This works well.  My daughter loves to shoot goals to this net.  I like the size because it gives her a small target and the balls return.  Keep in mind the ball does not return directly to the player.  The ball wildly return to different locations based on the speed and angle of the strike but it is much better than walking up to the net to collect balls.  It also serves to provide practice stopping and controlling a passed ball in open field.  I would have rated it 5 stars if the stakes provided worked well.  The stakes are necassary to hold the net frame firm in the ground and only work for about 10 shots before having to reset the stakes.  I used my tent stakes and rope to secure the net frame to the ground permanently.
