With 2010 being a World Cup year, football fans haven’t had to experience the usual 3 month summer lull between the end of one season and that start of the next. There has been almost no break between the end of the World Cup and the start of pre-season, providing football lovers year round entertainment. However, the amateurs among us aren’t lucky enough to be playing in international summer tournaments and haven’t therefore, while being able to watch football on the box, put their boots on and played for a while. As the professional season begins, so do the lower leagues, and now is the perfect time to purchase some new gear to make sure you’re prepared to start the new season with a bang!

First up, football boots. With a wide range of choices, you can find the perfect boots to suit your game. From Adidas to Nike boots, studs to blades and standard black to flamboyant yellows, get yourself a pair of boots to ensure you’re at the top of your game from the first kick. A top tip with new boots is to make sure you wear them in, otherwise you’re feet will definitely be hurting at the final whistle of your first game.

To make sure you get a little practice in before the season starts, or to work on your game in your own time, it may well be worth purchasing your own football goal. Available in a variety of sizes, you can get a goal to fit your needs. Learn to shoot like Ronaldo and score like Rooney with a goal in your garden!

It’s also worth thinking about some new training gear, shin pads and obviously a new football – all key ingredients to a successful season. So pull up your socks, put on your boots and get out onto that field for another 9 months of football fun!
