Over recent years, Cashmere Technical Football Club has continued to adapt its facilities to align with changes in the game and evolving player development structures introduced by New Zealand Football.

Phil, General Manager of Cashmere Technical Football Club, said recent adjustments to game formats, including reduced team sizes to increase player involvement, played a key role in driving new investment in match-day infrastructure.

As expectations around club accreditation and facility standards continue to evolve, Cashmere Technical Football Club has continued investing in equipment and infrastructure that improves the overall match-day experience.

Perennial player shelters have become an important part of that setup. Phil, the General Manager of Cashmere Technical Football Club, said, “Competition organisers are raising the standard as far as accreditation and what you have to have as a club on a match day. Player shelters are one of them.”

As a club with teams training across multiple age groups, Cashmere Technical Football Club needed training equipment that could withstand regular use while still being practical for coaches and players to manage across different environments. 

Before investing in Alpha Folding Goals, the club had relied on lightweight pop-up goals that weren’t always suited to the demands of regular football training. Phil, General Manager of Cashmere Technical Football Club, explained, “the old style pop-up goals… they blow over in the wind or you kick a ball at them and they fall over.”

For more than a decade, Trinity Schools Trust Board has partnered with Perennial to supply sporting equipment across its three schools, Rathkeale College, St Matthew’s Collegiate, and Hadlow Prep. From goals and cricket covers to tennis nets and sumi soakers, it’s a relationship built on trust, quality, and service.

Balclutha AFC might be a small club, but thanks to a few smart investments, they’re making a big impact, both on and off the field. Alf, a volunteer at the club, has been line marking and maintaining fields for years, and says the Tiny Mobile Robot from Perennial has completely changed the way they do things. “It’s brilliant, an absolutely marvellous machine,” Alf says. “I used to use string lines and a hand-held spray marker. The time saving is unbelievable. We’d never go back to doing it the old way.”

FC Nelson is one of the South Island’s largest football clubs, providing opportunities for players of all ages and abilities. To support the growth of the club and improve the quality of their facilities, FC Nelson invested in 16 Alpha Aluminium Folding Goals, 2 Velocity Goals, and a range of nets and goal accessories from Perennial.

St Albans Shirley Football Club is one of Christchurch’s well-established community football clubs, providing opportunities for players of all ages. In a move to improve the quality and professionalism of their facilities, the club purchased 12 Velocity Football Goals for their older teams and 20 Alpha Aluminium Folding Goals for their younger age groups, along with footballs, markers, and bibs from Perennial.

Struggling with outdated and run-down football goals, Cambridge FC needed a more reliable, portable option that would be rust free and easy to move from field to field. Perennial’s Velocity Football Goals were the obvious solution.
