A 6 by 4 ft soccer goal framed in thickened UPVC pipe, using 3 inch and 2 inch sections so the uprights and crossbar carry their own span without bowing the way thin-wall plastic goals do after a season in the sun. Assembled it stands 72 by 32.5 by 47.5 inches, a size that gives a young player a target worth aiming at while still fitting the space most families have. The frame is braced with a reinforced triangular structure at the back, which is what stops the goal wobbling when a shot hits the woodwork or when someone leans on the crossbar. Six large ground pegs are supplied to anchor the base, holding it down against both a hard strike and the wind that otherwise walks a light goal across the grass. The netting is PE, wear-resistant and high-strength as well as waterproof, so it sheds rain instead of soaking it up and sagging. Everything about the goal is built to stay outdoors, and it can be left up through rainy or sunny days without being dried and stored between sessions. Setting it up or taking it down takes about 15 minutes and needs no tools at all, so the goal can come out for an afternoon and go away again. It weighs 7.5 lbs and suits players from about age 6, giving kids a reason to be outside and away from a screen.
