What to Expect

If you’re new to the club, click links below

Free to a good home…

1 set of full-size soccer goals including nets.

• Being full-size, they’re only suitable  for kids 13yo upwards. (Would suit a High School)
• Made from heavy-duty galvanised steel
• Could do with a lick of paint
• Safety note: Back bar should be securely anchored (pegged) into the ground to prevent tipping forward (as per Australian Standard)
• They come with a trolley and 2 wheels to move them but they are heavy and not very stable on the trolley. Treat them as permanent goals with the advantage that they can be moved 3 or 4 times a year when the goalmouth grass wears out.
• Looks like they can be disassembled for transportation but they haven’t been apart in 15 years so no promises.
• Pickup from Mackie Road Reserve, East Bentleigh.

Enquires to Stewart on 0419 322 122.
