Part of our mission at Telescopicgoal is providing players with the opportunity to continue their personal development by replicating that match day feel in training or their own backyard.

Telescopicgoals are a world first, providing football players, coaches, clubs, and schools with the ability to use the goal size that will be most effective based on age, size, and ability. So to match our unique goals, we've also done some world first research into goal sizing.

Calculating the ratio of an adult to a full size goal in the senior game of football (soccer), and then working backwards, we've been able to create a table that provides players, coaches, and parents with recommendations based on age and size. Using our guide, you'll be able to create the most effective training for any player and give them the best opportunity to further develop their footballing journey.

Appropriate goal sizing based on age is a highly debated topic in youth football across the World. A simple look at this table displaying recommended goal sizes per age shows the clear disparity in opinion across different international football associations.

While NZ recommends 4m x 2m for children under 10, Australia and the UK suggest 3.7m x 1.8m, the EU promotes 3m x 1.55m, and Portugal and Spain encourage 1.8m x 1.2m. Not only can this cause confusion but also limits the lifespan and usefulness of smaller goals as your child grows. With the versatile T models, you can choose the most effective goal size based on age and ability while simultaneously not having to worry your child will outgrow their goal.
