ive read prior reviews with bemusement. i followed the FIRST set of instructinos in the outer bag put the poles togehter did wonder why each pole had some holes drilled, but continued. Stage 3 was teh setting up of the net win which bag was enclosed another set of instructinos and some clips and which said to disregard piror instructions and insert clips into pole innards to lock into holes.
GREAT.
then it st turned out that 2 of the 8 potential inserts would not fit pole holes becuase holes were not drilled on both sides could not be substituted and therefore did not aligh.
the integrity of the goal is slightly compromised but still usable. I may use a drill & make additional holes.
Amazon gave its usual execellent service & offered refund or discount, and i suppose its worth the price once the hassle has already been endured.
I’m an ok assembler having put togther an elliptical training machine, so i dont think the fault is mine. |

We love the portablility of the PUGG goals (anything the kids can carry themselves is great) and have gotten loads on indoor and outdoor use. We do wish we had gotten the bigger size though. But we have found that using a small nerf ball or a small practice soccer ball makes the 4′ nets a little more fun. |

We bought this for one of my son’s birthdays and it has worked out really nice. we have no need to disasemble it once we set it up so it has been very conveinent. It seems really sturdy and so far, both my sons are very happy with it. It was a little tricky to set up but we have not had that much practice. The weights on the bottom keep it stable but the net frame will still move and give if someone falls into the post; which is a nice safety benefit. |

I purchased the Fanklin Pop-Up Junior Goal so I my 4 year old and I could go to the park and kick a soccer ball around and have some fun. I’ll admit I was a little worried about folding it and stowing it in the bag because I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with similar folding products (e.g. car shades). I folded it on the first try! Although it pops up immediately you still need to add two horizontal stays to the lower corners so that it keeps it shape and the stakes are crucial for keeping it planted.
Overall I’m very satisfied and I hope that it will last for years to come |

The PUGG portable soccer training goals offer an innovative, lightweight and collapsible design that you can easily carry to the field. These goals set-up quickly and can be secured down with the included achoring pegs so you’re quickly ready for games or drills. They fold down to a 1-in flat oval and come with a handy carry bag. Soccer ball not included. |

Soccer goals are a great way to encourage children to turn off their video games and television sets and hit the outdoors. Children enjoy trying their luck kicking soccer balls into actual soccer goals.
But not every soccer goal is right for every occasion. You don’t want to overspend a high-end professional soccer goal, for instance, if all you need is a lightweight and cheaper recreational soccer goal.
Pro soccer goals are always 8 feet high and 24 feet wide. These are the top-of-the-line soccer goals, and are perfect for soccer teams and high-level players.
However, if you’re just trying to arrange some pick-up soccer games in your own backyard, a pro soccer goal may be a bit of overkill. For one thing, it’ll be far too large for young goalies to defend. That can cause some frustration that might cause young soccer players to quit the sport.
Secondly, pro-style soccer goals are far more costly than are recreational soccer goals. For no-pressure, fun games, a recreational soccer goal may be the right choice. These soccer goals are affordable, but are also built sturdily enough to handle some rough play.
Even better, recreational soccer goals come in a wide variety of styles and sizes. This means you can tailor your soccer-goal purchase to the talents of the children who will be using the goals. If you have players who are mostly inexperienced with the sport, you can purchase a smaller, less expensive recreational soccer goal. If you have players that are more skilled, you can find a recreational soccer goal that is larger and more durable.
You may also want to purchase indoor soccer goals. These are perfect if you live in a cold-weather state and you still want to hold pick-up soccer games. They allow you to play a quick soccer match even if it happens to be snowing or 5-below-zero outside.
Finding the right soccer goals for your situation doesn’t have to be a chore. It requires little more than some common sense. Just look at the type of players who’ll be using your soccer goals. And remember, it makes little sense to overpay for pro-style soccer goals when a less-expensive recreational soccer goal will serve your needs.

You want your outdoor parties to stand out. You want everyone to have a good time, from adults to children. But how do you make sure that the children attending your party do have a great time? It’s easy: Buy some soccer goals and set them up in your backyard.
The combination of two soccer goals and one soccer ball is sure to add some extra life to your next outdoor barbecue, family reunion or block party. That’s because the kids attending your party will instantly flock to the grassy field to try their luck at zipping soccer balls into your new soccer goals.
It’s true that you don’t need soccer goals to inspire your party’s younger guests to organize a quick pickup soccer game. But the goals sure do help.
That’s because it’s simply more fun to kick a soccer ball into a net for an official score than it is to simply knock it past a goaltender that isn’t guarding any real-life soccer goal.
Don’t be surprised if several adults at your outdoor party take their own shots at your new soccer goals. Most of us never lose the thrill of competing against each other in organized sporting activities. And when adults have an actual target at which to shoot, you can bet they’ll be out there with the kids, testing out their own abilities to dent those soccer goals with a good scoring kick.
Shop for your soccer goals before your outdoor party. You’ll find that soccer goals come in a wide variety of styles and price points. You probably don’t need to buy a costly top-of-the-line model, but be careful not to go for the cheapest soccer goals, either. Often these goals are too lightweight. Players will spend most of the game picking up the soccer goals.
You can find soccer goals at any area sporting goods store. You may even find them at your nearest large brand-name department store, though the selection at this kind of retailer won’t be as varied.
So next time you’re planning an outdoor party, keep soccer goals in mind. They just might be the things that keep people talking about your party long after it’s over.
