You. can build a scoring goal out of many things, the main thing to remember is that you want a large center pole and 2 outside poles that are 40 inches apart.  So, if you have a tree in your yard that is between 6 inches in diameter and 13 inches in diameter you can use that as your center pole and add the 2 side poles for playing with friends or practicing scoring.  You could also add some padding around the pole holding up your basketball backboard and hoop!  In both of these arrangements you may want to add a net behind the poles to catch the ball.

    If you make a moveable goal, you can put it up in front of a soccer goal or a lacrosse goal and that way use the nets that is part of those goals. 

    If you have a building that you can use as a backstop, you can paint the poles on the building.  But, if your not allowed to do that , or you don't want to do that, you can use a 2" x 12" board of say 4 to 8 foot long and put it against the building as the center pole and use two 2"x4" boards as the sidepoles.

    For a more formal goal that might be used by a high school team, you can cut a telephone pole or a 6" to 12" diameter plastic pipe to the proper length for the center pole and add some 3" or 4" diameter and 10 foot long plastic pipes for the sidepoles.  Or, you could add some matter to the football goal posts to increase their diameter and use the football goal posts as the center poles and add two sidepoles 40 inches apart.  Then all you need is a net behind the goals or someone chasing the ball behind the goals and putting the 15 yard arc and the 25 yard arc in front of each goal and the teams can play Poleball on the field! 

You can mark the 15 yard arc with lime or spray paint by using a 45 foot long rope anchored at the goal to show you the location to lay the lime or spray the paint.   An easy alternate way would be to use a rope or garden hose that is about 150 foot long and lay it on the ground to act as the arc.  You could also cut the grass at different lengths inside the arc and outside the arc to show the boundary of the arc.

    If you have some idea of your own as to how to construct a Poleball goal and you would like to share  it with others, tell us about it, and we will tell you whether we will put it on the website or share it otherwise.
