PowerNetCarli Lloyd Soccer Goal, Portable Net Collapsible Metal Base, Quick Setup Ultra Portable, Full Size Framed Soccer Goal, 1 Goal + 1 Carry Bag

I had forgotten that I never left a review after using this net since Oct of 2024. This is the second Powernet I own for my soccer team and they are wonderful. I coach U16 boys soccer now but have always ordered Powernets for my team, upgrading as needed once the kids got older. They are simple to to set up, nets are sturdy, my older net started coming apart from 5 years of use but I just tied it back together. Recently I purchased the 18.5 x 6.5 and it was substantially bigger than my older 12x6, which the kids love. After a few months of owning the 18.5 which does come with rolling wheels, one of the corners ripped. I called the company and they were able to ship out a new bag at new charge, great customer service. Just yesterday I noticed that when someone was helping me put away the net, we lost the plastic plugs that are at the base of the poles, called the company after their posted hours, someone picked up and directed me to their site to order replacements. Overall very happy with the product, company and customer service.The 18Ft net is hefty and long, the wheels help, but unless you have a SUV or car where you can put down the back seats, you will have to consider that when purchasing.

Seems like it's made very well. It's very easy to put together and the quality of overall materials seem excellent. Unfortunately, the quality control seems to be lacking a little bit. While the net seems sturdy, mine has area's that are already frayed and make me thing that failure will happen sooner rather than failure. If you get one without quality control issues you've got a solid product!Update: Customer service is excellent, I contacted them regarding the issue and was immediately contacted and a new net was sent out for the goal. Excellent experience. Hopefully they can increase the quality control so they don't have to deal with these issues.

Pros: 1) Well built; solid net, uprights, well made quality metal, tie downs, carrying case, basically every component is good quality.2) Simple deployment and breakdown, 3 mins max. for one person.3) Price about half of what a bownet costs4) Makes practice feel more like a game & kids take practice more seriously. Allows set pieces, corners, goal kicks, and goal mouthdefending more realism compared to pop up goals.5) Looks really sweet.Cons:1) I should have bought twoThis goal is the real deal I have been coaching kids soccer for 4 years with pop up goals and the powernet is in a class all its own. The mobility of it makes taking it to the 4 sessions I run a week a no brainier. It easily fits in and out of the trunk of my Accord and set up is almost as simple as a pop up goal. The 12x6 size is big enough to make my keeper work and my strikers focus on placement. Super upgrade for any coach.

I'm going to keep this at a 1 start right now. I just bought 2 of these 14'x7' goals. One went together perfect. The second one came out of the box with problems. It was just put together at the factory wrong. Main supporting bracket in the center of the base was on upside down. It would not allow the legs to lock into position. Had I not just put together the other goal, I would have never known this was the issue. Fortunately, I was able to remove the bracket and turn it right side up and make the legs lock.The other problem is unfortunately not easily fixed. On the base there are four holes (one on each corner). 3 out of 4 holes are the correct diameter and accept the poles perfect. The 4th hole is about a 1/8" smaller and will not accept the pole. Its really frustrating to get something brand new out of the box and it is just manufactured wrong.I was able to pull the insert out of the base. I sent email and picture to PowerNet hoping to get the correct piece that I can plug into the base frame. I won't have two goals for my practice on Monday like I had hoped, but if I can get the peice I need to make this goal work, I am willing to change my review based on the performance of the goal rather than the assembly of the goal out of the box.If I cannot get help from PowerNet, I will return both goals and pay a little extra for the same type of goal from Bownet. I went with PowerNet due to price.

Update: This goal is holding up well and works great, but the bag!!! I'd happily pay an additional $10-20 for a bag that is somewhat durable. Very impressed with how the goal has held up in wet Washington.So far so good. After having a Skillz rebounder/goal that didn't hold up, decided to get a separate rebounder and goal. Then I decided to get a goal big enough to use as a game sized goal for my U-10 team and went with the Powernet. It is very sturdy, yet simple to assemble. Takes a couple of minutes to put together by myself. Holds up well to shots, and though it comes with stakes I haven't needed them yet. Makes practice better for the kids then having to use flags for goals, or cones. I also use it as a counter attack goal for my U-13 team. My big fear is the poles not splitting, but they seem real sturdy. The bag could be more durable, not as nice as a Bownet's, but the goal is significantly less expensive. A great add on option if possible would be to sell an attachable cover that could turn it into a team shelter as it is about the perfect size. Will update after the season.
