It’s hard to always hit the nail on the head when choosing a birthday gift. Whether it’s for your child or a loved one, finding the perfect gift idea that’s sure to please the recipient isn’t always easy. It’s even harder when children are young and still searching for a way to express themselves that excites them.
Should you opt for originality with a surprising gift, risking a long, lonely moment when unwrapping it, or should you opt for safety with a more common gift that risks being given in duplicate or even triplicate? A difficult choice for some. That’s without taking into account the unifying and enchanting power of the soccer goal !
Giving a football goal for a birthday?
Rest assured, you don’t need a 0.7 hectare garden (the area considered by FIFA as the official size of a football pitch) to give your little one or a friend a football goal. Unless they own a local football club and need new equipment to kick-start the new season in style, the idea of giving such equipment implies that you choose variations of the football goal used at the professional level.
If the future owner of the equipment is a young child to whom you wish to pass on your passion for football, there are a multitude of existing ranges that will allow them to perfect their technique without taking over the entire garden, or even carrying out work to be able to fix the goals to the ground. Rest assured.
A gift for her as well as for him
Furthermore, offering such equipment is a relevant choice whether the recipient is a little girl or a little boy. Gone are the stereotypes that compartmentalize the discipline; today, football is a sport that is increasingly popular with women.
While in 2000, the French Football Federation (FFF) recorded just over 30,000 licenses in women’s leagues, the latest report for 2017 counts over 160,000 licensees. So you can give a soccer goal to your friend’s granddaughter without feeling awkward and even show your pride in the positive evolution of the discipline.
Different models for different practices
Far from the hustle and bustle of football stadiums, the pressure of training, and the media exposure the sport receives, the goal you want to offer is, above all, a piece of equipment designed for fun. So you can put your competitive spirit in the locker room and put on your biggest smile to get the game started, which will begin immediately after opening the package.
Existing models designed for children are very practical, as they can be set up and taken down in seconds. Their small size (1.80m x 1.20m for portable models) allows you to take them anywhere with you. If you’re going on a camping holiday or taking your children to the park, you can take and set up this equipment wherever you want!
If the model’s owner turns out to be a fan of the sport, you can then move on to the mid-range models, designed for teenagers who are serious about perfecting their football skills or finding a sport to keep fit.
