Many younger children like to play soccer in their free time or have even joined a club. However, soccer goals are usually only available at sports fields or selected facilities, so your child has no opportunity to play with the ball at home in the garden. What could be more natural than to buy your own soccer goal? But even here there are certain things to consider so that you don’t have to buy a new goal together with your annoyed child after a few days.
The checklist shows you what you need to consider when it comes to materials and assembly. Maybe you will find the right product for you in our product recommendations.
- Assembly: This should be done quickly and easily. If you are dependent on removing the goal from the lawn after each game for space reasons, you should take a closer look at this point
- Material: Mostly, the soccer goal for children is built with a frame, which is made of steel pipe or plastic. However, there are also inflatable or so-called pop-up goals, which immediately move into the right position due to special poles. These are especially suitable for families or children who travel a lot or want to set up the goal again and again in different places.
- Size: You have to adjust this individually to your child. If the goal is too big or too small, it will spoil your child’s fun.
- Padding: To ensure your child’s continued safety, there must be certain padding over the body, posts and crossbars. It must also have rounded edges so your child can’t hurt themselves. If your child is a little older, there are also various anchoring systems that provide stability
- Sturdy and fixed frame: This point is important so that the goal is not broken after a few days. Some children already have a firm shot and can not yet aim accurately at the goal. A soccer goal must be able to withstand this, otherwise it is a sign of inferior quality.
- Weather resistance: Especially if the goal is to stand in the garden for a certain period of time, it must be able to withstand rain, storms or snow. If it cannot, your child will certainly not enjoy it for long.
- For an exciting shot training, the soccer goals can also be equipped with corresponding shot holes. This improves the shooting accuracy of your child and is certainly a lot of fun in the game against other children. In addition, the motor skills are trained. Your child will become the next professional soccer player!
- In this case, it certainly makes sense to invest in a high-quality soccer goal. Cheap goals rust quickly and are therefore only usable for a short time
- They usually range in price from 40-150 euros .
