Whatever the skill level or garden size, we’ve got the right football goal to inspire your footy-obessed kids
The Euros had the country gripped by football fever and, with a summer of Olympic games, there’s no shortage of inspirational sporting figures for children to look up to.
This means it should take little encouragement to get them outside for a kick-about in the garden or your local park.
Football can be enjoyed by children of all ages, and it's great for developing their fine and gross motor skills. Not many of us have a garden the size of a football pitch but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy some dribbling action in your outdoor space (mind the garden furniture).
Investing in a good quality football goal will give your budding sports stars something to aim their top bin shots at and will, perhaps, stop balls flying over fences or into your plants. Most goals are simple to assemble and can be fixed securely into the lawn, to stop them from toppling onto your children.
Whether your kids are just learning how to kick a ball, or are a bit older and have aspirations to be the next England captain, we’ve rounded up a range of football goals to suit.
Our tester’s seven- and five-year-olds are never far from a football, so, testing out the goals really wasn’t a hardship for them. In fact, it was probably a dream start to their summer holidays. Luckily, we had good weather in time for assembling the products and putting them through their paces. While the kids made us save their penalties as the goalkeeper, we considered how portable, stable and easy to assemble the goals were, and generally kept an eye out for those that offered good quality and value for money.
The Forza goal takes the winner’s trophy, as it’s made from strong PVC, so can withstand even the punchiest of penalty shootouts. It comes in a variety of sizes, too, to suit different gardens, and the net is good quality and easy to attach. The Kipsta kage is also a great choice if you’re looking for a goal you can take to the park. It’s portable, easy to assemble and comes at an excellent price.
