Securely anchor or counter-weight portable goals at all times.
Never climb on the net or goal framework.
Instruct soccer volunteers and players on the safe handing of and potential dangers associated with movable soccer goals.
Use movable soccer goals only on level (flat) fields.
Remove nets when goals are not in use.
Tip unused goals onto their goal face, or chain them face-to-face. You can also chain unused goals to nearby fence posts or other sturdy fixtures.
Check all connecting hardware before every use. Replace damaged or missing fasteners immediately.
Use warning labels and make sure they are clearly visible.
Fully disassemble goals for off-season storage.
