Having lived and experienced football in the UK, Inventor & CEO Tom noticed how difficult it was to find long lasting, easy to assemble goals. Not only was it expensive for clubs needing to purchase different sized goals for each age, but parents would also often have to upgrade goals as their child grew.
Thinking as a player, coach, and parent, Tom combined his passion for football with his engineering qualifications and entrepreneurial experience, founding Telescopicgoal, the only goals that can go with you and grow with you. After 4 years of research, design, development, and testing, Tom launched the T Models adjustable to over 35 sizes and made of aircraft quality aluminium. Following our success and growth we listened to feedback and launched a smaller, fixed size goal offering customised net printing, the T-REX.
As a clean, green, NZ founded company, being environmentally conscience is important to us. Because Telescopicgoals are made from aluminium there is significantly less impact on the environment than alternatives. A life cycle analysis (LCA) calculated a T3 Telescopicgoal uses 8% of the CO2 emissions when compared with a 5m x 2m PVC football goal and 4% for a 5m x 2m steel goal.
