The academy

Goalkeeper specialists, from the ground up

An independent academy, built by goalkeepers for goalkeepers, in the heart of the Chablais region.

Our mission

Give every goalkeeper the tools to express themselves

The Last Line was born from a simple observation: in most clubs, goalkeepers receive little to no specific training. We fill that gap with a structured curriculum, specialized coaches and long-term follow-up.

Coaches who have stood in goal themselves

Gianluca Giannarelli

Gianluca Giannarelli

Co-founder & coach

Goalkeeping has always been his passion. He came up through Martigny-Sport, reached the first team and spent 5 years in LNB. After an injury and the club's relegation, he went on to defend the goal for FC Leytron, FC La Combe and FC Fully. He earned his Level 2 coaching diploma at Macolin. He also created the Giana Stop & Shoot tournament, to put goalkeepers in the spotlight at an event dedicated entirely to them.

Arthur Chazelle

Arthur Chazelle

Co-founder & coach

A goalkeeper since his earliest years, his development took off when he joined Dijon FCO at 16. He spent over four years there and broke into the professional squad, in Ligue 2 then Ligue 1. He also kept goal for FC Monthey, FC Aigle and Azzuri in the top amateur division. Passing the game on is in his DNA.

Reading the game

Positioning, communication with the defense, anticipation. The modern keeper plays with their feet and their head.

Physical preparation

Coordination, jumping, core strength, reaction speed. Tailored to each age group.

Mindset & confidence
