Rebounder Goal – Featured Soccer Product

Rebounder GoalFor February, the featured soccer product of the month is the Soccer Rebounder Goal.

The  soccer rebounder goals make excellent training aids for soccer practice, youth soccer leagues, or even your own backyard. The goals are great for repetitious passing and shooting to help you hone in and nail your target (whether your target is another player or the goal).

Once kicked into the rebounder goal, the soccer ball will bounce back to you. You can forget about the bothersome task of retrieving your ball after each shot or pass. Stand as close to, or as far back from the ball rebounder as you’d like. Test your aiming skills!

The training rebounder goals consist of 1 3/8″ OD galvanized steel tubing. Each goal features a complete back frame and ground bar. You truly cannot tell the difference between a rebounder goal and a professional soccer goal (except for the size, of course).

The net on the rebounder has elastic stitching around the netting for extra bounce back. The bars of the goal are designed to sleeve and lock together into place with simple push buttons – it is very easy to assemble and take apart. Each rebounder goal folds flat, making it a breeze to transport and store.

The Rebounder Goal includes the following components: steel frame, rebounder net, anchors, and net attachments.

Good luck on the field, and remember to kick grass!

Field Striping Tips for Your Soccer Field

Striping Tips

A green field to play on means nothing if the out-of-bounds lines aren’t crisp and straight, goal lines aren’t accurate, or the mascot can’t be seen. Striping and painting your field will take time and patience, but will be worth it in the end.

Always string your lines. Accuracy is important because games are officiated according to the lines you stripe. Stringing your lines helps insure accurate marks. Use the Perfect Field® Layout Guide Kit for accuracy and straight lines.

If you soccer field is housed on the football field, paint the sidelines of the football field first so that you know when to start and stop when lining the rest of the field.

When striping lines the first time, the initial application should be lighter to establish good base. A second application with a high-quality aerosol paint will make your lines brilliant.

Apply a base coat of white paint before applying a color. This way you use less colored paint and get better, brighter coloring and your school name or logo will pop off the field.

Use only the highest quality field marking paint like to get the brightest lines and the easiest application.

How to Choose the Right Soccer Net for Your Soccer Goal

If you need to purchase a soccer net for a soccer goal, it can be a scary journey, especially if you know nothing about soccer nets.

Where in the world do you start? Where do you look to even buy a soccer net? What do you need to know about the net itself or the goal it’s supposed to frame? Aren’t soccer nets all the same? Do nets differ depending on the size of the goal?

Don’t worry. All of the aforementioned questions are answered here. Read on my troubled soccer mom, soccer dad, soccer coach, athletic director, secretary to an athletic director, or city park equipment purchaser.

Where in the world do you start? The first step in buying a soccer net, is to consider the size of the goal and what it will be used for.  Goals range in sizes but are generally one of these measurements:

- 8′ H x 24′ W

- 7′ H x 21′ W

- 6’6″ H x 18’6″ W

- 6’7″ H x 16’5″ W

- 6’6″ H x 12′ W

- 5′ H x 10′ W

- 4′ H x 6′ W

The smaller the size of the goal, the younger and less experienced the soccer players generally are. The nets coincide with the size of the goal. However, if you get a soccer net that is considerably larger for the goal, don’t fret. You can easily tie or tack the net in  place. Generally there are nets sized to fit each goal size. So, don’t despair. Note that soccer nets can vary in height, width, and depth.


What do you need to know about the net itself? The first thing you should know about the net is the size. We’ve already discussed that in the prior paragraphs.  The second soccer net aspect  to be aware of is the cord thickness.  Nets vary  in cord thickness, but can usually be found in one of these measurements: 2 mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm.  Nets can also range in mesh sizes (the size of the squares made by the cord) from 2″ to 5.5″. The larger the mesh size, the more advanced the players are.

Are soccer nets made of different materials? Normally soccer nets are made from polyethylene which is a nylon-cord type of material. So, no, most soccer nets are made from the same material.

Where do you look to buy a soccer net? The first place to check is the internet. It is a great place to find a huge selection of soccer nets. There are many different viable websites that offer good prices and a good selection of soccer nets including:

Also, consider sporting good stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods or Sports Authority–they don’t offer quite the variety, but have the basic soccer nets available.

How much does a soccer net generally cost? The cost of a soccer net is usually determined by its size, the thickness of the cord and its quality. If the goal will be used by a player age 12 or older, buy a net with a 3mm or thicker cord–2mm cord break too easily. Soccer nets are typically sold in sets of two. The price for a soccer net set ranges from a low $25 (for a pee-wee replacement net) to  over $1,000 (for a professional high quality net).

If you’re looking to buy a soccer net in the near future, don’t fret. You’re in the “soccer know” now! Go out and find the perfect net for you and your team.

Soccer Field Dimensions

Ah, the dimension questions.

Is a soccer field bigger than a football (American football) field? How many basketball courts can you fit into a soccer field? How much longer is a soccer field’s length, than it’s width? What exactly are the dimensions of a soccer field?

Well personally, when  I run the length of a soccer field, it takes F-O-R-E-V-E-R! So what exactly does forever mean?

I’ve compiled the basic dimensions for a regulation (not kiddie) soccer field. Check them out!

Overall Dimensions

The overall dimensions of a regulation soccer field is 100 yards long and 60 yards wide. That’s huge, right? Well, a basketball court (NBA and college) is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide.  Yes, that’s feet, not yards. And a football (think American) field is 120 yards in length and 531/2 yards wide. So quite honestly, football and soccer fields are quite close in dimension.

Midfield Line

The middle of the field is divided lengthwise by the midfield line.

Center Circle

In the center of the field, a 10 yard circle marks the area where defenders must stay outside of during a kickoff.

Penalty Area

The box centered on the goal is called the penalty area or penalty box. This box is 44 yards wide by 18 yards deep. It includes an arc 10 yards from the “penalty mark.”

Penalty Mark

The penalty mark is inside the penalty area, 12 yards from the end line. This is where penalty kicks are shot from.

Goal Area

The goal area is a smaller rectangle inside the “penalty area,” centered on the goal. The measurements are 20 yards wide by 6 yards deep.

Corner Kick

The corner kick area is marked on each corner of the field with corner flags. It is a one yard quarter circle.

The Goal

An adult soccer goal is 24 feet wide by 8 feet high.

 

I hope this was helpful for anyone interested in knowing the dimensions of a soccer field. Whether you’re a coach, an athletic director, a player, or a soccer mom or dad, it can always be useful information. Now you know!

How to find the best Folding Soccer Corner Flags

Are you a soccer mom or dad? Are you responsible for any soccer equipment  for your son or daughter’s competition soccer team (aside from the halftime oranges)? Are you a soccer coach that has to provide field equipment? Maybe you’re a referee that has to bring all the field gear to the game.

At any rate, if you are in need of corner flags, but don’t want to pack and carry them around, consider getting a set of folding soccer corner flags.

Let’s face it. It’s a pain packing and carrying and hauling corner flags. They’re long and awkward. With the folding corner flags, you can easily pack and carry and set them up. They are a breeze when it comes to corner flags.

When purchasing folding soccer corner flags, keep the following in mind:

1. Make sure they are lightweight.
2. Make sure they come with a carrying case or bag.
3. Make sure the posts are at least 1/2 inch in diameter.
4. Internal Shock cords are ideal

You can find a great set of 4 folding soccer corner flags at www.soccerfieldpro.com.

Thanks for reading this blog!
