PractiGOAL

Like the inventors of most new product ideas, Brian Phillips has developed “PractiGOAL” through personal experience and the need for such a product. As a soccer coach, he knew that transporting one or more soccer goals to a playing field, then assembling the goals upon arriving at the field, can be tedious and time-consuming tasks. This led him to theorize that a soccer goal could be designed to feature a one-piece frame assembly complete with a series of collapsible cross members that could be expanded and folded much in the same manner as a canopy frame. The goal’s net could also be permanently attached to it's frame. Such a design would eliminate the hassles associated with assembling and disassembling soccer goals upon arriving at a soccer field or prior to leaving the field, and thus would save a considerable amount of time and effort. Since the frame could also be collapsed into a compact state, it would be easy to transport to and from a field. Ultimately, such a design would enhance convenience and would be particularly useful at fields and facilities where soccer goals were not provided.
