Let’s face it, mobility is a reality for most soccer leagues and organizations across North America today. With many teams without a home pitch, the need for equipment that can be easily transported is more important today than ever before.
Today’s coaches and organizers are responsible for the complete set-up of both practices and games for their teams and with most acting on a volunteer basis, the need to get from their day job to the soccer pitch can sometimes be a struggle.
To avoid a time-consuming set-up, we proudly carry a variety of goals, nets and other accessories all designed to help make the lives of coaches and organizers a little easier. With these volunteers already sacrificing so much of their time and energy, the process for these individuals really should be as painless as possible.

Supplying products and accessories for the world’s most popular sport tends to keep us fairly busy, particularly this time of the year when many organizations are gearing up for 2017’s soccer seasons here in Canada and in the United States.
As our sports equipment department continues to fill orders for accessories such as anchors, field flags, jerseys and more, our manufacturing and shipping departments are busy preparing, delivering and installing larger items such as goals.

With soccer seasons kicking off across North America over the next couple of months, many organizations, schools, and other facilities are putting the finishing touches on their athletic surfaces and indoor and outdoor fields.
As some might be still assessing the damage from this past winter, we are taking plenty of orders for new PORTABLE or permanent soccer goals across the United States and Canada.
As these orders continue to pile in, with them come many requests and questions regarding the installation of said soccer goals. While the portable units require a relatively simple assembly process, our permanent goals are slightly more involved, requiring a bit more prep before they are ready for use.
With that in mind, we have created the video below for you to view as well as accompanying step-by-step instructions as detailed below for your reference.

Before the snow hit the ground last winter, our crews were working diligently on getting the final touches on what is now one of Ottawa’s most beautiful recreational parks. After two years of planning, the Millennium Park project grew wings of its own and took flight.
The $8 million park expansion includes a new artificial turf football and soccer field, stadium seating and lighting, nine full-size soccer fields, a junior-size soccer field, two ultimate Frisbee fields, a 400m running track, two shade structures, a club house for junior sports clubs, a splash pad with both senior and junior play zones, and junior and senior play structures and swing sets.

Currently in the United States there are an estimated 24,000,000 people who play soccer in one level or another. This statistic has increased to the tune of roughly 89 percent since 1990, and in 2015 soccer was rated more popular to watch on television than ice hockey, auto racing, tennis and golf.
In light of this growth, youth soccer programs in the United States and Canada have exploded over the past years. What was once a sport played by young players on worn out fields is quickly becoming a premier pastime in North American society.

With spring just around the corner, municipalities and athletic complexes are beginning to evaluate the conditions of their outdoor fields. As the snow melts, organizers and operators will promptly begin running through their checklists in preparation for the busy spring/summer athletic season.
With many fields, particularly those operated by municipalities across Canada and the United States being utilized as multi-purpose athletic fields, the need for effective and safe netting is a top priority. While some fields may be in need of securing new netting backstops or perimeters for their fields, others might simply need to assess the condition of their current netting on site. Harsh winters and continued exposure to the elements can cause the netting to wear over time, so a quick evaluation of the condition of all netting each spring is a vital exercise in safety.
For those looking for partial protection or boundary netting requirements, we proudly carry a number of solutions, each that can be tailored to the unique needs of any athletic field. For sports such as soccer, a secure and reliable netting backstop is often necessary for keeping balls in play and reducing the amount of time wasted by players, coaches and organizers chasing stray balls.
