For the top crossbar:
8U and younger – connect the crossbar with the threaded net to the remaining crossbar;
10U – using the 2 separate connectors, connect 3 crossbars (the one with the threaded net should be in the middle).
Put a corner on each end and attach another crossbar down each side. You should now have a squared off U shape.

Attach a corner to each side so that it points up into the air. Get the remaining 2 crossbars and attach one to each corner. Presto, you have an assembled goal. However, it still might be a little difficult to use, since it is laying on the ground.
PLACEMENT AND SECURING THE GOAL

With the goal still on the ground, lift/drag it into position. The goal needs to be placed in the middle of the goal area. Do this by pacing off the distance between the uprights and the goal area lines. As you are standing up the goal, have your partner spread the net across the crossbars, down the uprights and to the end of the ground support bars.

When the goal is standing, make sure the uprights are directly above the goal line. When it is in the correct position, have your partner stake both ground support bars at the open end. Be sure to stake the net to the ground support bar.

Using at least 2, and preferably 3 stakes, stretch the net back, and stake it down.
CHECK THE GOAL AND PLACE THE FLAGS
After the goal is up, take the corner flags and place them in the very outside corners of the field. Drag the goal bag back behind the goal, and put all the remaining items (this should only be the hammer) inside the bag. Now, go back and check each stake to make sure it is pounded all the way down. One of the leading causes of injury is having the goal fall on one of the players. When you are satisfied, pat each other on the back, go sit down, and enjoy the game.
