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

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.

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 soccer goal is a great size for backyard practice and casual games. It is easy to set up and fold away when it is not being used. The portable design makes it convenient to move around, and it has been a nice addition for outdoor activities.

We bought these nets for my son's soccer team to use at practice a couple times a week. The get an A+ for being sturdy as they constantly have 8 year olds messing with them, running into them, etc and they haven't had any issues with breaking. They fold up nicely into their carrying bags and are easy to throw in the back of the car and transport. I would say they are somewhat of a pain to assemble and disassemble. Once you know what you are doing it gets easier, but could still take 5 mins to put up or take down. The problem is there are simply alot of separate pole sections that have to connect to each other, and often when you are putting 2 sections together, another section comes loose, or vice vera. Having two people makes it far easier, but can still cause frustration. That said, I do like the nets. I have a smaller sized one that is easier to put together because it has fewer pole sections in total, and then the larger 9 foot goals which are a bit more cumbersome but still good. After several months of hard use and being set up and taken down multiple times a week, the only issues are a couple spots where there is some fraying along some seams, but nothing that has caused any structural issues. Good product, I would buy it again.

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.

First I recieved a product that was defective: the string holding the cubes together on one section was cut. I was able to get a replacement but then realized why the string might have been cut. Putting the goal together is confusing. Goal worked great while setup so gave it a star. Taking it apart the string in one section got stuck and you can properly assemble or disassemble and I wanted to cut the string because I was so frustrated hence probably what happen to the defective product I recieved first. Now we havent reused the product as its sitting in the box a tangled mess and the one part with the stuck string that I will cut once I get the patience to deal with this disaster of a product again. If you set this up and never plan to take down its great. If you have to setup and take down its a chaotic disaster waiting for you. Its also fiber glass so handle with gloves and beware or you will have a hand full of fiber splinters waiting to ruin your day. If you set it up and dont plan on everything disassembling then this is the goal for you. If not, then skip.

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.
