Goalkeeper Coaching Built for Performance

Matt Gilks is a former professional football goalkeeper and elite-level goalkeeper coach with over 20 years' experience in the professional game. Having played at every level of English football, including the Premier League, and represented Scotland internationally, he now applies that experience to developing goalkeepers of all ages.

Training is built on the belief that goalkeeping is a highly specialised position requiring tailored physical, technical and cognitive development, not adapted outfield sessions. Every programme reflects the real demands of the modern game.

Why Train with Matt Gilks

Choosing the right goalkeeper coach is about more than drills, it's about training with purpose, clarity and professional standards.

Professional Experience That Translates to Coaching

Training informed by Premier League and international football experience, applied practically at every session.

 

Goalkeeper-Specific Training

Every session is designed exclusively for goalkeepers, focusing on movement, reactions, decision-making and real match scenarios.

 

Integrated Development

Pitch work, gym-based performance training and cognitive development combined in one structured programme.

 

Small Groups, High-Quality Coaching

Limited group sizes ensure individual feedback, technical correction and meaningful progression.

 

Training Programmes

Group Goalkeeper Training

Structured group sessions delivered in small numbers, focused on technical ability, athletic development and decision-making.

One-to-One Goalkeeper Development

Individual sessions tailored to the goalkeeper’s age, ability and goals, including access to specialist performance and recovery equipment.

Performance & Development Focus

Sessions designed to support long-term development, confidence and consistency - not short-term results alone.

A Purpose-Built Goalkeeper Training Facility

Training takes place at a dedicated goalkeeper training facility in Shaw, Oldham. The environment has been designed specifically for goalkeeper development, combining pitch-based training, gym-based performance work and cognitive training under one roof.

This allows sessions to run consistently year-round in a professional, controlled setting that mirrors elite club environments.

Who Training Is For

  • Aspiring young goalkeepers
  • Grassroots and academy players
  • Competitive teenage goalkeepers
  • Older and advanced goalkeepers
  • Goalkeepers returning from injury

Training is adapted to the individual without compromising professional standards.

A Professional & Supportive Environment

Safeguarding, safety and structure are prioritised at all times. Sessions are delivered in a professional environment with clear expectations around behaviour, preparation and respect.

All goalkeepers must have a completed Medical Waiver & Consent Form on file before training.

What Players & Parents Say

The difference in confidence and understanding since training with Matt has been clear to see. Sessions are well structured, challenging and always focused on goalkeeping — not just generic drills. The professional environment and small group sizes make a huge difference, and the feedback is clear and constructive. As a parent, it’s reassuring to see such a strong focus on development, safety and standards.
