Private 1:1 football coaching in Doncaster

One-to-one coaching in Doncaster and across Melbourne’s north-east, for goalkeepers and outfield players. A session built entirely around one player — their position, their weaknesses, their next game.

Goalkeeping, one to one

Private goalkeeper sessions with Mel Maizels, Head Goalkeeper Coach at Melbourne Victory A-League Women. The fastest way to shift something that is not moving in a group: handling, set position, shot stopping, distribution, or whatever last Saturday exposed.

Outfield, one to one

Private outfield sessions with Maggie Lena, a decade of coaching across three continents. Technique, decisions and game realism — receiving on the half-turn, when to travel and when to release, seeing the picture half a second early.

How it works

Every session is individualised and planned in advance, and progress is tracked from one session to the next rather than started again each time.

Regulars use 10-session packs: pack holders are allocated weekly times before casual bookings, so the slot that suits stays the slot you get. Packs never expire.

Venues across Melbourne’s north-east and west, including Timber Ridge Reserve in Doncaster and DR Atkinson Reserve in Reservoir.

Small groups instead

If a group suits better, the Goalkeeper Academy in Doncaster runs on Fridays with four keepers a session, and every other format is here.
