Paul is a “B” license badge holder and works with goalkeepers from 7–16 years old within the Manchester United Academy department. He is involved in the development of the goalkeepers so they can realize their goals and dreams: to play for the one of the most famous Soccer Clubs in the world. A serious knee injury prevented Paul from a professional career while in college so he redirected his passion to being a very knowledgeable, innovative coach. Paul has coached within the United States before, delivering fun and enjoyable camps while promoting a solid, hard-working learning environment. When not working at Manchester United, Paul coaches at the highest non-league level, working with the Stafford Rangers.

Jack has over 10 years of experience in coaching soccer. He has coached recreation and school teams in Colorado and Pittsburgh. He is currently the soccer coordinator for St. Kilian Parish School in Cranberry Township, PA where he is also head coach of the St. Kilian junior varsity team. He also serves as head coach for the varsity soccer team for St. Alexis School in Wexford, PA. Both schools are in the Diocese of Pittsburgh Soccer League. Two of Jack’s daughters are keepers so he became interested in ways in which he could help them perfect their skills. Elite Goalkeeping Academy was born out of an international friendship with Paul Mellings and Mick Payne with the goal of improving goalkeeping skills in Western PA. Jack’s passion mirrors that of Mick and Paul who both have a genuine interest in the EGA keepers. Their goal is to develop the kids and train them throughout their goalkeeping career ... from youth to high school and beyond. With such interest, it is easy to see why this camp is so different and unique.
