The QwikGoal Story
I love going to the park to play football with my son, but we always have trouble finding something to mark a goal. If your playing football you want to score a goal. We search around for bits of stick, but even if you find 2 small pieces it's impossible to push them into the ground. Jumpers or shoes work as a marker but then we argue about whether or not we scored when the ball bounces over them. Sometimes we even resort to saying “it's that daisy to that bit of weed”. None of the choices work as a realistic goal.Then I thought, there must be millions of kids out there wanting to play a decent game of football in the park, just like us. So I got to thinking about our problem and decided to do something about it. I decided to manufacture a set of goalposts, which would look like real goalposts but would be completely portable and very easy to put up. I found a great designer and we got together to find the best way to solve our problem. It had to be the best design using the best and strongest materials.
We tried lots of ideas and spent almost a year experimenting with designs and materials until we found the best solution, which above all worked brilliantly, but also fulfilled my other criteria, which were: ease of use (you can put them up in a few seconds), easy to carry around (they pack away into a backpack), virtually indestructible and look like real goalposts.
I didn't want a crossbar or a net because that would take too long to put up and be too difficult to carry around.
We achieved a solution that works much better than I ever imagined.
A pair of goalposts which are over 6 feet high, take only a few seconds to put up, but telescope down to be easily carried in a backpack.
