Full Version: Goals
Hey am thinking about getting a small goal for Christmas since I already screwed up the wall I was hitting against. Is there one in particular I should get. If you have made one could you tell me ways to do it. And this should probably go in the coaching section but will it affect my play if I hit into a small goal?
Hey Jon, It definetely will affect your accuracy if you get a small goal, IMO, get the litttle 1 foot goals, those are the best, and train your shot from a long range, Ill give you some cones, if you want to "improvise", and you lucky bastard, skipping the history test today! Hehe, well you'll fail tomorow! 
I made a small goal in my woodshop class. Its pretty cool cause I got to customize it, but ya whenever you are playing with a ball helps.
my dad bought me some rebound goals. if you know what a corvel net is its kind of like that but the net is tighter. i really cant tell the diffrence but the price is like 100 dollars cheaper. you can get them in all sizes, mine is 6 feet X 20 feet. so its pretty big.

Thanks guys
You can make your own too. I made some out of PVC pipes. I have two 5' x 5' -ish goals outside and I recently made two 20" x 20" to play inside the house. I bought some netting and cut it up to fit the goals outside. Now I need to buy some more for the ones inside.
It's really easy to make them. Just get some PVC pipes, cut them to the size you want, buy a few 90 degree elbows and connect the pieces of pipe.

Alright Ill try it
Im not very handy with woodwork but it sounds simple enoug
What tools do you need?
- PVC Piping
- 90 degree PVC elbows (# depends on how you wan't your goals to be)
- Hacksaw or pipe cutter (cuts through like it's butter)
- Metric tape
- sharpie (to mark where you're going to cut)
- netting
These are the basic shapes of the goals I made:
For the outdoor goals, I used 6 elbows and 4 "T"'s. For the indoor one, I just used 6 elbows.
The elbows connect the corners and the T's connect the pipes going diagonally from the top bar to the bottom one.
I used 1.5" thick pipes for the outdoor and 1" for indoor.
You can get most of this stuff (except for the netting) at any hardware store like Lowe's and Home Depot.
I'd take some pictures but I don't have a camera. I'll try to borrow one, though.

I dont know what the hell any of those are so if I print that off and ask someone at home depot will they know what Im talking about? And about how much will this cost?
For the two big ones, it cost me a little over $80 for both goals together. for the small ones it cost me less than $5.
I just did it to so I wouldn't have to spend a lot of money on just one goal. But if you don't know how to do it or don't think you're able to, just buy the already made goals.
I'm the type of person that like DIY (do it yourself) projects. If you're not really into that type of thing, then I recommend not doing it.

LOL ! LOL !!
cool topic...ive never thought about making a goal for myself, but its a pretty kl idea...
What the hell psyc Ill try it. I mean for five dollars its worth a try and if I mess up it isn't such a big deal. But if I do would you be so kind to send me like everything I need to know. Like a blueprint type thingy and step by step directions or w/e I need. If you dont wanna or dont have the time dont worry about it but if you could that would be great. I should be able to do it because I have mastered every single lego in my entire house.
And where can I get some netting?

Hmm, I'll see if I can make a tutorial. It would be a lot easier if I had a digi cam. I'll try to get my cousin to bring her's tomorrow and I'll take a pic of my goals and all the pieces.
I think you can find some netting on eBay. I bought a net for a goal that was about the same height and twice the width of mine (so I could cut it in half and use one net for both goals) but it was hard to put them on the goals since it was already made a certain way. So, I guess your best bet would be to get a piece of fishing net.

no problem you dont even have to do it if you dont wanna
I've been searching on google (no, I'm not the first one to do this) and I found some instructions from other sites.
Soccer Goal
You can make a soccer goal for about $30 in materials, and an hour of your time. Keep in mind, you don't have to do everything yourself. In fact, having people help you build various decorating items will involve new and fresh people in your children's ministry.
You'll Need:
Two 10-foot lengths of 1/2-inch PVC piping
A hacksaw or fine-tooth saw
6 PVC elbows or connectors.
Duct tape
Slip street hockey-size goal net (purchase at your local sporting-goods store)
NOTE: Add the slip sleeve netting as you connect each piece.
STEP 1: Use a hacksaw or other fine-tooth saw to cut one PVC pipe into two 51-inch lengths (the top bar and back bottom base), leaving 18 inches of scrap.
STEP 2: Cut the other pipe into two 40-inch lengths (for side bars) and two 20-inch lengths (side bottom base).
STEP 3: Place two elbows on either end of the 51 inch bottom back bar. Then connect one of the 20 inch pieces of piping to either end.
STEP 4: Insert an elbow on the open end of each 20 inch piece of piping. The open end of the elbow should be pointing up.
STEP 5: Secure one of the 40 inch pieces of piping into each open elbow. This will connect each piece to the base. Then, add an elbow to the top of each 40 inch piece.
STEP 6: Use the final 51 inch top bar to connect your 41 inch side posts. Wrap duct tape around each elbow for extra security.
EXTRA FUN: Set your goal up on your platform or in your foyer. Use the inflatable soccer balls (K-4011) and allow kids to take shots at the goal from various distances.

I really question the durability of these things. One hit to the post and there cooked.
I've hit it several times. If I hit it hard enough, the pipes disconnect. They don't become crooked. You can glue them together, but I'd rather have them unglued so I can store them if I need to.
Well, I finally bought a digital camera. I'll take some pictures later and I'll make a tutorial. 
That's good, I might want to make two as well.
