keepers who train with them. The confidence they instill into the keepers is incredible and always positive.
The communication with parents is great. We couldn't recommend these guys enough, really wish we had found them sooner.

Fantastic, knowledgeable and approachable coaches that really do bring out the best in young Goal keepers. My girls both love the sessions and the holiday camps. They made so much progress in a short space of time and were scouted for an Emerging Talent Centre. Can't recommend highly enough!

Being an U7 coach i find it difficult with the time i have with the team for dedicated goalkeeper training for my son.

ELGA has been great, helping my son slowly build up confidence with his diving, positioning and with him being 6, just learning how to be a goalkeepr. Most important, he has fun doing this.

The coaches are friendly, patient and knowledgable. They show the lads the errors they make and how to correct them and also give praise when they get the drills right.

The location is great and the equipment they use is provides good sessions.

I have picked up some good drills from watching the sessions which i intend to use with my own lads, thats how highly i rate this Acadmey.

Keep up the good work lads,

Cheers

My son has attended for 8 months now and the difference in him is unreal. His attitude, discipline and performance just keeps getting better and better and that’s down to the wonderful coaches. He loves the session, the coaches make it fun as well as challenging. I can’t wait to see what he’s like this time next year. If you’re looking for goal keeper coaching then I would highly recommend you join and become part of this family.

I’ve known both Graeme and Stuart for a good number of years now and there are no better lads to coach goalkeeping to your children. They are A+++👌🏼

Best people, best coaching! I recommend ELGA to anyone with an aspiring goalkeeper you won’t find a better and more dedicated team anywhere. My son credits ELGA for helping him get into the school and district teams. Their support for the kids and their keeping is outstanding.

There is no words that can describe how amazing these coaches are,
I have a 8year old lad who has been attending now for around 18months, which for my son to still look forward to coming is amazing. My son struggles a lot with his attention but coming here has helped him improve massively on both his skill and his attention and attitude,
We have tried out a few different GK courses/camps and within a few weeks my son becomes unhappy and not willing to attend but these coaches are one of a kind they keep the sessions fun exciting whilst learning all the children

My son loves the weekly sessions and half term camps. Working with the ELGA team has really improved his confidence and given him new skills to take into his weekly games.

The guys at ELGA are great, they not only teach the kids great skills and technique but they make it fun at the same time.
My son has loved his weekly sessions and the half term camps he's attended.
Highly recommend them.

Fantastic goalkeeper training for any aspiring goalkeeper who is eager and enthusiastic to learn and develop their skills. First class, friendly and fun training in small groups by experienced, knowledgeable keepers. My son loved his time at this academy 💯 and even though he is now 16 he still has 1-2-1 sessions with one of the coaches

Crossy has been amazing! This is the first time my lad has ever gone to any sort of activity, and he absolutely loves it - thanks to Crossy. He’s fair and makes sure everyone has a great time, whilst also keeping them engaged 👏🏼

What a fantastic experience for my 13 year old goalkeeper daughter! We travelled from an hour away for the October half-term camp and were instantly made to feel so welcome. The coaches were really friendly and knowledgeable but more importantly, their upper most concern was that my daughter would be in a group where she would feel comfortable and enjoy her experience. Their dedication and passion for what they do really shone through. My daughter really enjoyed all the drills and activities and feels like the camp has really improved her skills. It was also great for her to spend time with other goalkeepers. Would highly recommend - thank you so much!

My U9 son has been goal keeping for 10 months now. I initially trained him myself from YouTube videos and casting my mind back 30 years when I dabbled in high school. 2 months ago I discovered ELGA and we haven't looked back. Firstly, and most importantly, my son absolutely loves it. He he never bored, he has made little friends, and he loves the coaching he receives. Secondly, his skills are building rapidly. My boy plays in the Accrington U9 league and has won player of the match 3 times due to his clear impact on the team. Highly recommend ELGA to both build your child's skills and develop them socially.

My daughter loves the ELGA. She was made to feel welcome from day one. She’s gained lots of knowledge and continues to improve her skills. would recommend to anyone.
