AFL Goal Size Guide

AFL Goal Post Footing Types

Abel AFL Goals are made to suit all types of installation. We manufacture both Hinged Base Plate and Ground Tube style footings to make installation and off-season removal and storage a breeze. That’s why stadiums clubs and schools buy Abel AFL goals in Australia.

Hinged Base Plates

Great for larger goals, we recommend Hinged Base Plate AFL goals for any goal posts 10m or higher. Hinged Base Plates allow you to safely lower goals to ground level before removal, while meeting OHS requirement and avoiding the need for a crane to lift heavy goals out of the ground. Hinged Base Plate goals are great for council grounds and stadiums that remove posts at the end of each season and are the perfect solution for facilities that use onsite goal post storage.

Ground Tube Footings

Abel’s Ground Tube footings are great for smaller goals, as they still provide the flexibility to remove and store goals for multi-sport fields during the off-season. Sleeves are placed beneath ground level and permanently cemented in place, with the goal posts inserted inside the sleeves and locked into position. Goals can be lifted out of the sleeves at the end of the season and off-season caps are installed to protect the sleeves from filling with soil.

National AFL Goals

Abel’s National AFL Goals are professional-grade, full-size goals suitable for elite stadiums and arenas at a national level.

Additionally, featuring our unique hinged base plates, these goals can be easily removed and stored during the off-season. As a result, it’s why major stadiums and arenas choose to buy AFL goals from Abel across Australia.

FAQ

Abel manufactures AFL goal posts in standard heights of 6 m, 7.5 m, 8 m, 9 m, 10 m, 12 m and 15 m, with matching behind posts to suit every level of the game from junior schools through to national‑level stadiums. Our main AFL goal ranges cover:

  • Junior / primary school: AFL goal posts around 6 m high with shorter behind posts (typically 3-4 m) for smaller ovals and Auskick‑style programs.
  • Secondary school and community: mid‑height goals around 7.5-9 m with behind posts around 5-6 m for club and council grounds.
  • Regional and state level: taller goals around 10-12 m with behind posts around 6.5-8 m for larger ovals and higher‑level competition.
  • National and elite stadiums: 15 m goal posts with tall behind posts (around 10 m) as supplied by Abel to major AFL venues.

Each range includes matching goal and behind posts in the correct ratio for that level, so clubs, councils and schools can choose a complete AFL goal set sized for their ground and competition rather than trying to mix and match individual posts.

Abel AFL goal posts are designed and certified to meet AS EN 16579:2020 – Playing field equipment – portable and permanent socketed goals, and key Australian structural standards including:

Abel AFL goals are manufactured from 6063T6 high‑tensile aluminium, with high strength, corrosion resistant inner steel cores and lightweight aluminium outer tubing.

They are made in Australia using premium recyclable aluminium and finished with a heavy duty Dulux Pearl White powder coat, and all goals are backed by a 5‑year structural guarantee.

The right AFL goal post size depends on your level of play, player age group and oval size, and should align with AFL Facility Guidelines and any competition‑specific requirements.

As a general guide:

  • Junior / primary school ovals typically use shorter goals around 6 m with proportionate behind posts, so scoring targets are visible but not intimidating for younger players.
  • Most suburban club and council grounds use mid‑height goals around 7.5–9 m with 5–6 m behind posts, consistent with community‑level AFL and local league expectations.
  •  Regional and state league venues use taller goals around 10–12 m with 6.5–8 m behind posts, in line with AFL facility guidance for higher‑standard football.
  • Major stadiums used for national AFL competition use 15 m goal posts with tall behind posts around 10 m, as installed by Abel at leading venues.

If you tell Abel’s team the level you play at (junior, community, regional, state league or national), who manages the venue (school, club, council or stadium) and whether your league has specified goal sizes, we can recommend the most appropriate Abel AFL goal heights and footing system for your ground.

Yes. Abel’s 15 m Hinged Base-Plate AFL goals are designed for seamless installation and removal all year round, allowing posts to be lowered to ground level and removed while keeping the turf level and uninterrupted. Combined with Abel’s onsite goal post storage systems, this makes it easier for councils and clubs to move and store long AFL goal posts between seasons without transporting them to depots.

Abel offers Hinged Base Plates and Ground Tube Footings for our AFL goal posts.

Hinged Base Plates are ideal for larger goals 10 m or higher, allowing you to safely lower posts to ground level before removal and avoiding the need for a crane.

Ground Tube Footings are suited to smaller goals and make it easy to remove and store posts for multi‑sport fields during the off‑season.

Goal post pads and other accessories are not automatically included with every AFL goal set, but Abel supplies a full range of matching safety and storage products. Abel can provide AFL Goal post pads, onsite goal post storage systems and other safety solutions alongside your AFL goal posts. When you request a quote, our team can include padding, storage and any other accessories you need for your ground so everything arrives together and is compatible with your goals.
