How to Choose the Right Football Goal for Your Backyard

Looking for the best football goal for your home? With so many options available, it can be hard to choose. Here's a quick guide to help you pick the perfect football net for your yard, your kids, and your budget.

Consider Your Space and Players
The right goal depends on:

  • Yard size - Make sure the goal fits!
  • Player age - Choose the right size for your kids.
  • Budget - From small pop-up nets to full-size metal goals.

Tip: No yard? A brick wall works too – but nothing beats the fun and feedback of an Open Goaaal!

Football Goal Sizes Explained
Goals range from small 3-4 ft mini nets to full-size 24 ft regulation goals. Most parents choose:

  • The same size goal their kids use in matches
  • A full-size goal they can grow into

Short on space? Just get the largest goal that fits in your yard.

Types of Football Goals
Popular options include:

  • Pop-up goals - Lightweight and budget-friendly, but less durable
  • Plastic or metal frame goals - Good for frequent use
  • Training goals - Designed for solo practice and skills development

Tip: Watch videos of the goal in action before buying to make sure it's durable and fits your needs.

DIY Football Goals
Want to build your own? You can find DIY plans using wood, PVC, or metal. But buying a ready-made goal with a warranty and built-in backstop (like Open Goaaal) saves time and often performs better - without attracting termites.

Where to Set Up Your Goal
Best setup tips:

  • Use flat or evenly sloped ground
  • Place it on higher ground so the ball rolls back to you
  • Avoid swampy spots or garden areas
  • Keep away from anything fragile

Training Goals vs. Match Goals
Training goals are lighter, more affordable, and easier to set up.

  • Ideal for improving shooting, passing, and ball control
  • Easier to manage than a €3,500 match-grade goal
  • A great choice for backyard practice

Why Open Goaaal Stands Out
Open Goaaal combines three products in one:

  • Football Goal
  • Rebounder
  • Backstop

This 3-in-1 setup keeps balls from flying into the neighbor’s yard, helps improve footwork with rebounding drills, and makes training fun and frustration-free.

Open Goaaal® is a smart, space-saving solution for football families. Multiple sizes available. Backed by our Open Goaaal Guarantee. Helping kids train smarter and play better - right in their own backyard.
