Are you an individual looking to create a real soccer stadium in your garden? Do you represent a soccer club or local authority and don't know which soccer cage to choose to equip your pitches? In this guide, we'll help you choose the right soccer equipment for your needs from the innovative, 100% resistant range developed by Netsportique professionals.

How to choose the right soccer cage for your needs?

What size soccer cage should I choose?

The dimensions of a professional soccer cage are governed by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) regulations. Large soccer cages for adult or youth competitions (from the U14/U15 category in France) must measure 7.32 meters wide by 2.44 meters high. If your club hosts 11-a-side soccer competitions or training sessions, you'll need to choose soccer cages of this size to comply with current European standards.

At Netsportique, we offer a wide range of 11-a-side soccer goals at the best prices, including :

Naturally, the size of the goals for your soccer pitches depends on the age of the players who will be using them:

For young footballers in clubs from U10 to U13 categories : cages are indeed smaller and should measure 6 meters wide by 2.10 meters high, like the folding aluminum model.
As for the little ones, they can reproduce the exploits of their favorite soccer stars thanks to the mini soccer cages.

What are the best cages for children?

Children's soccer requires the right sports equipment. As a soccer club, the width and height of your cages should be compatible with the size of your young members. This will make it easier for them to score goals, and for the goalkeepers to stop opposing shots.

Netsportique offers a wide range of quality soccer goals for children at attractive prices:

If you're looking for a children's soccer goal to play in your garden, you'll want to choose a sturdy model:

whether it's the 2.40 x 1.50-meter fun children's soccer goal
the Powershot 1.50 x 1-meter folding mini soccer goal
or the Netsportique 2.70 x 1.50-meter soccer goal, you'll find the right equipment for your needs, at excellent value for money.

With or without a goalkeeper, your budding footballer can play on his own or with friends, and have fun kicking his soccer ball into the net.

These products are ideal for private individuals wishing to reproduce a soccer stadium in their garden, as well as for local authorities wishing to equip school playgrounds or private establishments specializing in indoor soccer.

products such as the 4 x 2 m aluminum transportable soccer goal
or the 4 x 2 m cast-in-place aluminum soccer goal

for example, feature sturdy posts and a crossbar to withstand all ball-strikes.

What material should you choose for your goal?

To be installed outdoors, whether in a garden or a schoolyard, all soccer goals need to be resistant. This is particularly true of steel and aluminum models. These materials can withstand a wide range of weather conditions, including rain, wind, frost and snow. To equip your 11-a-side soccer pitch with sports equipment that will stand up to the elements season after season, opt for a sealed stadium soccer goal. Available in galvanized steel or aluminum for a longer lifespan, this product can be supplied complete with net and lifting system.

Essential accessories to complete your equipment

Various accessories are essential for effective use of your metal or aluminum soccer cage, starting with the net. The net must be easy to attach and strong enough to withstand the power of shots. To this end, you should opt for quality nylon nets, designed to stop soccer balls for many years.

Likewise, a lifting system will enable you to keep the net on the ground during training sessions or competitions, and lift it easily when it's time to maintain the soccer pitch. If you opt for a mobile goal, you'll need :

an anchoring system to prevent it from tipping over.
you can also choose to use a ballast weight to comply with federal standards when using the transportable cage in official matches.
Soccer goal wheels are particularly useful if you need to move your equipment regularly, whether to make room for other players on a multi-sports pitch or to design fun, dynamic training sessions.

Foldable, transportable or sealable soccer cage?

The ease with which a soccer cage can be set up, stored and transported is an essential criterion for choice. For competitive soccer, it's essential to select a goal that can be embedded in the ground.

For 7-a-side or 8-a-side soccer, there are also folding models. These folding goals are practical in the sense that they allow children to practice and play on half a pitch, before being stored away to make room for the older ones. We also offer a wide range of transportable soccer cages that are easy to move, for children and adult players alike.

Models from the Powershot brand, such as the professional 11-a-side soccer goal or the aluminum 8-a-side soccer goal, are suitable for all types of football and are available at attractive prices. At Netsportique, you'll also find folding mini goals that are easy to store in the garage or clubhouse. One example is the Powershot aluminum mini soccer goal.

This innovative product can be set up in a matter of seconds, and is just as suitable for youth training as it is for seniors, or for individuals looking for space-saving equipment.
