Goals and football nets to kit out your club

Which football goal to choose based on your usage?

The choice of football goal mainly depends on the intended use: individual training, club collective sessions, or 8-a-side or 11-a-side matches. For technical work alone, a goal like the SKLZ Trainer Solo or a foldable mini-goal is sufficient and can be easily transported from one pitch to another. For collective sessions, portable mini-goals with fixing hooks and ground anchoring provide more stability, especially the Avento or Get & Go models designed for quick assembly.

For match play, 8-a-side goals and reversible goals cover the needs of youth teams and small matches, while 11-a-side goals are used for official games. The brands Powershot, Hudora, and Sporti offer structures designed for regular use on club pitches.

Football nets: which ones to choose for your goal?

The net is chosen based on the size of the goal and the type of mesh required. The bicolour 11-a-side net Sporti or the Futnet competition net fit large structures, while nets for mini-goals with a 50 mm mesh are suitable for small goals used during training.

Some nets, like the hexagonal mesh models from Powershot, are designed for stadium use and lasting performance. A replacement net also allows you to replace a damaged net without changing the entire goal structure, making it a practical solution to extend the lifespan of an already installed goal.

Accessories and additional equipment for your goal

Beyond the goal and net, several accessories complete the equipment of a pitch. The target for 8-a-side football helps with precision training, while the football tennis kit allows for varied technical exercises. Goal ears and the weight sack are used to fix and stabilise the structure, which is handy when the goal remains set up outdoors.

The protective net is placed behind or around the goal to limit lost balls and protect the surrounding area, a solution often used alongside fixed or foldable goals.

Pitch equipment: other pages to check

The Goals and Nets selection is part of the Pitch Equipment section, which includes other useful gear for a club or training ground:

• The touchline shelters, to protect substitutes and staff on the sideline.
• The markings, to outline the lines of the pitch before a match or training.
• The hurdles and hoops, for physical preparation and coordination exercises.
• The cones and markers, to organise drills and training workshops.
• The corner flags, to signal the boundaries of the playing field.

You can also return to the Pitch Equipment page to find all these categories.

Frequently asked questions

What size goal to choose for an amateur club pitch?

The size depends on the format of play on the pitch: an 8-a-side goal is suitable for small matches and youth categories, while an 11-a-side goal is required for a regulation-sized pitch. For individual or small group training, a foldable or portable mini-goal is usually sufficient.

How to attach a net to an existing goal?

The net is usually attached using hooks, eyelets, or goal ears that fit the existing structure, allowing the net to be hung without additional equipment. Some mini-goals include built-in fixing hooks designed for this type of setup.

Is a foldable goal stable enough for regular use?

A foldable goal is designed for quick setup and storage, making it practical for frequent use, provided it is weighed down or anchored to the ground depending on the model. A weight sack or anchoring system enhances stability outdoors, especially in strong winds.

What is the difference between a standard football net and a protective net?

The football net is fixed to the structure of the goal to stop the ball during a targeted shot, while the protective net is placed around or behind a playing area to limit lost balls. Both address different needs and are chosen based on the pitch configuration.

Is the goal equipment suitable for outdoor use all year round?

The goals and nets in the catalogue are designed for outdoor use, but their durability depends on the material of the structure and exposure to the elements. Keeping them stored away from the elements when not in use, when possible, extends the lifespan of the equipment.
