Safety First
Net Safety:
There is always a potential danger for unattended children and players to see a soccer goal as something to climb. Beyond safe goal anchoring practices, it is also recommended that soccer nets manufactured to minimize unsafe climbing situations be installed.
Smaller mesh netting helps prevent entrapment and discourages climbing and other misuse that can lead to serious injury.
Most manufacturers provide netting with 140mm mesh sizes. Installing nets with 120mm mesh is highly recommended in order to reduce potential entrapment situations.
A second net style that would provide an even better safeguard for misuse is a net made with 2” size mesh. Toeholds and footholds that would exist in larger mesh netting are essentially eliminated with two inch mesh nets.
Both the ASTM in the U.S. and the English FA provide guidelines that highly recommend soccer goal net mesh measurements not exceed 4.72 inches (120mm) in width.
