Our commitment to safe and fair play for all

At Goalfix we are passionate about ensuring safe and fair play for all. That passion comes from the fact that we are a family-run business with a background in education, amateur and professional football, safety, design and equality at the highest levels in sport. We understand how players and governing bodies alike require sports equipment that is reliable and robust.

No one understands the importance of great design more than our Goalfix Director and Designer, Russell Warnock. Equality, safety, usability and durability – these key aspects must come together to make products that not only look the part but do their job – time after time.

Player safety is at the heart of what we do and the design of all our products. That is why all our clips, joints, fixings and materials have been specially designed to minimise risk and ensure safe play. We have an impeccable safety record and are constantly looking at ways to enhance our products and stay at the top of our game when it comes to safe sports equipment and accessories.

From the beginning we have strived to improve the way things are done – to make play on the pitch as safe as possible and help protect players from some of the serious injuries that have previously been associated with the sport. Indeed, Goalfix was born when we introduced the far safer round post futsal goal to the English FA, which FIFA approved.

Innovation

We invest in research and development and partner with leading sports research organisations to create products that lead the way in safe and fair play:

We worked with a leading University to improve the design of eyeshades for the partially sighted to ensure fair play for all during blind football matches. Our eyeshades were used for the 2017 IBSA Blind Football European Championships.
In goalball, Goalball UK commissioned us to make goalball goals for the IBSA Goalball World Championships 2010.
The Goalfix Flexiweight was designed to provide a safer anchoring system for goals instead of using the solid block weights that were on the market.
We designed clear rebound panels, for use in blind football, to give unrestricted views of all aspects of the game and provide spectators with a more engaging experience. The panels conform to IBSA standards and are designed to be safe, stable and easy to assemble.
