In all this doom and gloom, BBC 1 Local News program Look North has decided to show the brighter side of the economy, by running a week of good news stories. Steve from our team was interviewed this week, to talk about what QuickPlaySport and Kickster is doing for Grassroots football in the region.  We are continually working with clubs, coaches and regional FA's to improve the quality of football training for juniors everywhere.

You can see the profile, which goes out on Look North, BBC1 throughout the day on Friday 10th April... however, don't worry if you miss it or if Look North isn't your regional news show, we'll be putting the footage on our YouTube Channel as soon as we get a copy.

QuickPlaySport has provided goals to the guys at the Football Africa Project, which are as we speak being taken around Africa on a mission to raise AIDs awareness on the contintent. Here's their plan:

-To travel through 8 countries in Africa: Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana & South Africa
-To play football as a way of breaking down barriers and as a form of communication

-To use art and film to record the process and our individual personal journeys

-To use Tackle Africa training materials to coach people about the dangers and prevention of HIV and AIDS

-To leave footballs and football shirts in as many places as we can


What a great idea... and we've supplied the goals for the job.
Videos & Pictures coming soon.

Please show your support for the project by going to the Football Africa website and making a donation.

We're really pleased to have one of the best Goal Keepers in the World endorsing the Kickster Portable Goal. 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).

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 the Kickster 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 England and went to the 1990 World Cup.
