Messages like this never get old! 🙌
A massive congratulations to Teddy on being voted Crediton U9s’ League Player of the Year by his coaches! 🏆👏
Seeing our goalkeepers recognised for their hard work, commitment and development is always incredibly rewarding. While awards are never the ultimate goal, they’re a fantastic reflection of the attitude, consistency and effort put in throughout the season.
We’re proud to have played a small part in Teddy’s journey and can’t wait to see what comes next. Keep working hard, keep enjoying your football, and congratulations once again! 💪⚽️

A huge congratulations to Thomas on an incredible weekend between the sticks! 🧤🏆
Representing his team at the Tedburn St Mary Tournament, Thomas helped guide his side to tournament victory with an outstanding series of performances. Across the entire competition, he recorded 6 clean sheets, conceded just 3 goals and stepped up when it mattered most by saving 2 penalties in both the semi-final and final shootouts to help secure the trophy ✨
Facing strong opposition including teams from Torquay, Exmouth, Totnes and Dartington, Thomas earned praise from coaches throughout the tournament for his performances, composure and goalkeeping quality.
Success like this doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through consistent effort, a willingness to learn, and the commitment Thomas shows week after week in training. We’re delighted to see his hard work being rewarded on the pitch and can’t wait to see what comes next! 👏⚽️
Well done Thomas! A brilliant achievement and one that everyone at GKDC is incredibly proud of! 💜🩵🧤
🚨 FROM U9s TO U18s… THE FUTURE OF EXETER CITY’S GOALKEEPING PATHWAY ALL IN ONE SESSION 🚨
One of the standout moments from last week’s pre-season preparation sessions was seeing both ends of Exeter City’s Academy represented at GKDC.
On one side, we had an Under-9 goalkeeper putting in the work, developing the foundations of their game and embracing every challenge. On the other, Exeter City’s Under-18 goalkeeper Sam joined us as a guest coach, sharing his experiences and helping support the next generation coming through, before training with us in our adult session.
It’s a brilliant reminder of what the goalkeeper journey can look like, and a fantastic example for our young keepers to see first-hand.
The sessions themselves were excellent, with both our youth and adult goalkeepers continuing their pre-season preparations in hot but manageable conditions, showing fantastic effort, energy and commitment throughout. ☀️🧤⚽
Unfortunately, for the first time in GKDC history, we had to cancel Thursday’s session due to the extreme heatwave. We’re all for off-season training and conditioning, but player welfare always comes first, and this week’s temperatures are simply too much.
We’re gutted we couldn’t get on the grass this Thursday, but we’re already looking forward to getting everyone back together as soon as conditions allow.
Until then, here’s a look back at another fantastic week of preparation, learning and development at GKDC 🩵💜

A huge congratulations to Thomas on being voted both Players’ Player and Supporters’ Player at Copplestone United ✨
Awards like these reflect not only performance on matchdays but also the hard work, commitment and attitude shown throughout the season. It has been a pleasure working with Thomas through his time as a GK and seeing his development continue with every session.
Well deserved recognition for a fantastic season. Keep pushing forward, Thomas 👏🧤
ECFC U18, Exeter College, SWPL and DFL goalkeepers all on the grass this week for our first ever 16+ Pre-Season Goalkeeper Sessions! 🧤🔥
It was fantastic to see such a strong mix of goalkeepers all putting in the work during the off-season, with excellent numbers and an outstanding attitude throughout the session.
A special mention to Sam Down, who has been working with us during his off-season at Exeter City U18s, although since taking him at the academy in the U9s, also is making me feel incredibly old…
This reel gives a small glimpse into some of the less chaotic activation practices we worked through before progressing into more live, game-related practices designed to challenge decision-making and replicate match-day demands.
We’re delighted with how these sessions have started and are excited to continue helping goalkeepers prepare for the season ahead.
As always, we’ll do our best to accommodate more goalkeepers looking to join us throughout the summer, so if you’d like more information, drop us a message for sign-up details! ⚽️💪
