Backyard Soccer Goal 7x5, 5x3.6, 4x3, 3x2.2 ft - Portable Kids

In this review of the Backyard Soccer Goal from Dimples Excel, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a lightweight, easy-to-use goal designed for kids aged 6 and above and families who want a portable practice target for backyard sessions. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of durable net material and a collapsible, pop-up frame that makes everyday skill practice simple to set up and store. The reviewer found it ideal for short training drills, casual play and quick setups at parks or in small yards.

Key Features

• Eco conscious packaging: Orders no longer include a carrying bag to reduce greenhouse emissions while the goal remains portable enough to store without one.
• Easy pop-up setup: The goal pops up and folds down quickly so kids can start drills with minimal adult time spent on assembly.
• Durable net: The net is made from thicker Dacron material offering more tear resistance than common goal nets for longer use.
• Lightweight frame: Improved fiberglass poles keep the overall weight low while providing good strength for backyard play.
• Portable size: Designed and tested for a folded size that fits small car trunks and is comfortable to carry to parks or playgrounds.
• Kid-safe guidance: Intended for children aged 6 and older with an adult recommended during use to avoid small-part hazards.

Who It's For

This goal is best for families with young players practicing basic shooting, passing and small-sided games in a backyard, driveway or local park. Coaches or parents who want a quick, low-friction practice option will appreciate the fast setup and compact folded size.

It is not intended as a full-size competitive goal for older youth or adult league play; serious teams needing regulation frames and anchoring for heavy use should consider larger, more permanent equipment.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight and truly portable, making spontaneous practice easy.
• Sturdy Dacron netting holds up better than thinner nets in casual use.
• Fiberglass poles keep the frame strong yet simple to fold and carry.
• Compact folded footprint fits easily in small trunks and storage areas.

Cons

• No carrying bag included, which saves emissions but means buyers must handle transport without a dedicated case.
• Designed for kids 6 and up, so it is too small for older teens or adult training needs.
