Frequently asked questions

Who is your coaching aimed at?

We work with all ages and abilities, from new and returning keepers learning the basics to developing juniors and adult National League goalkeepers.

Do I need my own kit?

All goalkeepers must arrive with their own full protective kit, which must be in safe, serviceable working order. As a minimum, goalkeepers are required to wear; helmet, chest protector, hand protectors, protective shorts, abdomen guard, leg guards, and kickers.

Whilst an individual choice, 617 Goalies strongly recommends the use of arm and elbow protection and a throat guard to reduce the risk of injury. 617 Goalies accepts no responsibility or liability for injuries arising from a goalkeeper’s equipment choices, condition of equipment, or failure to wear appropriate protective items.

If you are new to the position or unsure what kit you need, we are happy to offer guidance before your session. Whilst coaches may have their own preferences/sponsorships, 617 Goalies does not promote any specific brand.

How much does it cost?

Pricing varies depending on the type of session, but all options are designed to be affordable and accessible for schools, clubs, and families. Full details are listed on each service page, and we aim to keep specialist goalkeeper coaching within reach for every player, club and school.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions are usually delivered at your club, school, or a local pitch arranged by you. We are in the process of arranging a regular location to hold 1:1 coaching sessions.

Are you qualified and insured?

Yes - all coaching is delivered by a GB Hockey‑qualified coach holding current Coach Membership, which includes £10m Public Liability, Professional Indemnity, Personal Accident, and Legal Expenses cover. Coaches also hold valid Enhanced DBS checks and First-Aid Qualifications.

Do you offer discounts for multiple bookings?

Yes - clubs, schools, and individuals can book block sessions (4+) for more consistent development across a term or season. Block bookings are offered at a discounted rate, making them an affordable option for regular specialist goalkeeper coaching. Contact us to discuss block options and availability.

Do you only cover London and Kent?

Not at all. While we are based in Bromley and primarily work across London, Kent and the South East, we can, and do, travel to support goalkeepers, clubs and schools further afield. For locations beyond 15 miles from Bromley (BR6), a mileage supplement may apply. Any additional travel costs are always clearly communicated and agreed before a booking is confirmed, so you'll know exactly what to expect from the outset. Our aim is to make high-quality goalkeeper coaching accessible wherever possible

We're a club/school - What equipment do you need to provide a session?

We only require access to a safe, suitable area of the pitch and a goal. 617 Goalies will provide all other coaching equipment required for the session, including hockey balls, cones, rebound boards, deflection equipment, Crazy Catch nets, and other specialist goalkeeper training aids.This allows us to deliver high-quality, structured goalkeeper coaching with minimal equipment requirements from the host club or school.
