PUGG 6 Foot Portable Soccer & Football Goal Boxed Set

I'm a soccer coach and have been using the 6 ft. PUGG goals during training sessions for the last 10 years. I use them every practice. Twice a week during outdoor season, and up to ten practices a week during indoor season. These goals are perfect for small-sided practice scrimmages! I've used them for 6 v 6 scrimmages, but usually split the group up and have multiple 3 v 3 scrimmages going at the same time. These goals are also great for 1 v 1 and 2 v 2, and for various soccer drills.I personally own 4 sets of 6 ft. PUGG goals. Earlier this year I purchased 20 sets to be used for a soccerfest for 660 soccer players in the ages 6 thru 18. I got my first set of 6 ft. PUGG goals for my birthday 10 years ago. This set lasted for 8 years of abuse, when finally the attachment for the third peg ripped from the backside of the goal. I still use the set for indoor practices though.The PUGG goals come with three plastic anchoring pegs to stake down the goal. The pegs are attached to the goal with elastic bands. Two pegs are attached to the corners at the front of the goal and the third peg is attached to the back of the goal. I usually only anchor the goal down with the peg that is attached to the back of the goal, by staking it through the ring at the back of the goal and then into the ground. When it's very windy, then I anchor the goal that's facing the wind also down with the pegs attached to the front corners.Tell your players to never force the pegs into the ground with their cleats, because they will break! Always use your hands. When the ground gets hard after a long drought, I always look for dandelions and drive the pegs smoothly down into the ground through the center of the dandelion. In 10 years, I had to replace four pegs. I broke the first one myself (because I hadn't read the instructions that said not to force the pegs into hard ground). The other three broke when players used their cleats to force the pegs down into the ground. No worries though. Each set comes with three replacement pegs. And PUGG sells replacement pegs on their website ($7.95 for a set of 6).PROS:1) Very easy to set up and take down.2) Light weight. Weighing just 7 lbs per set.3) Compact. They fold into a teardrops shape with a length of 46 inch a width of 32 inch. Both goals flat into the carrying bag take approx. 1 inch.4) Easy to transport. Comes with carrying bag with carrying strap. You can easily carry three sets over one shoulder and still have your hands free to carry other equipment.5) Easy to store. The loop at the top of the teardrop shaped carrying case allows for hanging them from nail or hook flat on your garage wall.6) Pegs are attached to the goal with elastic bands so you won't loose them. (I also have a set of 6 ft. Fold-A-Goal pop-up goals, but those come with loose metal stakes that easily get lost.)7) Durability. My first set lasted for 8 years.8) All weather. Rain or shine.9) Excellent service. I contacted PUGG directly after receiving one of the goals with a peg that had an improperly manufactured elastic band. They sent me a set of replacement pegs free of charge.10) The kids love them!CONS:1) Pegs aren't indestructible. They will break when forced into hard ground.2) Goals will almost flatten in very strong winds. (However, they won't blow away when anchored into the ground with the pegs.)So in summary: Forget about playing with cone goals, get a set of PUGG goals! I highly recommend these goals to any and every coach, as well as to parents for their kids to use in the backyard.Note: When shopping for a set of PUGG goals, be aware of the fact that they also sell single goals. Double check that you are buying a set of two goals before finalizing your order!

I don't rate very many products, but given that we use these just about every day, I figured I should probably share my good experience.We bought some PVC goals about 2 years ago. They worked pretty well for awhile, but as time wore on they disintegrated. So for my son's 5th birthday we got this set of 2 PUGG goals. We've had them for a few months now, and they are working great. To make these last longer I wanted to be able to take them down after each use and put them away so the sun didn't destroy them. Just about every day my boys want to go out back and play soccer. It has not been a big hassle to put these away, and they are holding up great so far. I don't see a single sign of wear and tear so far. I have been very pleased.There are many pros to list, so I will be brief. 1) Good durability 2) Ease of setup 3) Features to stake the goal down are integrated and work well 4) The size of these is perfect when you have a kid (my oldest is 7) that wants to play goalie 5) The bag is easy to carry around and putting the goals in it can be done very quickly (although you do have to do both at once, one at a time will get the corner of the second one tangled in the net of the first) 6) Price - I did a fair amount of comparison shopping and being able to get these for $80 bucks was a great deal. Most of the time you have to buy these one at a time, and those will run $50-75. Getting a pair for $80 was great. And since the quality of these is so good, I don't expect needing to buy another goal for 10+ years.The one and only con I would give them is that the method to fold them back up might be an issue for someone more petite. I'm 6'5" and 200 pounds and it has taken a little practice to be able to twist these up and fold them back into a storable position. I could see someone with a smaller wingspan than I having trouble. Getting the 4 foot goals would probably be much easier. Also one adult and a 7-8 year old could probably tag team it really easily. The problem is that you have to grab one side and pull it, then with your other hand grab and twist the corner of the frame on the other side. Creating kind of a twisting scissor effect with your arms. Not even a big enough problem to knock it down a star, but worth mentioning to an online buyer.

Have been using these for years. Very well made and are a great small sided practice goal. I highly recommend purchasing these goals. A great addition to any coaches or trainers equipment. Easy to put up and take down. Make sure they are Puggs. There are a lot of other less quality goals out there that are a waste of money.

This product works well--as advertised. The only possible downside is that the goals can be blown over by a moderate wind. It is certainly possible to anchor them down though so this is a small criticism. Otherwise, the 6-foot goals work very well for small-sided games; I am currently using them with U19 players. The workmanship and quality of the goals themselves is high; they can take a lot of abuse. A good product for soccer coaches and players--worth the price.

These 6 ft soccer goals are the perfect addition for practice for both my U6 and U10 teams. They pop open and are easy to move around. Stakes are provided for keeping the goals in place. The goals fold flat for easy storage in the carry bag. Highly recommend this product.

This was one of our best purchases for our three boys. They get so much use, and dragged around our neighbourhood. It's been 1.5yrs since we bought these and they are still perfect, and have been through the wringer, thats for sure! :)

This is a quality product and exactly as described but be aware that it really is only suitable for small children. Any fully grown person that stands in front of it blocks most of the goal and makes it very hard to score in. I bought them hoping they would be good for a fun game in the park but unfortunately the hour long game yielded only 3 goals. Next time we'll have to go back to using jumpers for goalposts.

Top quality, exactly what we had hoped for. The nets are solidly built, and the kids are having a blast using them in our backyard. The convenient storage bag is easy to pack and unpack and takes up virtually no room so you can enjoy these soccer nets anywhere your soccer game takes you.

Just fits in back of a large car - rather large but ... goes every where with us. I have to carry the thing to the park every day. It attracts all the other kids for a game of football.. so cool and makes football friends.Doesn't rust in the garden as we bring it back in.The dad said what a waste of money but I have found its a must have buy now and he would agree.

Arrived within days! Good size for training my U14 Boys team. The carrying bag is a nice addition.
