Soccer goals

There are different sizes of goals and to play a regulation game of soccer, you must have a soccer goal. The type depends on age, space available and intended use, and you should always anchor a goal to prevent it falling over.

Types available are plastic and metal. Plastic goals are lightweight and are often used for practise, they can be easily moved but always anchor when in play.
Hard plastic goals come in all different sizes and many have a tight netting which serves as a bounce back practise tool.

Metal goals are used in games and are made from aluminium. They are heavy and can weigh up to 175 pounds and are not designed to be moved around. They are weather resistant and durable, but just like plastic goals they need to be anchored to prevent tipping during game play.

Regulation goals come in three sizes, standard, medium and small. Standard goals are 8 feet by 24 feet and should be used for players 12 years and over, for 8 to 11 years olds, the gaol should be 7 feet by 12 feet and for the youngest players, the goal should be 4 feet by 6 feet.
