The venue is easily accessible from Oldham, Rochdale, Manchester and the surrounding areas, with straightforward road access and on-site parking available. Its location allows sessions to run consistently year-round, unaffected by public pitch availability or weather-related cancellations.
The primary training area is used for all technical and tactical goalkeeping work. Sessions focus on realistic match situations including shot-stopping, footwork, handling, distribution and decision-making. Group sizes are deliberately kept small to ensure high-quality coaching and individual feedback.
This space allows sessions to mirror the demands of competitive football, while remaining structured and performance-led.
A dedicated performance area supports gym-based work designed specifically for goalkeepers. This includes explosive power development, movement efficiency, agility and injury resilience - all tailored to the physical demands of the position.
Gym work is fully integrated into training sessions, ensuring goalkeepers develop the athletic foundations required for long-term performance.
A specialist area within the venue is used for cognitive and reaction-based training. This includes work on reaction speed, visual processing, peripheral awareness and decision-making under pressure.
Using modern training technology, this zone develops the mental sharpness required for goalkeepers to react quickly and make effective decisions in match scenarios.
The venue also provides access to recovery and rehabilitation equipment, supporting goalkeepers returning from injury or managing training load. Compression and recovery systems may be used within one-to-one sessions to support performance longevity and best practice athlete care.
