- March / April planning — Camp director or program coordinator builds the season equipment list against expected enrollment + activity schedule. Goals are typically the largest single line item; we recommend planning by late March for best freight pricing.
- Request quote (April) — Email bulk@taysports.com or fill /b2b inquiry form with camp size, age divisions, and target delivery date. Reply with quote, freight estimate, and documentation packet within 1-2 business days.
- Board / fiscal approval — Camp board or fiscal authority approves the PO. 501(c)(3) camps provide determination letter + W-9 for net-30 terms (first-time orders sometimes start at 50/50 prepay).
- LTL delivery (early May ideal) — 5-10 business days from PO acceptance. Goals delivered to camp office, maintenance shed, or main storage facility. Hand-truck unload by signature.
- Counselor onboarding (June) — During pre-camp counselor training week, run a 10-minute briefing on goal setup, takedown, daily inspection, and field repair. Quick-start cards live in the tote bag with each goal.
Budget Guidance
Camp equipment budgets typically come in as a 4-7 year amortized CapEx — buying manufacturer-direct cuts the upfront line by 40-55% vs catalog purchasing.
- Small day camp (100-200 campers) — 4-6 × 12×6 goals: roughly $2,500-$4,500 budget line.
- Mid-size day camp (200-500 campers) — 6-10 mixed (mostly 12×6 + some 18.5×6.5): roughly $5,000-$9,500.
- Overnight camp (200-400 campers, structured soccer) — 8-12 mixed all three sizes: roughly $8,000-$15,000.
- Multi-chapter network (YMCA / Boys & Girls Club regional) — 20-40 goals + branded option: $18,000-$36,000 depending on custom branding choice.

Can a 20-year-old counselor set up the goal without coaching experience?
Yes. That's actually the design target — counselors aren't soccer coaches, they're college students running 6-8 activities per day. 90-second inflation with electric pump, 4 ground stakes for tip-resistance, no tools, no assembly. We include a printed quick-start card laminated for outdoor use.
How do the goals store between camp seasons (off-season)?
Deflated, each goal compresses to a duffel-sized tote (we include the bag). A 6-goal inventory fits in roughly the space of a folding card table — easy to stack in a maintenance closet or seasonal storage container. Compared to steel-frame portables that need a 10×20 storage room, it's a significant facility win.
What sizes work for typical camp age ranges (6-15 year olds)?
Most camps use the 12'×6' (3.66m × 1.83m) size as the workhorse — fits campers 6-12 years old and pairs well with small-sided 4v4 / 5v5 games. Camps running an older division (13-15) typically add 1-2 of the 18.5'×6.5' (5m × 2m) size for that age group. Overnight camps with structured soccer programming sometimes add the 21'×7' for the 14-17 elder camper division.
Will the goals survive a full 8-week camp season of daily use?
Yes. Frame seams carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Real-world service life in camp use is 5-8 years depending on storage. Camp use is actually milder than year-round club training (8 weeks of daily play + 44 weeks of storage), which materially extends life. UV-resistant TPU fabric handles full-sun camp environments without color fade.
Do you offer ACA-accreditation-compliant safety documentation?
Yes. ACA (American Camp Association) standards around equipment safety reference manufacturer documentation — we provide the BS:8462:2005 attestation, MSDS, and 12-month warranty as a standard package. Counselor safety briefing on goal use takes about 5 minutes; we include a one-page laminated briefing card if requested.
Can you ship before camp opens in June / July?
Yes. Plan orders by early May for guaranteed pre-camp-season delivery. Lead time from PO acceptance is 5-10 business days LTL freight in stock. Camps ordering in March/April get the smoothest setup. Last-minute (late May / early June) orders typically still ship, but freight zones to the Northeast can run tight.
Do you give discounts to non-profit / 501(c)(3) camps?
No separate non-profit discount tier — but the bulk tier pricing (starting at 4 units) is the same regardless of buyer type, and includes the documentation package and net-30 terms for established 501(c)(3) operations. Most ACA-member camps qualify for net-30 from us with a 501(c)(3) determination letter + W-9.
Can we get the goals branded with our camp logo?
Yes, at 50+ unit orders. Most single camps don't hit that threshold (typical day camp orders 4-12 goals). YMCA / Boys & Girls Club / Camp Fire networks ordering across multiple chapters often hit the threshold and order branded — setup fees run $200-$500 one-time plus $15-$25 per unit production cost.
Order before May for guaranteed pre-camp delivery
Email bulk@taysports.com or fill the inquiry form. Quote + documentation within 1-2 business days; LTL delivery 5-10 days from PO.
