This gives the respect barrier more stability in adverse weather conditions. The safety poles now carry the FA Respect message.
The barrier is designed to keep parents away from the touchline in line with the FAs Respect Campaign.
All sizes are in stock ready for a next working day despatch.

The Soccer Store has launched a new range of football goal posts.
The range consists of 3 three goal posts for garden use or training sessions. The goal sizes are 8 x 4, 8 x 6 and 12 x 6, covering the most popular sizes.
The Training Goals are made in the UK by solely for The Soccer Store. They were recently tested on Channel 4s The Gadget Show and withstood a ball propelled at them mechanically at a speed of 119mph! As usual with all of The Soccer Store’s football goal posts they come with a 12 month no quibble guarantee.
The Soccer Store is a leading retailer of this type of goal in the UK. All of their goals are British made and have been field tested for endurance and quality.

The Soccer Store has joined forces with supplier Precision Training, adding to their already comprehensive range of Football Equipment. This new partnership gives greater flexibility enabling them to deliver an even better service to their increasing customer base.

Precision Training are one of the UK’s leading suppliers of football training equipment and football kits. They are official suppliers of training aids to the football league and work in conjunction with all 72 members of the league throughout England and Wales. Their equipment is tried and tested by professionals and used throughout the UK.

Peter Hart, Managing Director of The Soccer Store says “Bringing Precision Training on board has added depth and quality to our catalogue of football equipment.  Adding a new supplier gives three advantages. Firstly, we are always able to guarantee if we are advertising a product that it will be in stock and available for immediate despatch. Secondly with a choice of suppliers at our disposal we are able to give our customers the best prices on our equipment. Thirdly and most importantly we are able to offer quality products for our customers”

The Soccer Store specialize is supplying match day and training equipment to professional and amateur clubs, schools and associations throughout the UK. The football equipment includes, football goals, speed and agility equipment, fitness equipment, ball control and skill equipment.

A set of football goals supplied by The Soccer Store were featured on this week’s Gadget Show.
The training goal posts were used on the tests to see if a ball could go supersonic.
The record speed for a human kick is 80.1mph and the goals easily withstood this at close range.
The Gadget Show team used an air cannon to propel the ball to 119.03mph and again the training football goals easily withstood this.
All of this shows that The Soccer Stores Training Goal really are a tough set of goals. They are priced from just £65 per goal for the 8 x 6 goals and are also available in the 12 x 6 size. The goals come complete with nets, clips and even a carry bag for storage or to load the goals up and take them down the park. As with all of the goal posts sold by The Soccer Store the goal comes with a full years guarantee.
The training goals are recommended for garden or training use and can be used by children and adults.

With spring just around the corner it is time to get out the garden goal posts if you store them away over the winter. Of course not everyone does put them away for the winter months, there is nothing wrong with this as it is perfectly ok to leave them out all year round.
Either way there are a few maintenance tips you will need to carry out to get the best out of your goal posts.
These are as follows:
1. Give the goals a wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any build of dirt etc.
2. Check the nets. Although the nets are rot proof, this will not stop animals having a chew at them. If this is the case you can order spare football nets from The Soccer Store.
3. Assemble the goal, fasten on the net and securely anchor it down. It is advised that on the larger football goals that you ‘toe in’ the posts to reduce the risk of dip in the crossbar.
These 3 steps complete the annual maintenance for the goals. Get the ball out and have fun!

The S1 shin pads have proved to be very popular since they were introduced at The Soccer Store at the end of last year. We have now started to stock the extra small shin pads to cater for the younger players.
A sizing chart is shown on our website, but in general terms S1 Sport recommends the following.
Small ankle guard matched up with extra small shin pads.
Medium ankle guard matched up with small or medium shin pads.
Large ankle guard matched up with medium or large shin pads.
Because some players are wearing the ankle guards over their sock it is always best to measure the ankle before purchasing.

Plastic goals - you get what you pay for.
The phrase you get what you pay for has never been more relevant when buying plastic goals. There are now so many different outlets selling plastic goals in the high street and online and the prices range considerably. Take one of our most popular goals the 12 x 6. The prices range from around £65 to £99, how can this be surely there cannot be that much difference. Well yes there can. The £99 Samba Goals are constructed from high impact uPVC and made in the UK to FA standards. These goals have a greater wall thickness in the tubing sections than the cheaper imported gaols and will last for many years. They can be left out all year round with no fear of yellowing and come with a no quibble 1 year guarantee.
Buying one of the cheaper goals on the market can be a false economy. You buy the goal at say £60/£65, it lasts for around six months and then you go out and buy the Samba goal you should have bought in the first place.
We would always recommend buying the Samba Goals from us at The Soccer Store. They are fully guaranteed and are used by a host of professional football clubs throughout the UK.

So, we have all put on a few pounds over the festive period, too many turkey dinners, too much Christmas pudding and a bit too much festive spirit!
Now is the time to get back to the fitness regime. Better a little each day than just the one training session a week with the team.
Just 30 - 40 minutes a day can make a big difference.
Do a 5 minute warm up ending with some stretching exercises and then into a 30 min jog. Time yourself doing a certain route and see how much you can get your time down over the next few weeks. Try varying the jog by putting in some 10 to 20 second sprints. Finally end the session with a warm down.
Try varying your exercises over the coming weeks, doing shuttle sprints with some cones speed and agility work with a speed ladder and moving in and out of slalom poles accelerating and decelerating.
Finally don’t for get to do some ball work to improve your control and touch. 10 minutes on your own is far better than 60 minutes with 12 other players.
The football training equipment needed for the fitness routines is available from The Soccer Store.
