Yes. All custom work must be pre-paid and is non-returnable.

Custom size nets:

  • Various height, width, top depths, and back depths
  • Custom mesh sizes

Other common requests:

  • Striped nets
  • Checkered nets
  • Logo nets

A few notes regarding logo nets:

  • We can print letters and simple logos on a custom net with small mesh
  • We can print logos and text on windscreen that we sew on to the net
  • NCAA approved logos on soccer nets

The net’s intended use:

  • Indoor facilities with high traffic for shots would require a higher strength net with a smaller mesh
  • Higher strength nets are also recommended for facilities where multiple sports are played

Life of the net:

  • Stronger nets with smaller mesh last longest
  • Our most common mesh size, 2-inches, sees an average life span of 3-7 years

Available colors:

  • There are certain materials that nets only come in specific colors
  • We can paint colors onto the net but it gets expensive and will wear over time
  • We recommend getting a net in a standard color with the size that best fits your needs
  • You can get checkered or striped nets but can get very expensive

Yes, in instances where you can’t find exactly what you are looking for we may be able to build custom goals for your needs. For example, we have built low and wide goals for coaches to use in training activities where shooting is emphasized. We have been asked for these so frequently that we finally wised up and made a standard goal that is 2.5′ high and 9′ wide. We call it the Widemouth Goal. And, bonus, we can still custom make these beauties for you in other sizes and colors.

One of our most common requests is for a Box-style Soccer Goal to fit in front of football goal posts. If need be we can often shorten the overall depth of the soccer goal to fit. However, if you have 7’ or more of depth we can provide our standard box-shaped soccer goal to fit in front of the football field goal post.

For goals with a shorter back depth, you can add pads to cover the back and side bottom bars as a safety measure.

A wheel can only go in one direction at a time because it has a single axis. A caster wheel has a wheel PLUS a mounting system that holds the wheel. There are two kinds of casters, fixed casters, (sometimes also referred to as rigid casters) and swivel casters. Rigid casters are best for things that only need to go forward and backward. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees and thus can be used to turn objects. The caster wheels we use on our soccer goals are swivel casters.

  • You can have your entire goals painted to coordinate with your club or school colors to add a professional look to your fields and build a school or club spirit. Some do this purely for aesthetic value. It just looks cool. Some do this for more practical reasons; to label fields for games, tournaments, or camps to help players, staff, and parents identify where they are supposed to be quickly and easily. (For example, you could label your fields yellow-north, yellow-south, and use yellow goals on these fields, red-east, red-west, and use red goals on these fields, etc.)
  • You could choose to add just a pop of color to a portion of a goal. The backup posts on our box-style Stadium Cup Goals are a popular spot for this. Choose to paint your backup posts to coordinate with your club or school colors to help brand your stadium and make your goals pop! Some choose to just paint the crossbar and uprights a different color, and some may choose to paint only the backstays on a traditional style goal.
  • For goals that won’t be used for official competitions some opt to add stickers to add color with their club logo. (Note: for official competition goals the use of stickers is regulated.) There are so many possibilities!

Sometimes soccer goals need to fit in front of things like a football goal post. Sometimes a custom back bar is needed on the soccer goal so it can fit. For example, a common request is a soccer goal with a custom back bar that has a ‘cut-out’ piece that can go around a football goalpost. It’s not uncommon for a high school football goalpost to have a 6′ overhang and many soccer goals have an 8′ back depth.  But if you want a goal with a normal back depth customizing the back bar to accommodate the football goalpost is an option.

  • Bolt the goal to the ground – base plates are welded onto the base of the goal to secure the goal to the ground
  • Secure the goal to a wall, base plates are welded to the backstays of the goal to secure the goal to the wall
  • Fabricate the goal with additional weight built into the frame of the goal.
  • Add additional weight to the goal using anchor weights. Please note that anchor weights can be easily moved and need to be monitored to make sure they remain on the goals at all times!
