Kids Soccer Goal Australia
Finding the right kids soccer goal in Australia comes down to three things: the right size for their age, safe for backyard use, and a design that makes solo practice possible. Open Goaaal ticks all three — and ships from our Australian warehouse.
What size soccer goal for kids?
Using the wrong size goal makes practice harder and less enjoyable. Here's a simple guide based on age and playing level:
| Age Group | Recommended Size | Open Goaaal Size |
|---|---|---|
| 5–8 years | 1.2m – 1.8m wide | Small (1.5m x 1.0m) |
| 8–12 years | 1.8m – 2.4m wide | Medium (2.4m x 1.2m) |
| 12–16 years | 2.4m – 3.7m wide | Medium or Large |
| 16+ / Adults | 3.7m x 1.8m (full size) | Large (3.7m x 1.8m) |
All sizes are internal goal-mouth measurements. If your child is between ages or growing fast, size up — Open Goaaal grows with them.
Why Open Goaaal is different for kids
Most kids soccer goals sold in Australia are just a frame and net. Open Goaaal adds a rebounder and backstop, which changes how kids can use it:
- Solo practice is actually possible — the rebounder returns the ball, so kids don't need a parent or sibling to retrieve every shot
- No more chasing the ball — the backstop behind the goal catches every miss. Your fence, garden, and neighbour's windows are safe.
- Keeps kids engaged longer — the automatic ball return makes repetition-based practice more fun and sustainable
Is it safe for backyard use?
Yes. The Open Goaaal frame uses a lightweight but strong construction that holds shape without being a rigid hard-edge hazard. The backstop is made from high-density netting that absorbs impact. It sits on grass or hard surfaces and is secured with ground pegs.
Australian delivery and warranty
Open Goaaal ships from our Australian warehouse. Delivery across Australia typically takes 3–7 business days. We also ship to New Zealand. All goals come with a manufacturer warranty and Australian-based customer support.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best kids soccer goal in Australia?
The best kids soccer goal for Australian backyards is one that includes a rebounder, so children can practise solo without an adult retrieving the ball after every shot. Open Goaaal is the only goal in Australia that includes a goal, rebounder, and backstop in one product.
What size soccer goal does my child need?
For children aged 5–8, the small size (1.5m x 1.0m) works well. For ages 8–12, the medium (2.4m x 1.2m) is ideal. Teens and older juniors suit the medium or large depending on available space.
Is the goal safe if kids play rough?
Yes. The Open Goaaal frame is designed for active backyard use. The backstop net absorbs stray shots and prevents the ball from leaving the yard. The frame pegs into the ground to prevent tipping.
Can my child use it without a parent present?
Yes. The rebounder means kids can practise shooting and passing repetitions without anyone else. The backstop catches every miss, so no supervision is needed to retrieve balls.
Do you ship soccer goals to regional Australia?
Yes. We ship to all Australian states and territories including regional areas. Delivery times to regional locations may be slightly longer than metro areas. We also ship to New Zealand.
Does it work on concrete or artificial turf as well as grass?
Yes. Open Goaaal can be set up on grass, synthetic turf, and most hard surfaces. Different anchor options are included depending on surface type.
