A soccer rebounder for your backyard.
Open Goaaal is worth considering when you want a shooting goal and a net around it. Start with your available space and the practice your child enjoys.
Open Goaaal Standard
$279.99 listed US price
The Standard combines a goal, rebound net and backstop. The US store advertises free shipping on goals. Check the final price, stock and delivery to your ZIP code before ordering.
Who should consider it
A family with a suitable grass backyard who wants a shooting target and surrounding netting to help contain missed shots.
When to choose something else
If your child mainly wants short passing practice, or you need equipment for a patio or frequent trips to the park, compare a compact board or portable net instead.

Allow room for the installation and the player.
The manufacturer lists a flat grass installation area of 27 ft 9 in wide × 6 ft 9 in deep—approximately 8.46 m × 2.06 m. The setup requires real grass with soil.
That footprint is for the equipment. You still need room in front for shooting, movement and retrieving balls. Measure your usable lawn rather than the whole backyard, including space taken by fences, planting and paths.
Ask who will assemble it and where your child will stand. A product photograph cannot tell you whether a shot or a missed ball will stay clear of windows, roads or other people.
Choose the practice before the equipment.
| What your child wants | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Shooting at a goal in a grass backyard | A goal with surrounding backstop netting, such as Open Goaaal |
| Repeated passes along the ground | A passing board and a smooth, suitable surface |
| Receiving a ball through the air | A rebound net designed for that return |
| Occasional practice without another purchase | A partner or a suitable wall you have permission to use |
These are different uses, so there is no single best choice for every family. Buying a larger setup makes sense only if it solves a problem your child actually has.
Before you order
- Confirm the current assembly instructions, anchoring requirements and full footprint.
- Check delivery and stock for your address, especially if it is a birthday present.
- Read the seller’s current returns conditions and who pays return carriage for a bulky item.
- Check replacement parts and storage arrangements before committing to a permanent backyard setup.
Do not choose equipment on the promise of academy selection. Enjoyable practice can be a reason to buy; a product cannot guarantee a soccer outcome.
Questions parents ask
Can we use the Standard on artificial grass or a patio?
The manufacturer specifies real grass with soil. Choose equipment designed for your surface and follow its securing instructions.
Have you tested its rebound quality or durability?
No. This is a buying guide based on published information, not a hands-on review. We cannot independently confirm the return speed, long-term durability or performance in your backyard.
Is a rebounder necessary?
No. A parent or friend can return passes. A suitable wall can also work where you have permission and enough clear space. Try those first if your child is still discovering what practice they enjoy.
