A nice size tall enough for the 7 and 10 yr olds. Durable. Be careful opening the zipper of the storage bag, can easily catch on the goalie net, tearing it. 1st one delivered was caught on the net, we exchanged it easily. see less

The boys loved this tball. Dad thought it was great. With the self pitch, the 2 boys can play together with greater ease. Because of the snow, we set it up in the basement. Kept the attention of a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old boy for hours. see less

I bought this item this morning for my 3 and 4 year old boys to play with in the back yard. We got about 15mins of fun before my 4 year old kept knocking the upright t-ball stand off the base. So far the automatic pitch is working fine. I would not recommend this item to any consumer. see less

It worked great the first day keeping all 3 of my kids entertained for about half an hour. Tried to use again couple days later and the motor would turn off and on by iteself even with battery change(which shouldn't have needed anyway after 30 min of use!). It would work popping ball straight up but motor would shut off everytime it was put into either pitching position! Plus everytime my 3 year old hit it off the tee, the entire ball cylinder would fall off! Frustrated! Returning to store and going to [....] to get a [....] one!! see less

We bought this goal for my lacrosse team for practice. It's fairly easy to put together, the net is the hardest part to put on. My suggestion is to mark which side is top or bottom. We lost our instructions right after we opened the box (it was a windy day) so the only time we have problem with putting the goal together is the net. It's really light, so we can actually carry it on the subway. However, since it's really light, you will need to set something heavy on the bottom of the goal so when you are shooting, the goal won't move around too much. see less

My grandsons, 8 and 11, wanted a hockey set. At Target, I found this amazing set that included two nets, sticks and ball. It was inexpensive so I ordered it and had it shipped directly to them. It arrived fast, was made well and it was exactly what they wanted. They were so excited. They love it and play it every day. Thanks Target, I can always depend on you. see less

Good size goals, but the pvc pipes don't stay together. You really need to glue them to withstand a game of hard shots and moving them around. My kids use them indoors and outdoors and have held up for 6 months, so far. They use the mini sticks that come with it for indoors, and regular hockey sticks for street hockey. see less

The sticks seemed very short for the age child advertised on the set. The nets looked like they would be flimsy. see less

The Tee is an inexpensive piece of equipment that's just right for a beginning baseball/softball/wiffleball player. It adjust easily and stands up to all kind of weather.I only gave it 4 starts because it STINKS. The rubbery smell was so strong we had to keep it in the garage, even while it was still boxed and hadn't yet been opened. After it was opened we left it outside for weeks. By then it was ok. see less

These are great for little kids! I have a 3 year old and he's just starting soccer and these have been great for him to practice at home. They're pretty good sized. We haven't had ours fall apart...I've even kicked the heck out of the ball and sent the goal flying several times and it didn't break apart. It wasn't staked into the ground though so maybe that makes a difference. [...] We had the starter goal set with the yellow and green foam ball previously and that goal fell apart all the time. This is much sturdier, bigger, and all around better.And there are instructions included. Very detailed actually. Follow what's written step by step and you'll have no problems putting it together. Took only a few minutes for each goal. see less

We haven't had ours fall apart...I've even kicked the heck out of the ball and sent the goal flying several times and it didn't break apart. It wasn't staked into the ground though so maybe that makes a difference. It was a fraction of the online price in the store, so it might be worth a trip to the store.

Frame is lightweight and not for a teenage kid kicking a soccer at full force- if you want one to do that, fork out for a professional goal. But, if you have a child or children who want a goal wherever they go, in the living room, garage, park or bring on trips, then these are great. Being lightweight they can be taken by anyone to anywhere. They are sturdy enough to be flung around without collapsing, but fold down flat for easy transporting (again though light enough to just drag around from garage to driveway etc without parent assistance). Even with all this dragging from place place, the rods held their form and joints stayed put. (The rod would bend if by itself if not in the frame you put your foot on it like a stick and pulled it back. We didn't have any reason to do this so had no problems). Frame has been fallen on and stepped on without issue, I imagine if you had a teenager falling on the top it would put some stress on the joints... Again, we didn't have that. Netting is great. You need to pay attention to the instructions to make sure you put the right numbered rod in the right spot and the right end goes into the locking joint, but thats about it, but all in all setting up both took about 20mins . Oh, and don't forget to put the net on as you go :), this will take it down to about 12-15mins. All snaps in and locks into place securely. I loved these (loved because the dog took to them when they were left in her yard) but am on here buying new ones. Ours lasted with constant use by a hockey and soccer playing 8- 9yo for 18mths +, and he STILL uses them now even though he had to tape a joint back together :) for $24 a pair you can't go wrong for fun. I wouldn't recommend it for Travel Team training ;) see less

For 12.99, this little net is very hard to beat, a little confusing to build but pretty sturdy for little kids, we use it for street hockey. The net would rip if you use it for soccer and the child or adult can kick with any power at all. I am going to buy another. see less

We bought one last year for our oldest son. It has worked well so we bought one this year for our other son. They haven't been heavily used yet. see less
