Kickmaster Quick Up Goal And Target Shot

Product Information

This goal measures 1.8 x 1.2 m (6 x 4 ft) which makes it a good size for children up to approximately 10 years old. Although it may not be quite as robust as the solid-frame goals featured on this list, it’s a really excellent option if you’d prefer to have temporary posts in the garden that can be speedily put up and taken down. Nets are often overlooked when it comes to choosing the best goal post for the garden, but netting takes just as much abuse as posts, especially if your kid is a good shot.

Steel free standing – large steel goals need construction and must be securely anchored. If you don’t plan to move them, the feet can be concreted into place. Choose kids football goal posts that are big enough to have fun, but don’t ruin your outside space. A 6-8 x 4 foot goal is big enough for primary school kids to enjoy. Although it only measures 1.2 x 0.9 m (4 x 3 ft), it doesn’t need to be used exclusively by younger children; older kids may also enjoy being able to easily carry this compact goal with them to play with their friends. Otherwise, it’s an appropriate size for children around three – seven years old.Let’s start with assembly. There’s always that slight pause and assessment when you open the box – is this going to be easy or a nightmare! Thankfully, these goals are really easy to put together, and the instructions are very clear to follow. If so, aluminium posts are very popular as they’re rustproof and take the hassle out of putting them up and down if it rains, plus they are lightweight enough to move single handed. Of course, you can ignore this advice as it’s only regulation for professional games, and after-school clubs, but you’ll find the sizes make sense compared to your kid’s height. Also it’s extremely lightweight, weighing just 3.5 kg, so there are no problems with moving it to a different spot whenever the grass needs a rest.

There are two ground pegs included, to keep the goal secure, but it’s also easy simple enough to move the posts around when needed, to switch up their location in the garden. As you would expect, these goal posts are extremely robust and can be left outside in all weather. Although the galvanised steel may suffer some discoloration, it doesn’t rust – even after several years. As with all the best football goal posts, the Steel 42 comes with bungee cord net attachments and anchor pegs to keep it safely in place. Pop-up goals are available in all sizes, so you don’t have to be limited to a compact goal. However, even small 1.2 x 0.9 m (4 x 3 ft) pop-up goals can be enjoyed by children of a large age range; they’ll just be more like target practice for older kids. You should also consider a pop-up goal if you want something that’s easy for kids to take to the park, beach or on holiday .
