Coaches Notes
Socketed 9v9 goals are the right call for a permanent pitch, somewhere the goal stays in exactly the same spot fixture after fixture. The trade-off against a freestanding or wheeled package is that the sockets need installing properly first, but once they're in you get a rock-solid frame that won't shift in wind or a crowded warm-up. Worth checking your county FA's Football Foundation grant eligibility before ordering, a socketed 9v9 pair like this is exactly the kind of investment those grants are designed to support.

Assembly & care
Assembly: requires ground sockets installed at 16ft x 7ft centres before fitting; two people recommended for lifting the aluminium frame into the sockets.
Back supports: fit the brace and back supports before tensioning the net, this keeps the frame square.
Care: wipe down the aluminium frame after wet sessions and store nets undercover between fixtures.
Safety: check socket fittings and back supports are secure before every session, never allow players to hang or climb on the crossbar.
