Franklin Sports Premier Steel Soccer Goal - 6'x4'

I purchased 2 of these goals for recreational play. I play 2x a week with a group of 10-15 adults. I upgraded from PUGG 6 Footer Portable Training Goal Boxed Set (Two Goals & Bag) The PUGG Goals are great, 10 seconds to put up to play, and they fold up nicely. Then why the upgrade? Pros: 1) Size. Its much more fun to take shots at goal, when there is a decent sized target to take aim at. 2) Sturdy goal. A full grown adults take shots at this goal, and the ball bounces back from the Post. 3) Playing a game of soccer with REAL goals, instead of just cones. A completely different game compared to when playing with Cones or PUGG goals. Cons: 1) Assembly ( takes about 3 minutes to put up the frame, and 2 minutes to put the net up. 2) Dis-assembly - same as above 3) No Carry Bag Included. I purchased a separate 42"x25" Bag to house the goals in. 4) WEIGHT.. They are 25LBS EACH. So a total of 50lbs to be carried to and from car. 5) Size. Takes a a Decent amount of space in my trunk. Overall VERY satisfied with the Build quality, especially for the low price. The boxes that came with the goals, got rained on in the first game we played. The boxes are cardboard and got ruined. I purchased the following Duffle bag: Side Zipper Canvas Duffle Bags One 42x25" Bag holds both goals, nets, and a ball with room to spare. I have uploaded pictures of everything I thought was valuable information. Leave a comment if you want more pictures or have any other questions. FYI Current Amazon Price, which is the lowest I have seen for these goal is $[...]EACH. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Update August 2010 Our Net ripped on accident when a cleat was stuck in the net. But its not big enough for a ball to go through so far we are fine. Just in case someone needs replacement parts you can acquire some at the following phone numbers: [...] Or in MA: [...]

This thing is great. Heavy duty and should last to much abuse.

Big and easy set up

I bought these for a league I run. For the price, you can't really beat it as compared to higher quality (and more expensive) goals. It was very easy to assemble, and it very easy to move on and off the field for one person. That was why I wanted it. It was for the most part sturdy enough to hold up for a season, (and I imagine next season, too) but you do need to use the anchors/stakes that come with it. I give it 4 stars because the stakes are not very sturdy if your ground is hard. Also, we had a few kids who were... well, kids... and would jump up and grab the crossbar. Essentially, imagine them "dunking" on it. It did not take much effort for them to bend the crossbar. A few dads bent it back, and in one case I just ordered a replacement part from Franklin for $12. That's my only real knock on the product. Like I said, compared to other goals for a league, you can't really beat this for the price. If you are looking to get this for simply your backyard, I don't think you are going to find much better.

I bought this because I needed a cheap, but really good goal for backyard play. Here are my thoughts on this goal.. Packaging: The soccer goal comes in a box the size of about a guitar and weighs a good 37 pounds. Each steel bar is packaged in plastic bag and so do the stakes and the net. Set Up: First things first, this is definitely a TWO person assembly. I was stupid enough to try it myself, but I eventually needed assistance from my dad. It took me a good hour and a half to get it finished with net and Velcro strips. With two people you could assemble this faster than I did, around an hour or even less. Quality: The steel bars are great and the net is deemed "All Weather". I will post an update since some thunderstorms are imminent and I'll share how the net showed up to its expectations. I'm 15 and can kick hard but the goal stayed in place WITHOUT even putting on the stakes so I almost guarantee this will stay in place perfectly with the stakes put in. My dad also kicked it hard and it still stayed in place so that's another example. The net will stay in place with the Velcro strips they just have to be put strategically. I didn't follow the instruction with the strips and so far the net hasn't got out of place. Pretty good Velcro strips. The size of the goal is 12 x 6 x 5. It's a pretty good width but the height is kind of a setback if you're 6 feet or taller. Price: I payed $76 for this and in my opinion is a bargain! It's bigger than a 5 x 10 for around $50 and still ok compared the goals that go up to $150. It's not a bad goal for casual backyard play and training on your shots. Conclusion: In the end, this is a great goal and you will definitely get your moneys worth. I think it is best for ages 16-17 and under for casual play and all ages for shot training. If I experience any problems (not likely =P) I will be sure to update this review. UPDATE 5-26-15: After seven heavy thunderstorms and 1 TORNADO this thing is still looking almost like NEW. This is definitely a bargain and I heavily recommend this!

Cute gift for my son. He loves soccer and now he can play it in the backyard. The metal frame is great because I think it will last a lot longer.

This goal set is a really great value. It is a perfect balance between portability and durability. These are much better than other plastic or fiberglass nets that are twice as expensive.

Bought two of these for my kids soccer team. They are easy to set up and take down and durable.
