"JUMPERS FOR GOAL POSTS"
When impromptu games of football took place in by gone days jumpers were used for goal posts. All who played in those games will remember the many squabbles that took place with every shot that was within inches of the jumper come goalpost. To put a stop to those incessant arguments a soccer crazy kid in the late fifties produced a makeshift goal post from off-cuts of wood and some Woolworth's pea netting to create the very first mini soccer goal. This boyhood football goal eventually led to the Plastic goals we all enjoy and use today. That lad grew up and went on to make the first lightweight safe plastic Mini Soccer Goal. Strong and stable the goals that were impossible to knock over, light enough to carry in a small bag and with the addition of a patented net fixing the goal allowed a football pitch to be set up anywhere at any time. From that first wood and pea netting football goal the small, sided game "Mini Soccer" was created which led children's 7v7 junior football. They say imitation is the best form of flattery and the concept of safe plastic football goal posts for children has been copied many times over the years, but none have come anywhere near to the strength and longevity of the original ITSA GOAL posts. Made in the home of football Sheffield they are now in the fourth decade of production.
7v7 Football Goal Posts
The recommended Football Association Mini Soccer goal size is 3.6 M x 1.8 M (12' x 6'). We suggest that heavy free standing goal posts are never used around young children. The younger the children playing football the lighter the goal post weight needs to be. The maximum size pitch for 5v5 football is 40 yards x 30 yards and 7v7 football is played on a maximum pitch size of 60 yards x 40 yards. 5v5 football is for the noticeably young children up to the age of seven and use 8'x6' football goals. Mini soccer uses 12'x6' goals and 7v7 football is played from the age of eight or nine.
