British Columbia-based Farpost Soccer Company returns for a third season as the official goal supplier of Major Beach Soccer, and also becomes a strategic partner of United Soccer Leagues.
“MBS is extremely lucky to have a partner such as Farpost Soccer Company to help us grow the game of beach soccer in North America,” MBS Founder and Director Peter Mellor said. “Farpost Soccer goals provide our events with goals that are durable, mobile, flexible and easy to set up and take down, which adds tremendous professionalism and efficiency to our operation.”
Founded in 1999, Farpost Soccer Company started with the idea of creating a safe, portable goal that would be easy to transport, set up and take down. Today, more than 600 clubs throughout North America utilize Farpost goals for their programs including the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer and the Manchester United Soccer Schools.
“We are proud to support Major Beach Soccer and USL,” Farpost Soccer Company Owner Michael Cash said. “Being part of this event on an ongoing basis allows us the opportunity to reach new players and fans of the sport while displaying the versatility of our products.

About Major Beach Soccer: Created by USL Technical Director Peter Mellor, Major Beach Soccer joined USL in 2010. A fixture on Florida beaches for the past 23 years, Major Beach Soccer events feature teams competing five-on-five in 30-minute games with prizes for champions and runners-up in all age groups. Flicks and acrobatic bicycle kicks are the norm in beach soccer, where the fields and goals are small but the action is nonstop.
