Perfect Foldable Goals. Great for Small games 6v6
Background:
I have played soccer with the following setups:
Initially I organized pick up soccer games with cones, which lasted about a Month
PUGG 4FT Goals(blue ones) 2-3 Months
PUGG 6FT Goals(Yellow ones) 1 Year
Franklin 5x10FT Goals. Purchased Early July 2010
Pros:
1) Easy to Setup
2) Includes 2 goals and Carry Bag for Goals
3) Each Goal comes with 3 Stakes to hold the goal to the Ground. They also supply replacement stakes.
4) Super Light Weight ( under 3lbs guess??)
Cons:
1) Size. Its great for a quick pick up game. I have played upto 8v8 with these goals. But if any adult stands in front of the goal, it is very difficult to score.
2) Plastic Stakes break when stepped on, or pressed into the ground with feet. They warn against this.
3) Taking a full on hard shot by an adult, sometimes sends the goal flying, even when pegged into the ground.

These are the pop-up goals you want
I have used this with my U-12 team now for several weeks, and I have been very happy with the quality of this product. A coach for another team that I was working with had purchased a different set of pop-up goals from Agora that was an inferior product compared to this. The three stakes that come with each goal are each attached with a velcro strap so that you won't lose them, and there is a little pocket that you can slide each stake into so that it doesn't snag on anything. The goals take seconds to set up/tear down, and it is really easy to collapse the goals. You also get an extra set of three stakes, and the carrying case.
Awesome Goals!
There are several types of portable goals out there, but these are the best. They are very well made and have withstood heavy use (hard kicks and kids being rough with them). The toughness of these goals is complimented nicely by the ease with which they can be set up and taken down. Finally, the bags they come with have a handy strap that makes carrying them very easy, which is important because you most likely will be carrying other stuff (soccer balls, cones, water bottles, etc.).
One final note, the zipper on one of my bags broke right away (the zipper is very important because it keeps the goal from falling out when carrying it in the bag). When I contacted PUGG directly ([...]), they replaced it for free (including shipping) right away. This is a excellent product from a company that provides excellent service. These goals are a little bit more than the competition, but they are worth the money.
