Using this soccer goal set is a breeze. First, take the goals out of the carry bag. Then, just pop them up - they're designed to be instant. You can use the ground pegs to secure the goals on the ground, making sure they stay in place during the game. When you're done playing, simply use the easy twist-close design to fold the goals up and put them back in the carry bag for storage. As for maintenance, keep the goals dry and clean. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing them to sharp objects that could puncture or damage the goals.
