Step 1.
The following steps are general recommendations
for installation of the ground sleeves. Soil
conditions, frost, and climate may require
adjustment of instructions. A geotech should
explore conditions and recommend instructions to
suit your application before football goal is
assembled.
Dig hole for ground sleeves. Holes should be
approximately 54” deep and 10” to 12” wide. Softer
soil will require a wider hole. Fill bottom 6” of hole
with drainage gravel.
Place ground sleeve in hole with bolt facing the back
of the field and the top flush with ground level.
Fill with cement leaving 4” to 6” clearance to fill with
sand to leave bolt accessible and allowing grass to
grow around sleeve.

Step 2.
TIP: Pre-assemble football goal assembly on
ground.
Slide upright weldments onto crossbar weldment
Insert lock and flat washers onto security fasteners
(1 each per fastener). Using the security allen key
partially thread all fasteners through upright
weldment and into tapped holes in cross bar
weldment
NOTE: Do not fully tighten security fasteners
until all have been successfully started. This
allows for correct hole alignment between
upright and crossbar
Step 3.
Insert crossbar into gooseneck.
Insert one 5/8X8” hex bolt with flat washer
through each hole at crossbar mount location;
secure with a flat washer and nylock nut at

Step 4.
Ensure goal is fully seated in ground sleeve
assembly.
Rotate goal assembly in ground sleeve until
crossbar is aligned with playing field.
Once goal is properly aligned tighten ground
sleeve lock bolt.
NOTE: Once goal has been erected ensure
crossbar is level from front to back and left to
right. If it is not level from left to right loosen
bolts connecting crossbar to gooseneck and
adjust. If goal is not level from front to back it
may be necessary to insert a shim between
gooseneck and ground sleeve. If goal is
leaning forward loosen lock bolt and insert
shim on front side of gooseneck and vice
versa if goal is leaning back. Re-tighten all
bolts when done.
