Are your Soccer goals safe? Goal Safety PDF from Kwikgoal

Soccer Goal Safety 

A safe soccer season does not happen by chance. It happens by choice.

 Help keep players safe.

  • Instruct players and PARENTS on the potential dangers associated with movable or portable goals.
  • Always inspect goals before each match or practice.
  • Insure goals are safely anchored to the ground. (see anchor styles below)
  • Insure there are no sharp objects. Do not use "Zip Ties" to secure nets. Use hook and loop ( velcro (R) ) straps or some other soft edged means of attaching nets to goals.
  • Insure goals are free of defects
  • Never allow anyone to climb or hang on goals.
  • Always use extreme caution when moving goals.
  • When goals are not in use, always chain and lock goals up against a fence post or secure object so that goals cannot fall over. Nets should be taken off.

Styles of Goal Anchors

Auger-style anchors that are screwed into the ground. Semi-permanent anchors, which require a permanently secured base buried underground with the use of tethers or bolts to secure the goal. Peg, stake or j-hook style anchors that are driven into the ground. Sandbags or counterweights for indoor facilities
