Youth Soccer Goals

Youth soccer goals should match the age group in front of them, not the full-size frame at the other end of the field. This collection covers youth soccer goals for sale in two recreational sizes from Gared: 4' x 6' and 4-1/2' x 9' Galactico goals in white, both sold as pairs. Pricing runs $2,410 to $2,693 per pair. Use the sizing and setup notes below to decide which mouth width fits your field, your storage space and your practice format before you compare the two options above.

Youth soccer goals for sale: what this collection covers

Every youth soccer goal listed here is a Gared Galactico recreational model in white, and each listing is a pair — two goals per order, enough to set up both ends of one field. Two sizes are stocked: a 4' x 6' pair and a 4-1/2' x 9' pair (SG3RD459PTW). Pricing across the collection runs $2,410 to $2,693 per pair, which works out to roughly $1,205 to $1,347 per goal.

Both models are described as recreational goals rather than competition frames, so they are aimed at training, physical education, park and rec programs, and small-sided scrimmages. If a league or state association specifies exact goal dimensions for match play, check those numbers against the sizes below before you order.

What size soccer goal do I need?

Goal size is the first decision, and for youth soccer it comes down to the age group, the width of the playing area and how much space you have behind the goal line. Junior soccer goals for sale in the US are normally described as height by width, so a 4' x 6' goal stands four feet tall and spans six feet across. The two options here differ mainly in mouth width, which changes how hard the goal is to defend and how much run-off you need.

Size	Sold as	Best suited to
4' x 6'	Pair	Youngest players, small-sided grids, tight practice areas, limited storage
4-1/2' x 9'	Pair	Older youth groups, wider practice fields, shooting and finishing work

A practical rule: the goal should be big enough that a keeper cannot cover the whole mouth standing still, but small enough that the target stays proportional to the players. If you run several age groups on one facility, some programs buy both sizes and swap them by session rather than compromising on a single width.

Soccer goals for schools, parks and rec programs

Buying soccer goals for schools works differently from buying for a backyard. Pair pricing simplifies procurement — one line item equips a field — and recreational-grade frames are meant for repeated everyday use by mixed age groups rather than for a single tournament weekend. Before you submit a requisition, confirm three things: how many fields you are outfitting, where the goals live between sessions, and who is responsible for moving and securing them.

Storage is the constraint most programs underestimate. A 4-1/2' x 9' frame needs meaningfully more room along a wall or in a shed than a 4' x 6', and goals left at the edge of a field unsupervised invite climbing. If your storage is tight or your custodial help is limited, the smaller size is usually the more realistic purchase.

Setup, anchoring and everyday safety

Any goal that is not permanently mounted has to be anchored. Youth players hang on crossbars, and an unsecured frame can tip forward under that load, so anchoring is not optional — follow the method and hardware specified in the instructions supplied with your model, and check the anchors at the start of every session. Ground conditions matter too: soft turf, hard-packed dirt and synthetic surfaces each call for different anchoring hardware.

Set the goals on level ground with clear run-off behind the line, keep them away from fences, poles and parking areas, and move them out of open play space when the field is not in use. Assign one person responsibility for setup and takedown so it does not get skipped on a busy practice night.

How to compare youth soccer goals before you buy

Mouth dimensions — match them to your age groups and to any dimensions your league requires.
Per goal or per pair — listings in this collection are pairs, so compare like with like when you price other options.
What ships with the goal — check the individual product page to confirm exactly what is included with your order.
Portability — decide whether the goals stay in place all season or get moved daily, since that changes who can handle them.
Storage footprint — measure the space you actually have before committing to the larger size.
Budget per field — at $2,410 to $2,693 per pair, a two-field facility should plan on roughly $4,800 to $5,400.

The best youth soccer goals for your program are the ones that fit your field, your storage and your age groups. Working through those six points usually narrows the choice quickly: most youth programs land on the 4' x 6' pair for the youngest ages and everyday practice, and step up to the 4-1/2' x 9' pair when older players need a wider target.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size soccer goal do I need?

Match the goal mouth to your field and age group. This collection carries two options: a 4' x 6' pair for the youngest players, tight practice grids and backyard-scale space, and a 4-1/2' x 9' pair for a wider shooting target as players grow. Measure your available run-off behind each goal first, then confirm any dimensions your league requires.

How expensive is a soccer goal?

Youth soccer goals in this collection run $2,410 to $2,693 per pair, or roughly $1,205 to $1,347 per goal. That span covers the two Gared Galactico recreational sizes, and every price on this page is for two goals rather than one — enough to outfit both ends of a single field. Check each listing for its current price.

What is a goal in soccer called?

The structure itself is called the goal, though you will also hear net, cage or goalmouth used informally. It consists of two uprights (posts), a horizontal crossbar, and a net attached to the frame. Scoring by putting the ball fully across the line between the posts and under the bar is also called a goal — same word, two meanings.

Do these work for U8 and U10 teams?

Both sizes are built for recreational and training use, so they fit U8 and U10 practices, small-sided scrimmages and PE sessions well. The 4' x 6' pair suits the youngest groups and tight grids; the 4-1/2' x 9' pair gives older youth players a wider target. For sanctioned league matches, check your state association's required goal dimensions before ordering.

Can schools and park districts buy these soccer goals?

Yes — these pairs are a practical fit for schools, park districts and rec programs. Ordering by the pair means one purchase order equips a full field, and the recreational build is aimed at everyday PE and after-school use rather than tournament play. Schools with limited storage should compare the two footprints, since the 4' x 6' frame takes up less space.

Do you carry Jaypro soccer goals?

No — this collection currently carries Gared goals only, specifically the Galactico recreational pairs in 4' x 6' and 4-1/2' x 9'. If you are cross-shopping brands, compare on goal dimensions, on whether the price quoted is per goal or per pair, and on what each listing states is included, since a pair listing like ours covers both ends of the field.

Do youth soccer goals need to be anchored?

Anchoring matters on any goal that is not permanently mounted, because unsecured frames can tip when players hang on the crossbar. Follow the anchoring method specified in the manufacturer's instructions for your model, secure both goals before every session, and store them out of play areas when the field is not in use. Never let players climb or swing on the frame.
