Goal Safety for Coaches
- Inspecting the goals before a practice or a game – don’t rely on referees or the coach who was on the field before you!
- Check to see that goals are property anchored – including portable goals – before you start play. If they are not anchored, don’t have players in the goal area and notify the proper city or club official. Be sure to check that the top cross bar is secure. If it is constructed of two pieces, check the area where they are bolted together.
- NEVER – UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES – ASK PLAYERS TO HELP YOU MOVE A GOAL.
