DOC Goalkeeper Academy

💎 THE GEMS ARE OUT.

They were hidden.
Not because they had nothing to show… but because sometimes the best people in football don’t need a spotlight.

On September 6th, these are the people who will help our goalkeepers discover what lies beneath the surface.

🧤 Sharon Costantino — one of the pioneers of women’s goalkeeping in Malta, the first goalkeeper of the Maltese Women’s National Team and an extraordinary coach and human being.
Coach Danilo simply can’t imagine a D.O.C. camp without her.

🧤 Simon Grech — founder of Numero1Malta and goalkeeper coach of reigning Maltese champions Floriana.

🧤 Mike Tabone — experienced goalkeeper coach who has also worked with Hibernians’ senior setup.

🧤 Maya Cachia — current goalkeeper of the Maltese Women’s National Team and Hibernians. A true example of dedication, personality and the constant desire to improve.

🧤 Patricia Araújo — Brazilian goalkeeper, goalkeeper coach and current goalkeeper of Swieqi. A different perspective, a different journey.

🧤 Justyne Caruana — another familiar face in the Maltese goalkeeping scene, bringing experience, energy and a different way of seeing the position.

🧤 Ivan Zammit — goalkeeper coach and coach of the younger Hibernians players, with a passion for developing goalkeepers from the very beginning.

🧤 Luca Abela — a young coach taking his own steps forward, recently celebrating his first senior bench with Hibernians.

Different stories. Different journeys. Different personalities.

One thing in common:

They all have something to give.

And on September 6th, they won’t be hidden anymore.

Est. 2025 🇲🇹

Growth is built through people, shared experiences and meaningful relationships.

Thank you, Numero1Malta, for being part of this journey with our Academy. Together, we keep building relationships, developing goalkeepers and inspiring the next generation. 🪶🤍💙

During a recent goalkeeper camp in Italy, coach Danilo had the pleasure of meeting goalkeeper coach Pierluigi Sallese, sharing ideas, experiences and the passion that unites us all.

As a small gesture, Numero1Malta was proud to give coach Sallese a pair of gloves from the latest range.

Here’s to building new friendships and strengthening the goalkeeper community, one connection at a time. 🧤🇮🇹🇲🇹

Harmony creates development.

At D.O.C., we believe that strong relationships create better coaches, better goalkeepers and, most importantly, better role models.

When trust is built every day on the training ground, it naturally carries over into every environment. That harmony becomes teamwork, and teamwork becomes inspiration for the next generation.

Building relationships. Developing goalkeepers. Inspiring future role models. 🪶

Not every step of the journey needs a spotlight.

Our SHAKE Summer Sessions are where the quiet work happens: smaller groups, consistent training and steady progress, one session at a time.

Today, our young goalkeepers had the opportunity to spend time with Katelyn Camilleri, goalkeeper for Malta Women’s U17. More than talking about football, she shared her journey, her challenges and the importance of never giving up.

At D.O.C., we believe coaches teach, but players inspire. A 12-year-old goalkeeper doesn’t dream of becoming a 40-year-old coach… they look up to the goalkeeper who is just a few years ahead, proving that the journey is possible.

Great coaches don’t create dependence. They create independence. Because the greatest reward is watching young goalkeepers spread their wings and follow their own path.

Thank you, Katelyn. Sometimes, a few honest words can leave a bigger mark than a great save. 💙🪶

“Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value…”

Every journey begins with discovering what is already within us.
