Anchor The Goals
- When the soccer goals are not in use lock them up. Chain and lock goals face-to-face or facing a fence.
- When[show_disconnected][show_to accesslevel=’Subscriber’] goals are on the field make sure they are anchored to the ground before you take the field with your team, and also when you leave the field after training.
Have A Plan/Policy
- Have a club policy in place about the requirement to safely anchor soccer goals. Make sure everyone in your organization is familiar with what is expected and required.
- Make sure printed instructions and guidelines are given to anyone who will use your facility.
Important To Remember!
- Most accidents happen to youngsters who are not actually playing soccer at the time of the incident.
- Most injuries occur to boys and girls who are playing on or around the soccer goals. Do not allow children to hang on the crossbars and/or play in the goal’s netting.
