Brad Friedel, who's having a fantastic season at his new club Aston Villa, only last week set a new record of 167 consecutive Premier League appearances (and growing). He is arguably one of the greatest players of his generation and he's now joined the QuickPlay team to support and improve grassroots football everywhere. You can learn to be like him with Kickster.

Neville Southall MBE recently kept goal for Quick Play Sport at Wakefield, for the Netto national sales and marketing meeting. Neville said about the Kickster goals: “they are brilliant. There’s nothing like them on the market, they’re ideal". Neville has been described as one of the best goalkeepers of his generation and won the FWA Footballer of the Year award in 1987. He was awarded the MBE in 1995 for his services to football.

Southall joined Everton in 1980 and went on to make a club record 578 appearances in the Football League and helped the team to win a number of honours including the league championship and FA Cup on two occasions each and the European Cup Winners Cup. He also played internationally for Wales, winning a record 93 caps. Since his retirement as a player Southall has managed a number of non-league teams and has coached the Welsh national youth teams.

Recently Dave was good enough to keep goal at the opening of the Crown Paint store at Brentford, supported by Quick Play Sport. Dave thought theKickster goals were great and was really happy with to have his photo taken with us. Dave's former clubs include Newcastle United, Chelsea, Southampton,Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion and Wigan Athletic. 

He became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in an FA Cup final when he blocked John Aldridge's spot-kick for Liverpool in 1988 and in doing so helped Wimbledon secure a famous 1–0 win. He was also the first goalkeeper to captain his team in an FA Cup final. Dave won two caps for Englandand went to the 1990 World Cup.

Quick Play Sport were invited by Aston Villa's Goal Keeper Brad Friedel to take our Kickster Portable Goals out to the USA to his Premier Soccer Academies (PSA) in Lorain, Ohio- for the PSA World Youth Tournament. The tournament involved a week of matches between a group of world class youth teams. The eight teams which participated included three national teams (Chile,Nigeria, and Venezuela), Chivas and Club America from Mexico, Blackburn Rovers, Colorado Rush Select XI from the USA and the PSA Academy Team. It was a great honour (and great fun) to support this event.  

Kickster received more great feedback from all the kids and adults at the event and from Brad himself. It's fantastic that players of all ages and abilties (from amateur all the way up to the premier league) are endorsing the Kickster Portable Goal.

It's been a busy summer for the Quick Play team, we've not stopped since the massive success and great feedback from the Grass Roots Football LIVE show, but we did find some time in August to make our way down to Hastings for the Southern Association Football Academy (SAFA) Soccer Skills Academy Week, where 100 of the best youth players in the South East UK came for an intensive week long Academy training session. It was a fantastic to see them being put through their paces with actual set pieces used in the premiership! Quick Play supplied four Kickster football goals for the event which were used by the Under 12's in training drills and games. Jim Coulston, Head Coach at SAFA said: "the Kickster goals are great, they're exactly what our coaches need and the speed and ease of assembly makes them ideal for us at here SAFA".

From The Grassroots Up… At Quick Play, we believe that sport at the Grassroots level is the more important than any other. Yes, it's where the future professional athletes of tomorrow are born, but more importantly it teaches many core life skills, like teamwork, perseverance and can help to build better communities all over the world. A couple weeks ago Quick Play Sport donated some of our Kickster Goals to Broadway Consolidated Plc, who sponsor Grassroots Football in Liberia. The goals went to an orphanage and a local community playground and the reception has been fantastic! The kids played for six hours, on the day the goals arrived until it got too dark to play! It’s great to see that Kickster portable goals are being enjoyed all over the world.

Okay, so we know some of you have known about Kickster for a while now and a lucky few of you have even been using the goals, but last weekend saw the official launch of The Worlds Most PortableFootball Goal in the world stage. We took the NEC in Birmingham, UK for the Grass Roots LIVE Football Show, to launch Kickster. It was a fantastic weekend, filled with football, demonstrations, fun and competitions and the response to the product was overwhelming. Thanks to all of you who came down to see us and try the goals- we had one of our Kickster 2000 goals set up all weekend and we reckon it must have taken (and stood up to) around a thousand shots from players of all ages! Also well done to Jordan Higgins who won our Kids competition, managing to put up a Kickster 2000 in only 80 seconds!!! And winning a Kickster 2000 goal for his speedy work.

It's a beautiful warm day in the middle of May and Quick Play Sport head to the Reebok stadium on the invitation of Bolton Wanders to set up a small sided football tournament. Bolton approached Quick Play because of the convenience and practicality of Kickster- The Worlds Most Portable Football Goal, in being able to very quickly turn the Reebok pitch into 8 smaller pitches. In all it took two of our team 30 minutes to set up 16 goals on the field (and we got them all there in the back of a Toyota Celica!) which involved 120 Juniors playing in an FA cup style tournament for the afternoon. It was great fun and we can't wait to do it again...
