The football club space

Goals and mini-goals

Foldable goals, like the PowerShot Quickfire, can be set up in a few seconds and pack flat in a bag: they allow for multiple small pitches in the same area. Portable mini-goals, with hooks for the net and ground anchoring, are used for small-sided games for younger players and finishing drills. A goal should always be securely fixed to the ground: an unsecured goal can tip over and cause serious injury.

Tactical boards and tools

The large magnetic and wipeable tactical board, like the models measuring 90 by 60 centimetres, is used to explain positioning or game plans to the whole group at half-time or before a session. Double-sided boards, with full and half-pitch layouts, and tactical notebooks, like the one from Select, are used to plan sessions and track player progress.

Agility, marking and mannequins

Foldable agility hurdles improve coordination and speed, marker discs indicate playing areas, and marking cones help to permanently mark the lines of a training pitch. Mannequins, with a weighted rubber base, simulate a defensive wall for free kicks or an opponent for dribbling exercises.

The coach's whistle

The ball-less whistle Fox 40, which produces sound from the shape of its chambers, works in the rain and in very cold weather: it is the standard for referees and coaches. Other equipment can be found on the luggage, balls, protective gear, referee, training gear, accessories pages, brought together on the equipment page.

New arrivals and good deals

The new arrivals showcase the latest models, the special offers feature previous collections at reduced prices, and items shipped in 24 hours are prepared and sent out within a day. The good deals, clearance, sales, and Black Friday have their football page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to secure a football goal so it doesn't tip over?

A goal must always be weighted or anchored to the ground, using pegs, sandbags or counterweights, before any use. Serious accidents happen when children hang on a goal that is poorly fixed.

What size goal for youth categories?

Dimensions vary depending on the game: smaller goals for 7-a-side football, even smaller for 5-a-side for beginners, and mini-goals for games and workshops. Check the dimensions set by your federation for each category.

What equipment for a session with U9s?

Cones to mark out spaces, a few mini-goals for small matches, vests, and balls suitable for their age. Low hurdles and hoops complete motor skills activities, which are essential at this age.

Why use mannequins in training?

Mannequins simulate a wall or defender to practice free kicks, crosses and feints without using players. They make drills more realistic and help secure the learning of curled strikes.

Foldable or fixed goals: what to choose for a club?

Foldable goals, like the PowerShot Quickfire, can be set up in seconds and increase the number of small pitches in the same area. Fixed goals, which are heavier and more stable, remain the standard for official matches on club pitches.
