Welcome
Goal posts direct from the Factory.
In bygone days at the drop of a hat, a jumper or school blazer, impromptu games of football were started anywhere, any time. All who played in those games will remember the many squabbles that took place with every shot that was within inches of the blazer cum goalpost.
To put a stop to those incessant arguments a soccer crazy kid some forty years ago produced a makeshift 12'x6' goal from off-cuts of wood and some pea netting to create the very first mini soccer goal.
When this young lad became a dad himself he made another wood and pea netting goal for his son but realised that something better was needed. Attempts to make a goal from round plastic drainpipe followed however it was quickly realised that these were not strong enough and further research was needed to re-solve the problem.
A specially strengthened uPVC box section was created, and with special corner fittings and ground anchors a goal was manufactured that was easy to assemble, lightweight yet strong, virtually impossible to knock over, light enough to carry in a small bag and with a new unique system of net fitting the goal could be erected quickly and with ease.
New uPVC goals in bags were welcomed by the English Football Association and in 1990 it was thoroughly tested and approved to launch small sided games for children. An invitation to FIFA soon followed and the goals were subsequently approved by the worlds governing body of soccer The Federation de International de Football Association.
Mini-Soccer became mandatory in 1999 for all children under the age of ten playing soccer in England and grants were made available towards the purchase of new equipment to certain organizations introducing the game to children. From that very first wood and pea netting goal a whole new industry of mini-soccer goalpost manufacture has grown up and many thousands of mini-soccer goals are in daily use all over the world. They give many hours of enjoyment and children can emulate their heroes and dream of the day when they might themselves be the one to score that winning goal in a Wembley final.
