Goal Safety

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has reported 26 deaths and hundreds of injuries since 1979 resulting from soccer goal accidents. Most of these injuries occur when children climb on top of an unsecured goal, causing it to either break from the strain (in the case of many homemade goals) or simply flip over onto an unsuspecting victim. You only need to review some of the descriptions of injuries and deaths addressed in the CPSC report to become saddened by this easily-preventable problem.

The referee or other official will immediately suspend the game or practice session and all persons should seek shelter immediately. Activities may resume only when the Regional Commissioner, the Regional Safety Director or designated agent gives the all-clear. In most cases, activities may be resumed when lightning or thunder has not been observed for thirty minutes.
