Football Goal Nets Buying Guide

Your Football Goal Nets Buying Guide
This brief guide will give you all the info you need when buying football goal nets.
About Football Goal Nets

• The aim of a football goal net is to CATCH THE BALL WHEN A GOAL IS SCORED.  This means that the players no longer have to waste valuable playing time by running after the ball every time it gets kicked off the pitch.  It also saves any discrepancies as to whether a goal was actually scored or not.  A BALL IN THE NET CANNOT BE DISPUTED. 

Football Goal Nets Sizes Explained
The sizes for football goal nets are as follows:

• Full size adult goal nets are 24 x 8ft
• Junior size nets are 21 x 7ft

The other important thing to look at is the TOP RUNBACK MEASUREMENT. A runback is a bar that protrudes out from the top bar of the goal post to support and hold the net out in place. These can sometimes be found at the base of the goal too.

• If your goal posts have net supports then you need to order a net with the appropriate size top runback.
• If your goal posts DO NOT have net supports then you can purchase a net either with or without the top runback as any excess net will be lost when you peg it down.
• Any net with no top runback will only fit goal posts with no net supports

How To Connect Your Football Goal Nets

• There are certain accessories that you can purchase to make this job easier.

CLIPS - these clips simply attach to the frame of the goal post and the football net, holding it in place.
VELCRO - Velcro straps can wrap around the goal post and complete with the net, holding it in place
TIES - just like the Velcro, these tie around the post and the net.
PEGS can also be purchased to stake the net to the ground, giving it it's shape.
