Choosing football goals according to your needs

Although the question of the price of a football goal is central, it's obvious that you should also choose your soccer goals according to your needs. These are not the same whether you're a football club or a family. The former will be focusing on competition, while the latter will be focusing on leisure or training.

For sports clubs

Within a football club, there may be several teams in different age categories. The club will obviously need to equip its senior teams with 11-a-side goals, both for competition and training.

• For competition, 11-a-side sealed goals are the preferred choice
• whereas for training purposes, a transportable goal is preferable, so that it can be easily moved to suit the coach's needs during training sessions.

For youth categories, the club will need 8-a-side and 5-a-side goals, and for 8-a-side goals, there are sealable and transportable goals. For 5-a-side goals, we'll be looking for mobile and easily transportable goals. The most suitable style of goal would undoubtedly be the Quickfire range, which is easy to transport, resistant and safe for children. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

For playing with family and friends

The same reasoning applies to family play. Buying an inexpensive football goal depends on the age of the children. You need to choose a goal size suited to your children's playing ability. When children are small, folding or pop-up mini goals are preferable for starting to kick the ball. As they get older, they'll want bigger goals.

Ofcourse, this also depends on the space you have in your garden. Ease of assembly/disassembly and transport may also be a requirement if you're going to be storing the goal at home on a regular basis.

If you want to leave your goal outside all year round, it's preferable to choose an aluminum goal, which will ensure its durability by not rusting.

What criteria should I take into account when buying new goals?

• Quality/price ratio: you'll need to find the best ratio between a goal that perfectly meets your needs, while corresponding to market prices and your budget.
• Practicality: easy assembly/disassembly thanks to the goal's folding feature or with pop-up goals, easy transport thanks to a carry bag supplied with the product are clearly criteria to be taken into account. Especially if you need to store the goal on a regular basis, or travel to training sessions with it or to tournaments, for example. Ease of assembly/disassembly will make the job easier for both children and educators/parents.
• Materials: For football goals that need to be sealed in place, or goals that require a certain stability and are used by adults, steel will provide a real guarantee of performance. For transportable goals used outdoors, it's best to opt for aluminum, which is lighter and easier to transport, and above all, more durable because it doesn't rust.

We also offer a wide range of unbreakable UPVC mini goals, perfectly suited to children.

• Practice conditions: It goes without saying that the choice of goal depends on the intensity of practice: fun, training, competition. It's important to remember that to be able to use your football goals in competition, they must be EN 748-certified. This must also be part of your criteria.
