If you’re a little confused by the wide range of goals, you’ve come to the right place!

The ever-increasing ranges of portable goals means that it is all getting a little confusing. What should be easy, is now a list of companies trying to sell all types of crazy goals, rebounders, nets and barriers. You don’t need every portable goal out there. Heck, unless you are a sports club, you probably only need one, maybe two goals (good for backyard games). But, how do you know which goal is right for you and your age?

It is jam packed full of useful info on portable goals and knowing what to look for when purchasing your goal. We also have info on what is best for clubs, training and home use. We like to think that FSPORTS is the one-stop info factory for all your portable goals, rebounders/reflex nets and barriers.

But, if you just want to know the right size portable goal for sports like soccer, hockey, baseball, futsal and volleyball, then look no further than here. For we have put together a comprehensive list of portable goal sizes to make things clear and simple when researching for your next goal purchase.

Official Goal Sizes by Sport and Age – Metric and Imperial

First things first. Every sport, age and discipline have their own correct size goal or net. For example, Football Australia regulates that each age-group uses specific goals, but be aware that outdoor soccer is different to futsal (Indoor soccer) and they require different size goals. FIFA also has a set of standards, but then gives each country allowances for juniors and kids. 

So always keep in mind that you need to know what you are using the goal for.
