Franklin Sports Blackhawk Backyard Soccer Goal - Portable Pop Up Soccer Nets - Youth + Adult Folding Indoor + Outdoor Goals - Multiple Sizes + Colors

I don't normally write reviews, but my sons love this goal so much that I wanted to come back to leave a review. We got the 12' by 6' goal in yellow as a Christmas gift for them - they wanted a full sized soccer goal but I wanted something affordable and my husband wanted something easy to move when he needs to mow the yard. This has been perfect for our 8 and 10 year olds. They feel like it's big enough to really practice their skills but it is also easy for them to set it up, move it, and do the stakes into the ground without help. We had a pole somehow break and the seller offered to send us a replacement part when I reached in - super pleasant and easy! Highly recommend

I bought two sets of these goals to use for pick-up games with our soccer club because these are an amazon best-seller and are marketed as pop-up goals. However, it turns out that only the smallest size is a pop-up goal and the larger goals need to be built and broken down every time you want to use them. It's not difficult to assemble these goals, but it's not quick either, especially for the largest size. We tried to save time by keeping the poles in the net and breaking them most of the way down, but that just makes transport a hassle. We have another set of large goals (12x6 roughly) that I was trying to replace with these BlackHawk goals, but the assembly for our older set of goals is much faster and they take up less space in the car. The construction quality on these goals is also very poor. On pretty much all of the goals that we received, we started to get tears in the lining after one use. It's really difficult for me to see how these could possibly last for more than one season, given the poor quality. These are also meant to be pretty lightweight for easy transport, but that also means that they don't really stand up to the wind. We played with the 12x6 BlacHawk goals on a slightly breezy day and they were collapsing from the wind. The goals come with little pegs to keep the goal in the ground, but that won't stop them from folding up on themselves with a little wind. The only reason I could see for buying these goals would be if you needed something relatively cheap that you wanted to set up in the back yard and never move. These are not pop-up goals. They are not fast to build or take apart. They are not easy to transport. They are not durable at all. And if you blow on them too hard they will collapse. You should really spend your money on something else.

This is the second time I've bought 2 of these nets. I purchased a set for our team coach, and I've just bought another set for our new coach. They are large, easy to transport, and easy to set up. They require setup and teardown, but for the price, it's a great deal. My daughter plays on U10 teams, and this is the size they use in the games.

The introductions were easy to read. Has a really solid base when set up completely and it's easy to move when you need to. The sturdiness is there and it has a really solid net. For the price it's definitely worth it. My only complaint is that while setting this up the poles kept detaching as I was trying to slide the net through the poles.

We bought two of these to hold rec soccer practice at a park with no goals. We figured if we could get through a season or two of practices, it would be worth the balance of affordability, portability, and having two 12x6 goals to hold 7v7 scrimmages. At the time of purchase, we coached two teams: u12 boys and u10 girls, so they received HEAVY use. We have now used these goals for 6 seasons, now entering our 7th season with them. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: -They are durable enough for the price you pay. As I said, we got much more use from them than we ever intended. -They hold up to pretty heavy use. We had two teams playing with them on a weekly basis (the boys have since aged out of rec) but the girls still use one of the goals. One of them was trashed after poles cracked at the ends to the point duct tape was no longer feasible. -We even used these goals a few times for adult pickup games and they held up just fine. Remember though they are portable goals and the ball will bounce harmlessly to the ground of you strike a post or the crossbar so if you are ultra competitive you will not get the performance out of them you desire. We have played competitive adult leagues on "high-end" portable goals, and the performance was actually quite similar in-game. The portability of the better product was far superior though. -Overall, these were serviceable goals and I feel like we got well beyond our money's worth from them. Cons: -As it has been mentioned in a few other comments, it takes some imaginative engineering with duct tape to keep them in service if you use them as portable goals. Before each season we would patch cracks in the fiber glass with duct tape and even tape the lengths so they wouldn't some apart, leaving on the corners as collapsible. We could still fit them in our SUV this way, but they wouldn't be able to collapse enough to fit into as sedan or smaller once we taped them to keep them usable. -The fiber glass WILL dig into your hands after the first few uses. I put leather work gloves in my gear bag for the purpose of putting the goals up. -They are cumbersome to put-up/take down. They would be best serviced to be left in place for longer periods of time, and we found ways of partially taking them down and rolling them up without completely breaking down the poles and taking them out of the net's framing. It helped set-up time, but it was still kind of pain. It was even easier to do this when we taped the joints, but at the sacrifice of staying compact when disassembled. Overall, these are fine. They are less portable than you would think as the set up-up/take down can be cumbersome, especially when the poles start shedding fiberglass slivers. If you are a temporary coach volunteering to make sure there are enough teams for all of the kids, or if you only have a season or two left before the kids age out or go competitive these are perfect. If you are in for the long haul or are coaching a competitive team, you would be best served investing in a better product that will last and be easier to move. If you are looking for something for the backyard, buy something more stationary because these are neither TRULY portable and are certainly not durable enough to withstand the elements for long stretches.

Perfect

Cheap fiberglass leaves you with splinters every time you put it together or take it apart. Bought 2. One had the netting break within 5 uses. The synthetic fiber that the poles are pushed through does not hold up well. The rest of the net held up just fine. Another one I got was obviously used & repacked when I got it, which is probably more of a seller problem than a product problem. I ended up returning the broken one and painted the fiberglass on the remaining one so I wouldn't get splinters every time. I feel like the price was high for the low quality of the product.

Great easy to set up goal. Large enough for good practice and small games.

Muy practica y recomiendo la portería, muy buen tamaño y fácil de instalar

Works well as a net. I bought this thing to save my fence. Kids are destroying it with the soccer balls. It's doing a good job so far. I would not use it as a portable net though. Its very flimsy the poles will definitely not handle that abuse.

No comprar! El tubo principal que sonstiene la porteria se enredara con la parte verde que lo cubre por que la red es demasiado grande y hay parte sobrante adentro de el. El tubo se atorara y la liga adentro de el tambien asiendo un nudo espantoso imposible de desaser por que esta adentro de la tela verde

We haven’t even had this net for 2 months and it’s already broken. We used the net 2 times and it’s already broken. The way it is built it is not meant to be built and taken down even tho it says you can do this. The first time we took it down it was giving us so many problems. The netting is super cheap and unties, and the elastic that goes inside the poles gets tangled in with the net making it impossible to use after the first time. We are very disappointed as this cost over $100 and our son can’t even use it anymore.

Es muy grande, a mi hijo le gustó mucho
