The Club >  Goalpost Safety Guidelines >  

Tragically during the past few years, nine children including Jack Sheerin, a seven year old from West Yorkshire, and Jonathan Smith, an eleven year old from Essex have been killed by falling goalposts.

The four golden rules of the FA goal post safety campaign are - Check It, Secure It, Test It, Respect It,
Coaches need to keep in touch with current FA guidelines on specification and use of goal posts
The Club Secretary will pass on any information regarding goal post safety received from the FA to all coaches / managers
Under no circumstances should children use the goalposts as gymnastic equipment, and goalposts should not be used at all, unless they are in good condition, securely anchored to the ground, and are stable.
