How to choose a football goal?

Need a professional or garden football goal? Here's a buying guide to help you choose the goal that's right for you. Whether you're a professional club, or you'd like to offer a football goal to your child, we have a wide selection at your disposal.

Here are the questions you need to ask yourself before choosing your football goal:

  • Is it for club or private use?
  • For which age group? Children, Teenagers, Adults
  • What size football goal?
  • For what type of use? occasional or intensive?
  • What material? PVC, Steel, Aluminum...
  • Indoor and/or outdoor use?
  • Embeddable or transportable goals?

These questions will help you choose the right cage for your needs.

Why you need a football gate: For club or private use

Professional football cages: are rather large and resistant, 11-a-side or 5-a-side football cages are more difficult to assemble, but this is a guarantee of the product's quality and length.

Children's football cages: most are easy to assemble and move. They are therefore lighter and last longer when stored in winter.

Football goal: which dimensions to choose?

In professional sports, the 11 players on each team play on a pitch that must measure between 90 and 120m in length, with a width ranging from 45 to 90m. A football goal must therefore be: 2.44m high and 7.32m wide.

Children's football goal: choosing the right size

Unlike the professional environment, where adult players play together, younger categories such as benjamins play on smaller pitches. Smaller dimensions may mean the use of a smaller football goal.

At Netsportique, we offer a whole range of small football goals for 5 to 8 players, especially for very young players. You'll find a playground in your garden that imitates real-life conditions.

Our youth goals range from 5 x 2 m for older players to 1.5 x 0.9 m for younger ones.

How to choose a football goal according to age?

Buying a football goal for your club? The size of your goal is important: you need to be able to comply with federal regulations concerning goal sizes for matches. For training purposes, the reason is similar: it enables you to train as closely as possible to match conditions.

Here are the preferred cage sizes, depending on the category in which your players play:

  • Age 5 - 6 (U6 - U7 categories) to size: 3 x 1.5 m
    Choose mini football goals
  • Age 7 - 8 (category U8 - U9) size: 4 x 1.5 m
    These dimensions correspond to a mini football goal.
  • Age 9 - 10 (category U10 - U11) size: 6 x 2.1 m
    Choose a 5-a-side football goal.
  • Age 11 - 12 (category U12 - U13) at size: 6 x 2.1 m
    Find our 8-a-side football goals.
  • Age 13 and over (category U14 to seniors) size: 7.32 x 2.44 m
    Find the 11-a-side football goal you need.

Football cage: for training or competition?

Choosing the right type of football goal is crucial, whether for everyday training or for official competitions. The differences between training and competition goals are significant, both in terms of design and use. Understanding these distinctions will help you choose the equipment best suited to your needs, whether you're improving your skills or organizing official matches.

The difference between competition and training goals

Competition goals are designed to meet strict standards. They are generally made from sturdy materials such as aluminum or steel, and their size is standardized in accordance with current regulations. These goals are designed to be permanently or semi-permanently fixed to the pitch, ensuring maximum stability. They are intended for official matches and competitions, where precision and conformity are essential.

The other way around,training goals are designed to be more flexible and practical. They are often made from lightweight materials such as uPvc, making them easier to transport and install. What's more, there are foldable or modular models, perfect for quick storage and easy transport. These features make them ideal for a variety of training sessions, whether for practicing shots on goal, aiming for the crossbar, or organizing small informal matches. Training goals are designed to adapt to different environments, from a football club to the family garden.

The importance of this distinction

The distinction between competition and training goals is essential to optimize football practice. The use of training goals offers great flexibility, making it possible to vary the exercises and adapt them to the abilities of both beginners and experienced players. Competition goals, on the other hand, are indispensable for official matches, where compliance with standards is imperative. Knowing these differences will enable you to choose the equipment best suited to your needs, whether for the pleasure of the game or in preparation for competitions.

If you want to use them for training, you can look at small football goals. You'll find :

  • uPvc football goals
  • folding goals
  • modular football cages

What material are football goals made from: aluminum or steel?

  • If you want to use them for competitions, professional and intensive training sessions, matches or international meetings: we recommend sturdy goals made of aluminum or steel, from 11-a-side football goals to futsal goals.
  • If you want them outdoors, you need aluminum to withstand the elements and prevent rusting.
  • If you opt for mini football goals, the choice is yours: from resistant uPvc plastic, to steel, to aluminum. It all depends on the model you want. There's also a choice of pop-up goals, which can be folded up, modulated into 2 sizes, or quickly installed... There's no standard goal - the choice is yours!

But what's the difference between the two materials? Steel is treated for strength, but inevitably the material is less resistant than aluminum to the vagaries of the weather.

The choice between an aluminum and a steel goal depends on a number of factors, such as intended use, durability, weight and budget.
