Your program is not just like everyone else’s. Your level of play, playing surface, goal removal
requirements and budget all define your needs. Many programs that use brand name alone as
their selection criterion often miss out on features that better fit their requirements. Bison offers a
wide range of goals to meet the needs of college, high school, club, recreation and youth programs. Consider the following design features before you invest in your next pair of goals.
Portability
Torque Tested
Backstay Attachment
TM
Since many soccer fields serve double duty, portable goals make up
a large percentage of the market. Even if the goal is not permanently
attached to the ground, it might not be truly portable. Overall weight,
use of rear stabilizing bars, transport wheels and the quality of
construction all contribute to the true portability. Common problems
with hard to move portables include premature failure of welded
corners and the potential for staff or player injury. Aluminum is the
material of choice for portable goals. There are some lower cost steel
portables but they are heavy, hard to move, prone to rust, and worst of
all, dangerous if they tip over.
If you have full-time soccer fields, permanent or semi-permanent
goals might fit your needs best. Generally, they offer a lower cost
alternative with either steel or aluminum as viable options.
Football Gooseneck Post Compatibility
QwikTrack Easy and
Dependable Net Attachment
TM
Many high schools and collegiate soccer programs share facilities
with football and other activities. It is vital that portable soccer goals
are compatible with permanently installed football goalposts, allowing
quick and easy conversion from football to soccer and back. All
official size (24'x 8') Bison Shootout portable goals allow placement
in front of permanent football goal posts using the same goal line for
both sports by moving the rear horizontal stabilizer bar forward or
backward. This is especially critical for fields with permanently painted
field markings.
Manufactured or Locally Produced Goals
Football Field Compatibility
Over 80% of all portable goal tip over injuries and deaths reported in a
recent study occurred with the use of homemade goals produced in shop
class or at a local fabrication facility. Failure to understand and follow
guidelines and testing requirements found in ASTM F2056 often leads to
lack of ground anchoring, unsuitable goal depth and heavy materials and
construction that make goals top heavy. Off the shelf tubing commonly
has sharp corners that affect safety. It is critical to purchase goals that
have proper warning labels that also certify the goal meets the ASTM
safety standards to reduce liability risk for your program.
Post Size Compatibility
Rear Horizontal Stabilizer
Bar Can Be Repositioned
NCAA, National High School Federation and FIFA rules require that
front uprights and crossbars be no less than 4” and no more than
5” wide for official play. Round, square, rectangular or oval shaped
materials are all permitted. Round goals are often selected by clubs
that play by FIFA rules but many other programs like round as well. If
you choose square or rectangular goals, pay attention to the corners
on the tubes. The bigger the radius, the greater the player safety.
Bison offers round, square and rectangular goals.
Goal Size
Super Safe Auger Style
Hold Downs
Large Corner Safety Radius
60
Official play at high school, college and many club levels requires 24’
wide and 8’ high goals. These are the goal opening dimensions. Youth
goals are available in a variety of sizes and often local club rules,
field availability or other factors will determine goal width. Generally,
younger players use smaller fields and goals.

Safety
Over the past few years, there has been an
increasing awareness of soccer player injury
statistics. While most injuries occur in the open
field, injuries including concussions, broken bones,
cuts and damaged teeth caused by player contact with goals are
common.
If you prefer square or rectangular goals, look for manufacturers who
use a large corner radius on all upright and crossbar tubes. Choose
portable goals with the greatest back depth (10' on 24' x 8' goals)
and provide premium anchoring or built-in ballast systems as a part
of the package. Soccer is currently the most played team sport that
does not require padding on equipment that players might come in
contact with during competition. In the last few years, however, there
has been a steady move in the direction of allowing and using upright
padding to protect players and reduce program liability. All play that
is governed by National High School Federation rules now allows post
padding. Only Bison manufactures goals that can maintain the official
24’ width with or without upright padding. Bison DuraSkin for Soccer
padding has virtually no negative impact on ball rebound. To assure
safety and avoid unnecessary liability, NEVER purchase goals that do
not meet ASTM F2056 safety standards.
Convenience
It’s always easiest to buy in complete, ready-to-play packages.
This insures all components are compatible including net size and
portable anchoring systems. Features like wheel kits on portable goals
make goal movement easier and safer. Net attachment methods are
not all the same. Avoid systems that have loose clips or Velcro straps
that get lost and goals with protruding net attachment hardware that
presents a safety issue. Most programs prefer goals with built-in net
attachment tracks like Bison’s QwikTrack.
Durability/Warranty
When you invest in soccer goals, you want to be confident they will
provide maintenance free service for many years. Aluminum goals
have the advantage of a lifetime of rust free use. Some common
aluminum goals, however, are prone to failure of welds where
backstays attach to uprights. Big bulky goals get dragged across
the field, putting stress on joints and resulting in the need for costly
repairs. Bison’s unique Torque Tested backstay attachment system,
standard rear stabilizer bar and the inclusion of free wheel kits
on many goals allow Bison to offer an industry leading, eight-year
limited warranty on 4” round and 4” square goals. Compare standard
features and published warranties to get the most value for your
investment.
Purchasing through a local dealer is not only friendly to your
local economy but improves your service when you need help.
