Managing Director of PILA, Reece Wooldridge explained the importance of the collaboration and how the equipment enables player safety.
“Equipment safety is a paramount concern in football, and our goal posts are designed with this in mind. Enhancing safety standards, we utilise technology to produce goal posts that are not only durable but also reduce the risk of injury. Our partnership with Football Victoria provides local clubs and facilities with access to equipment that prioritises player safety, which is crucial for fostering a secure and enjoyable playing environment,” Wooldridge explained to Soccerscene.
“Our football goals are designed to suit both natural and synthetic turf soccer fields. We offer ground sleeve or portable bases with wheels, to make installation and off-season goal post removal and storage quick and affordable.
“We manufacture two goal post ranges; our PRO Range is suited to elite venues, and our economical CLUB Range is perfect for sports clubs, schools, and training fields. We have goal sizes to suit all levels of competition including 4-a-side, 5-a-side, 6-a-side, 7-a-side, 9-a-side, and 11-a side competition.”
