My kids are very into soccer and love kicking balls into the crappy goal we have in the yard now. I'd like something a little more sturdy and possibly some sort of mobile backstop solution (so I can move it to mow the grass). Anyone have any luck with a particular brand/style? Bonus if the netting can work for lacrosse as well.
Lacrosse balls were expensive and I didn't want them in the neighbors yard. I mulched the area at the base of the netting and it kind of blended in.
Your kids will be flinging stuff around for a couple of years so half measures won't do

I dealt with similar stuff but it was hockey nets and pucks and after replacing my garage door I sprung for a good net with a very wide netted backstop.
have this and its fantastic- just make sure when you mow lawn you dont hack the net- or if you have a lawn service that they dont--- but its amazing and well worth it- covers a lot of ground so unlikely to chase the ball around
Kinda pricey but will last
Kid are 5,5, and 7. thanks for the link!

I have really nice 3’x4’ goals that break down east but that’s for a 7 year old. Next year I may get her this. It looks like the net can be raised for mowing. Soccer net - ( New Window )

Good to know, thanks! I think I’ll spring for it. She players almost year round and if it’s the sport she sticks with it’s a small price to pay. My backyard is a good size but I need to bring in some top soil in the spring to level out some spots - I’ll probably get this afterward.
