Hey all, anyone got any experience with football goals/nets for kids? I want to get one for my 5 year old but for adults to play too in the garden. We did have an old plastic one which fell apart during one summers use, so I think it pays to err pay...

I've seen this cool product anyway called the Kickster Pro which is ultra portable and has many good reviews. It folds away and can be assembled within 2 minutes. About £50 but seems worth it so you can take it anywhere. The goal seems to deform a bit when powerful shots are used but then it retains the ball. I guess its a trade off on portability.

And here's a vid of kickster:




Not sure whether to just go for a more robust type usual style goal like the below:

Type we had before had no connecting fixed bar on the floor between the back and front uprights so was flimsy and frankly, pointless as a goal. :)
 
My dad made me one once out of PVC pipes, and the net from Blackburn FC training ground. It was a good size but wasn't that strong because we didn't clue the pipes together. But the good thing was it didn't cost anything.
 
As mentioned above, if it doesnt need to be portable get the standard one, if it does need to be portable or it would be nice then get the foldy one.
 
Growing up on a farm, our dad got the JCB and some scaffolding poles and slammed them 1m deep in the garden. They were great.

Of the options i'd go for the last one. They look a bit more beefy!
 
Ah bro those goals... Was thinking about them the other day!

I'd go for the hard crossbar ones. How are you supposed to score a Tony Yeboah when the crossbar wraps itself around the ball! Plus you won't get the *ting* sound when you slot one in off the post.
