Official goal sizes for ages in Soccer, Futsal, Tennis, Hockey, Volleyball and more
Posted by RICHARD TINKER
Confused by the wide range of goals available? You've come to the right place!
A pro’s guide to goal sizes for your sport and age group.
The ever-increasing ranges of portable goals means that it is all getting a little confusing. What should be easy, is now a list of companies trying to sell all types of crazy goals, rebounders, nets and barriers. You don’t need every portable goal out there. Heck, unless you are a sports club, you probably only need one, maybe two goals (good for backyard games). But, how do you know which goal is right for you and your age?
What size soccer goal do I need for a 9 year old? What size goal do u7s use? And what is the age & size of a full size goal?
To get things started, if you are looking for the right type of goal for you or your club, then read about what to look for in a portable goal or net. It is jam packed full of useful info on portable goals and knowing what to look for when purchasing your goal. We also have info on what is best for clubs, training and home use. We like to think that SUMMIT is the one-stop info shop for all your portable goals, rebounders/reflex nets and barriers.
But, if you just want to know the right size portable goal for sports like soccer, hockey, baseball, futsal and volleyball, then look no further than here. For we have put together a comprehensive list of portable goal sizes to make things clear and simple when researching for your next goal purchase.
Official Goal Sizes by Sport and Age - Metric and Imperial
First things first. Every sport, age and discipline have their own correct size goal or net. For example, Football Australia regulates that each age-group uses specific goals, but be aware that outdoor soccer is different to futsal (Indoor soccer) and they require different size goals. FIFA also has a set of standards, but then gives each country allowances for juniors and kids.
So always keep in mind that you need to know what you are using the goal for.

hello,
I’m enquiring about Soccer Nets, Volleyball Nets, Tennis Nets for our Recreational Centre on a mining village camp. For adult use only.
Tennis and volleyball will be on a multipurpose full size court. The soccer nets will be on an outdoor futsal court.
Something sturdy as will be exposed to the elements all day. And get a lot of use, by mostly adult men.
Thank you,
Wondesen On
Soccer is my favourite !!
