We realise it can be difficult for a goalkeeper to be spotted, and we wanted to give our goalkeepers more opportunities. We have since opened it to all goalkeepers and built great relationships with professional clubs. Since the inception of our trial days two years ago, we've been instrumental in turning the dreams of numerous goalkeepers into reality. Three goalkeepers have been signed by Brighton, two each by Hull City and Reading, and one each by Portsmouth, Barnsley, Bristol City and Oxford United after being spotted at our trial days. The most recent one, Nottingham Forest signed Charlie in October after getting spotted on our trial day. Three of these goalkeepers, like Zach, have been called up to the England setup since signing. One keeper secured a scholarship at Colchester United, and Chelsea Ladies signed a girl after being identified at our trial days. These success stories are a testament to the opportunities we provide, even for those who might have thought their chance had gone. All your child might need this opportunity, and they’ll have a great time doing it! On the trial day, your child can showcase their talent and have lots of fun doing it. Plus, experience playing at some fantastic facilities. What have you got to lose? Sells Pro Training will provide a link between the professional and grassroots game, creating opportunities for students to meet and train with top professional keepers. We will be the first steps in developing the goalkeepers of the future with the aim of creating pathways for other students into coaching, scholarships or a high level of football. Via our close links to the professional game, our goalkeepers will be given a chance to be seen by top clubs. • Professional facilities • Proven results • Professional coaching • Direct contact with professional football clubs • Showcase sessions designed to help you shine • Friendly approach to the day • Feedback to help you develop Premier League Academy Goalkeeping Coach“Having attended Sells residential camps and sessions, I have been very impressed with the level of quality coaching the young goalkeepers receive, as well as the environment which supports learning and enjoyment.“The content of the sessions not only challenges the goalkeepers but also replicates the demands of the modern game.“The attention to detail on all aspects of the camp was tremendous.“The care and support provided for each young goalkeepers, on both a personal and goalkeeping level were second to none.” Under 23 Championship Goalkeeper Coach“Kids smiling and having fun is always the first thing I think of after attending Matt and his team’s events.“The facilities sourced are top class, and the content and learning that goes on is my opinion is excellent.“The environment they create together, with the care and effort they all put into each child is admirable, and I always look forward to attending their events.” Championship Academy Goalkeeping Coach“I just wanted to say a big thank you for having me last night.“It was great to see so many goalkeepers and chat to all the staff, and it looked a fantastic operation.“To see so many goalkeepers flying around as they were shows what a great job you guys are doing!” Information Source: Sells Pro Training | eventbrite
