Children's football goal in your garden

Do you like to shoot at goal or are you a goalkeeper ready to stop every opposing shot? Are you a coach who's tired of seeing your players shoot off-center? You need a high-performance soccer goal for quality soccer training, whether in the garden or on the club pitch. Here's how to make or choose one.

How to make a soccer goal

Steel, aluminum, PVC or wood: the material will depend on how you fix the bars together. While the aluminum option is the most recommended for outdoor use, the PVC option seems to be the simplest for assembly, and all you need to do is follow a few tutorials. If you're good at DIY and have the right equipment, you won't find it too difficult.

How do I design a soccer goal?

Two posts and a crossbar are all you need to create a soccer goal, as long as the structure respects right angles. You'll then need a net to attach to the uprights. Measurements are adapted to the profile of the players:

• for children under 8 years of age, opt for smaller dimensions of 3 to 4 m x 1.5. For children under 12, 6 m x 2.1 m will suffice.
• For older children, the maximum dimensions are 7.32 m x 2.44.

Sometimes, it's the constraints of your land or the space you have available that dictate the dimensions. A small cage can also be an asset for greater precision.

How do I fix a soccer goal?

Fixing depends on the material chosen. A removable goal will not need to be fixed to the ground, whereas a fixed goal will need to be solidly attached by pouring concrete into the lawn to establish a fixture, or more simply by using soccer goal fixings for transportable models.

How do I mount a soccer goal?

It all depends on the material: a steel, pvc or aluminum goal cannot be dismantled easily, so it's best to leave it as it is on the pitch, in a corner of the garden or in its usual fixed position. If it's a folding goal, simply take it out of its cover and it will return to its original shape.
