Professional Goalposts & Padding

Durable Poles and Supports for Goalposts, Built for Competitive Play

When coaches and facility managers search for durable poles and supports for goalposts, they're usually comparing pole gauge, offset distance, and mounting style — and that's exactly how this collection is organized. Nearly every goal post here is a Jaypro product, engineered around a heavy-wall steel pole in three diameters (4-1/2 in., 5-9/16 in., and 6-5/8 in.) so you can match pole strength to your program's level of play, from youth and high school fields up to college programs that need the largest 6-5/8 in. pole with an 8 ft. offset. The one non-Jaypro item in the group, the Douglas Quality Professional Steel Foul Poles, gives baseball facilities a second brand option at the foul line.

Football Goal Posts: Pole Diameters, Offsets, and Widths Explained

The bulk of this collection is Jaypro football goal posts, and the titles spell out exactly what you're buying: pole diameter, offset length, upright height, crossbar width, and mounting type. Widths are split into two standard configurations — 18 ft.-6 in. wide (labeled [C] for college) and 23 ft.-4 in. wide (labeled [HS] for high school) — plus an expandable crossbar option for fields that need to switch between the two. Offsets run 5 ft., 6 ft., or 8 ft., and uprights come in 20 ft. or 30 ft. heights, so you can pick a goal post sized to your stadium's sightlines and budget.

• Pole diameter: 4-1/2 in., 5-9/16 in., or 6-5/8 in. — heavier poles generally pair with taller uprights and wider offsets for varsity and college fields.
• Width: 18 ft.-6 in. [C] college width or 23 ft.-4 in. [HS] high school width; expandable crossbar models let one goal post serve both.
• Mounting: Leveling bases for adjustable installs, or semi-permanent bases for a fixed, in-ground setup.
• Uprights: 20 ft. or 30 ft., depending on visibility needs and local codes.

If you're outfitting a full stadium, add a set of Jaypro Football Field Markers (free-standing orange pylons, 18 in. H x 4 in. W x 4 in. D, sold as a set of four) and Jaypro Wind Streamers for the goal uprights to help players and officials read wind conditions on kicks.

Foul Poles for Baseball and Softball

For diamond sports, the collection carries Jaypro Foul Poles in both baseball and softball versions. Baseball foul poles are available in 20 ft. and 30 ft. professional surface-mount styles finished in high-visibility yellow, while the softball foul pole is a 30 ft. professional surface-mount pole. The Douglas Quality Professional Steel Foul Poles offer an alternative steel construction for programs that prefer that brand at the foul line. All are designed for permanent installation along the outfield fence line rather than portable use.

Rugby Goals and Field Hockey Goals

Beyond football and baseball, JoySportStore carries Jaypro Rugby Goals sized to regulation 32 ft. H (9.8 m) x 18 ft.-4 in. W (5.6 m), available in either surface-mount or permanent installation, both finished in white. For field hockey programs, the Jaypro Field Hockey Goal Package delivers an official 7 ft. H x 12 ft. W x 4 ft. D goal built from 2 in. x 2 in. square aluminum tubing with bottom boards, sized to NFHS specifications. These aluminum and steel goals are meant for club, school, and college fields where regulation dimensions matter.

Choosing the Right Mounting: Leveling, Semi-Permanent, and Surface Mount

Mounting style is one of the biggest differences between goal post models in this collection, and it affects both installation labor and long-term stability. Leveling bases let ground crews fine-tune the post's plumb after installation, which is useful on fields with uneven grading. Semi-permanent bases anchor the post in a fixed sleeve for a sturdier, longer-term setup that's still removable for off-season storage or field resurfacing. Surface-mount foul poles and rugby goals, by contrast, bolt directly to a fence line or base plate rather than being set into the ground, which simplifies installation on existing structures. Match the mounting type to how often your field changes configuration — permanent programs generally favor semi-permanent or fixed rugby goals, while multi-sport facilities often lean on leveling bases and surface-mount hardware for flexibility.

Who This Collection Is For

With prices spanning $57 for accessories like wind streamer sets up to $22,462 for full goal post systems, this collection serves everyone from youth leagues adding field markers to college athletic departments installing regulation football, rugby, and field hockey goals. Jaypro's range of pole diameters, offsets, and widths means high schools and colleges can each find a spec-correct match, while Douglas gives baseball facilities a second foul pole brand to compare against Jaypro's yellow surface-mount poles.
