QUICKPLAY Kickster Elite Portable Soccer Goal | Integrated Weighted Base for Training on Turf, Hard Floors or Grass | Sizes 5x3', 6x4', 12x6', 16x7', & 3x2M [Single Goal]

My grandson loves this professional size net. Great for practicing at home.

I ordered two 12x6 QUICKPLAY Kickster Elite Portable Soccer Goal sets on 04/22/2022, about three weeks ago. Since we got the goal sets, we have use them in 4 weekend pick up games, 4 Boys' U10-12 league practices during weekend, and for several casual play/training in a few cases.So now I am quite good at setting up this goal now. The setup is super easy -- as a matter of fact I cannot think of any other goal set being easier to setup. Basically you need to clip in 4 base bars, then connect two base joints, plug in two bars on each side, then hook on net -- total 12 places to hook up net steady. The material used for bars and wire/hook are in great quality -- top notch. Usually other parents/players helped me to set up the goal together, so far I heard from them are all compliments -- for the high quality goal set. Indeed this goal set deserve all the praise. No complaint at all.After we received the two goal set we went out to test one goal set first. And immediately found the chain connecting four base bar was off for one bar, so one bar is separated from other three still linked together 3 bars. I tried to push back the chain inside the tube to connect 4 bars together again, but it is hard. I thought this is a faulty part so I came back requesting an exchange on amazon. To my surprise the reply was I can keep the goal and Quickplay will send me a new set! wow, what a great customer service!! if I can give 6 star review I won't hesitate to do so!The goal is heavy in the bag, but I don't think it is problem. It is "weighted base" after all. Once setup, it is very sturdy. we can shoot ball hard to the net in short distance and it's like the goal set doesn't feel a thing. At first I hammer in the U-shape pikes to help the goal sturdy, now I feel unless there is strong wind and the goal is facing wind, I don't need to use the four pikes (for each set).This goal set is truly amazing. I recommend this goal set to anyone who is looking for great high quality goal set, wholeheartedly.

I wish I had invested in this earlier. But I went through 2 sets of cheap plastic in the range of 20-30 bucks. This will definitely serve for 2-3 years at which point I’ll need a bigger size. The design and quality are excellent! The size is perfect for no goalie play for U5-U6-possibly even U7. If your kid is passionate about soccer, definitely get it early. You’ll end up saving money. I got two and carry them in the trunk all the time. We play almost every day, every other day for sure! Can’t be more satisfied!

I really wanted to give this goal a great 5-STAR review because it seems so functional and is probably the easiest goal of this size (12x6 feet) to set up and take down, but there is a fundamental flaw with the base that makes it almost unusable for turf or cement, and even affects its stability in grass. In the video for this goal it says:“Now the first issue that we wanted to address with this was stability on astroturf. So if you come in, I’ll show you what we’ve done. We’ve actually put about a kilo and a half of steel in each side of this--this is our 12x6--combined with this rubber base-weight at the front and back. The goal is actually stable without any weighting.”The ad-title for this goal literally says that it is a "Goal with Weighted Base". Unfortunately, the base is not 1.5 kilos/side nor does it have any rubber base-weights (see attached pics) as it claims in the video. Consequently, the goal is not stable on astroturf or cement/blacktop. The goal looks great and is easy to set up, which is why it is getting 1 star, but it is pretty useless since it will not stay in place as it should when shots are made.The model that was sent to me has U-stakes that can be put in the ground along the base, so if you are looking for something to use in grass and are willing to keep track of the U-stakes and stake it in each time, then this is probably the right goal for you. However, if you want a goal that is stable without having to be staked down (the way this one is advertised), then look at some of the other goals that have a more “boxy” look to them. Those do not need to be staked down, but they are not as easy to set up and take down as this one.I just wish this goal had come as advertised because it would have been the PERFECT goal if it truly had a weighted base!Now you know. I hope that this will help you in your purchasing decision.My next step is to contact the seller. I will update this post with news on how that goes.

I've been a competitive soccer coach for almost 20 seasons, so I know a thing or two about small goals. These are the best on the market. They have the ideal balance of quality, performance, portability, and value. Unlike most on the market, these goals are well made and hold up over time. They do not break, tear, or deteriorate like most do. These do not blow over in the wind, so they are suitable for turf or hard, dry, or frozen ground without needing to be staked. They can also take point-blank shots without flipping over or rolling away. The portability is good. No, they do just spring open like others. However, they do set up and tear down surprisingly quickly, and they pack away into a fairly small duffle bag. The weight of the packed bag is heavier than others, but that is the price of the quality. I have to set up and tear down four of these for each practice, but to me it is worth it. The value is great. They cost about twice as much as a decent cheap goal, but I expect they'll last 10 times longer. To get better quality than this you have to spend 2-3 times more, but then you would lose the portability. I can fit four of these along with my ball bag, gear bag, and team bench in the trunk of my car. BTW, the Quickplay team bench is also the best quality bench on the market. My only complaint is that the zipper on the bag should be of better quality.
