For Football Academies Worldwide

Soccer Goals for Football Academies — Single Site or Multi-Academy Networks

Direct-from-factory portable football goals for academies in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, UK, EU, and North America. Supply continuity (same SKUs available year on year — when your previous supplier closes, we're still here), multi-site split delivery, EN 16579 / BS 8462 compliance, academy-grade durability for 300+ training sessions per year.

Why Academies Source Direct From Us

Supply continuity, year on year

Same SKU, same factory, same warranty — the goal you order this season is the goal you can re-order in year 3, 5, 7. The most common reason new academy directors contact us is: "our previous supplier closed." We won't.

Multi-academy split delivery

One PO covering multiple academy sites in multiple countries. Each site gets its own commercial invoice for local customs. Single point of contact, single payment, single quality SLA.

Global shipping — sea, air, DDP

Aramex / DHL air for urgent. Sea LCL to Jebel Ali, Singapore, HK, Sydney for medium orders. Sea FCL 20ft / 40HQ for academy networks. DDP available — we deliver to your academy door, duties handled.

EN 16579 / BS 8462 + warranty

One-page compliance attestation for health & safety committees. 12-month manufacturer warranty + replacement parts (nets, anchors, patches) available at cost for the lifetime of the SKU line.

Academy Size Mix — Recommended Inventory

Mini Kickers (3-5 yo)

6.5'×3.25' (2m × 1m)

For pre-academy Mini Kickers / Soccer Tots programs. Smaller goal scales the ball-to-goal ratio for very young players. Most academies start with 4-6 of these for parallel parent-and-child sessions.

U6 / U8 — 5v5

12'×6' (3.66m × 1.83m)

FA / USSF / FFF Mini-Football spec for U6-U8 5-a-side. Workhorse size for development programs. Easy single-coach setup; commonly the most-ordered single SKU in academy inventory.

U9 / U10 — 7v7

16'×6' (5m × 1.83m) or 18.5'×6.5' (5m × 2m)

FA 7-a-side spec is 16×6 ft for U9/U10. UEFA federations vary slightly (DFB, KNVB use 5m × 2m). We stock both sizes for academies that need to match local federation spec exactly.

U11 / U12 — 9v9

18.5'×6.5' (5m × 2m)

UEFA + FA + USSF + most international federation standard for 9-a-side play. The single most-ordered size across our academy customer base globally.

U13 / U14 — 11v11 transition

U15+ — Full FIFA 11v11

24'×8' (7.32m × 2.44m)

Full FIFA Laws of the Game dimension. Required for senior academy training and matches officiated under FIFA rules. Reinforced anchor system for repeated stake-in / stake-out cycles on academy pitches.

Academy Procurement Budget Ranges

Manufacturer-direct delivers 40-60% lower per-unit CapEx vs distributor channel — the gap widens at international scale because distributor markups stack on top of import duty.

  • Single academy starter (200-500 players) — 12-18 goals mixed sizes: roughly $5,500-$9,500 USD ex-warehouse, plus shipping to destination country.
  • Single academy full pathway (500-1,200 players) — 20-30 goals mixed + Mini Kickers: roughly $9,000-$18,000 USD with bulk tier discount.
  • Multi-academy network (3-6 sites) — 40-80 goals across all sites: roughly $18,000-$42,000 USD. Consolidated container shipping economics kick in around 50+ goals.
  • Federation-affiliated academy network (10+ sites) — 100+ goals with custom badging: $50,000+ USD, DDP delivered to each site, federation-grade documentation package.

Planning ranges in USD — we quote in USD as standard. AED, SAR, SGD, HKD, AUD, GBP equivalents provided on request. VAT not included (consult your local tax advisor; DDP includes import duty + VAT to your door).

Academy Buyer FAQ

Our previous supplier closed. Can you guarantee supply continuity for re-orders?

Yes — this is the single most-cited reason academy directors switch to us. We're a direct manufacturer (not a re-brander) with our own factory in Shaoxing, China + US warehouse. The SKU you buy this year will be the same SKU available in year 3 and year 5. Replacement nets, anchor bags, repair patches, and replacement frames all sourced from the same production line. Multi-year supply agreements available for academies wanting fixed pricing.

We operate academies in multiple countries — can you ship globally under one PO?

Yes. We currently ship to academies in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, UK, Germany, France, Spain, US, and Canada. Single PO can split-deliver to up to 6 academy addresses across multiple countries. Each address gets its own commercial invoice + packing list for local customs clearance.

What are the shipping options for Middle East (UAE, Saudi, Qatar)?

Three options: (1) Aramex / DHL air freight for small urgent orders (1-9 goals, 5-10 days, ~$40-80 per goal); (2) Sea LCL to Jebel Ali / Dammam / Hamad Port for medium orders (10-50 goals, 25-35 days, ~$15-25 per goal); (3) Sea FCL 20ft/40HQ container for large or consolidated orders (60+ goals, ~$12-18 per goal at FOB destination port). DDP service available — we handle all duty and customs clearance to your academy door.

What are the shipping options for Asia-Pacific (Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia)?

Singapore + Hong Kong: 7-12 day sea freight at LCL rates, often DDP-delivered to academy door for orders 10+ goals. Australia: sea freight to Sydney / Melbourne / Brisbane, 18-28 days, AQIS-compliant timber-free packaging available on request. Air freight available for urgent orders. International schools in these markets often use education-budget POs — we accept school-issued POs from accredited international schools without prepayment for orders under $10,000.

Do you supply academies running IB / British / American curriculum international schools?

Yes — international schools (IB World, COBIS British, US Department of State accredited) are a significant share of our academy buyers across APAC and the Middle East. We supply EN 16579 / BS 8462 compliance documentation that satisfies school board health & safety committees, with W-9 and Certificate of Insurance for US-affiliated schools. International school PE departments typically order 4-12 goals at first procurement; school-affiliated competitive academies (after-school programs) order 10-30 goals.

Can we put the academy logo, badge, or sponsor branding on the goals?

Yes, at 50+ unit orders. Custom branding includes: dye-sublimation logo on the goal frame, custom net colors (academy colors), branded equipment bags. Setup fees $200-$500 one-time, plus roughly $15-$25 per unit production cost. Federation-grade branding (national badge, sponsor logo placement) available with NDA + IP protection clause in the contract.

What payment terms do you offer international academies?

Standard structure: 50% deposit on PO confirmation, 50% balance against QC photos before shipment. Letter of Credit (LC at sight) accepted for orders over $30,000. Net-30 terms available for academies with 12+ months order history. WhatsApp + email confirmation of every payment milestone, with PI / Commercial Invoice / Packing List / BL document set provided.

Our academy has different age groups — Mini Kickers through U19. What sizes do we need?

Most academies run 5-6 size SKUs spanning U5 through senior. Common academy starter pack: 4× 6.5'×3.25' (Mini Kickers / U6), 4× 12'×6' (U7-U8 5v5), 6× 16-18'×6' (U9-U12 7v7/9v9), 4× 21'×7' (U13-U14 transition), 2× 24'×8' (U15+ 11v11). Total ~20 goals covers a single academy site with 200-500 enrolled players. Bulk tier discount applies to the total goal count across all sizes — same tier as if all 20 were the same SKU.

Do you provide a written EN 16579 / BS 8462 compliance certificate?

Yes — one-page manufacturer attestation issued under our company letterhead, signed and dated. Provides Product SKU, standard reference, anchor system attachment point specs, and material certification. Sent within 24 hours of request. Academy health & safety officers, international school risk committees, and government youth sport bodies (UAE General Authority of Youth & Sports, Saudi Ministry of Sport, FA-affiliated UK academies) all accept this document.
