What size football goal do I need for my garden?

Measure the lawn first, then leave room in front for a run-up and behind for missed shots. For young children, a compact football goal around 90 to 120 cm wide is enough. Older children and adults will get more from a 180 x 120 cm or 240 x 160 cm SPORTNOW goal. Bigger goals need a long, clear lawn to be worth it.

What is a pop up football goal?

A pop up football goal has flexible fibreglass poles that spring open into shape, so there’s nothing to assemble. The SPORTNOW pop up goals come with a carry bag and U-shaped ground stakes, and you can buy them singly or as a set of two. They fold back down after use, which makes them easy to take to the park.

What does a football rebounder do?

A football rebounder is a tight net on a frame that sends the ball back when you kick it, so you can practise without a partner. Many have adjustable angles for ground passes or balls in the air. The vidaXL 100 x 100 cm rebounder folds flat, and the vidaXL 2-in-1 model works as a goal on the other side.

Can a football goal stay outside all year?

Some are built to cope. The SPORTNOW 240 cm football goal has a powder coated, weather resistant frame, and several vidaXL rebounder nets are UV resistant. Even so, taking the net down over winter or in long spells of wet weather will keep it in better condition. Check the ground stakes after rain, as soft ground can loosen them.

How do I stop a football goal blowing over?

Peg it down. Most of the SPORTNOW football goals come with ground stakes, and the pop up goals have U-shaped stakes. Push them in fully on firm grass, and check them after heavy rain. If the goal is going on a patio or hard surface where stakes won’t go in, weigh down the base so it stays upright. Browse more garden kit in our outdoor games range.

Which football goals suit young children?

The smaller kids’ goals in our range are a good starting point. vidaXL makes a pair of 64 x 35 x 48 cm metal goals that come with a ball, as well as a foldable 90 cm goal. There’s also a children’s football and basketball set. Some SPORTNOW goals have EPE foam padding and PVC covers on the frame. Always supervise young children while they play.

Do football goals need assembling?

It depends on the type. Pop up football goals don’t need any assembly, as the fibreglass poles spring open and you just peg them down. Metal frame goals arrive in parts and need putting together, though the SPORTNOW 10 x 6.5 ft goal is listed as easy to assemble. Rebounders vary, so check the listing for what’s needed.

A goal in the garden means kickabouts after school, shooting practice at the weekend, and fewer balls over the fence. Pick a size that suits your garden and your players, and it’ll get used all year.

The range runs from small kids’ goals and pop up nets to full metal frame goals up to 240 cm wide. Pop up goals use flexible fibreglass poles and pack into a carry bag, so you can take them to the park or the beach. Metal frame goals are sturdier, and several SPORTNOW models come with foam padding, PVC tube covers and ground stakes.

For practising on your own, a rebounder net sends the ball straight back to you. Many have adjustable angles, so you can practise passing along the ground or controlling a ball in the air. Some double up as a goal on the other side.

Brands include vidaXL, SPORTNOW and HOMCOM.

Choosing the right size

Start with your garden, not the goal. Measure the lawn and leave plenty of run-up in front of the goal, plus space behind it so missed shots don’t end up in a flower bed or against a window.

For younger children, a compact goal around 90 to 120 cm wide is plenty. Older children and adults will get more out of a 180 x 120 cm or 240 x 160 cm goal. Several of the kids’ goals come in pairs or with a ball, so a match can start as soon as the box is open.

Pop up or metal frame?

Pop up goals are quick. The fibreglass poles spring into shape, you peg the goal down with the U-shaped stakes, and at the end of the day it folds back into its bag. They’re the better choice if you play in different places or need the lawn back between games.

Metal frame goals take longer to put together but feel more like a proper goal, and they stand up better to a hard shot. Choose one with ground stakes for grass, and check whether the frame is powder coated if it’s going to stay outside.

Rebounders for solo practice

A rebounder is a tight net on a frame that sends the ball back when you kick it. Angle it low for passing and first touch, or tilt it up to practise volleys and headers. The sizes vary a lot, from compact frames under a metre wide to large 366 cm rebounder walls.

Smaller rebounders like the vidaXL 100 x 100 cm model fold flat for storage. Some frames, such as the vidaXL 2-in-1 rebounder goal, work as a goal on one side and a rebounder on the other.

Weather and care

Several nets in the range are UV resistant, and some frames are weather resistant. Even so, taking the net down over winter, or during a run of wet weather, keeps it in better condition for longer. Check the stakes now and then, as soft ground in winter can loosen them. If a goal is going on a patio instead of grass, weigh down the base so it can’t tip.
