Rugby Equipment – Official Rugby Goal Posts & Accessories for Regulation Play

Rugby equipment for field installations begins with the goal posts — the permanent structural fixture that defines every regulation rugby field and that every competitive program, school athletic department, and facilities manager needs to specify correctly before the first match is played. JayPro Sports is the authorized rugby equipment brand at Pro Athletic Supply, manufacturing official-size rugby goal posts in both permanently installed and surface-mount configurations along with the rugby goal pads and ground sleeves that complete a regulation installation. JayPro Sports brings over 70 years of athletic equipment manufacturing experience to their rugby goal lineup — the RGP-3 permanent installation goal and RGP-3H surface-mount goal in official 32-foot height and 18-foot 4-inch width, built from 4-inch schedule 40 aluminum tubing with a tough white powder-coat finish that holds up through years of outdoor weather exposure at the regulation dimensions that every level of organized rugby competition requires. Pro Athletic Supply carries the JayPro Sports rugby goal lineup — permanent goals, surface-mount goals, goal pads, and ground sleeves — for schools, collegiate programs, recreation departments, and rugby clubs equipping regulation fields.

✔ Official Regulation Size — 32 Feet High, 18 Feet 4 Inches Wide for Every Level of Competition — JayPro Sports' rugby goals stand at 32 feet high (9.8m) and 18 feet 4 inches wide (5.6m) with uprights extending 22 feet above the crossbar — the official dimensions that govern competitive rugby at high school, collegiate, and club levels and that match the specifications referees and governing bodies require for sanctioned competition.

✔ 4-Inch Schedule 40 Aluminum Tubing — Rust-Resistant Structural Durability for Permanent Outdoor Installation — Uprights and crossbars constructed from 4-inch O.D. Schedule 40 aluminum tubing with rust-resistant white powder-coat finish — the material and coating specification that maintains structural integrity and appearance through years of year-round outdoor exposure without the corrosion and maintenance overhead of steel alternatives.

✔ Two Installation Formats — Permanently Anchored or Surface-Mount for Every Field Configuration — The RGP-3 is designed for permanent installation anchored into concrete footings; the RGP-3H is designed for surface-mount installation. Two configurations that serve rugby programs at every field type — new field builds that specify permanent concrete anchoring and existing multi-sport facilities where surface-mount hardware provides the correct structural support without full footing excavation.

✔ Custom Goal Pad Graphics Available — Program Identity on the Goal Post Pad — JayPro Sports rugby goal pads are available with custom lettering and graphics for programs that want their school name, team name, or sponsor branding displayed on the padded post protectors — the player safety accessory and program identity element in a single product.

✔ Over 70 Years of Athletic Equipment Manufacturing — Designed to Perform, Manufactured to Last — JayPro Sports has developed the most robust and reliable equipment for facilities of all shapes and sizes for over 70 years. With a complete line designed for all levels of play from recreational through collegiate and professional, JayPro's rugby goals carry the institutional confidence that 70-plus years of manufacturing athletic facility equipment produces.

JayPro RGP-3 Permanent Rugby Goals – Official Size, Concrete-Anchored Installation

The JayPro RGP-3 is the official-size permanently installed rugby goal — designed for new field installations and established rugby facilities where a concrete-anchored permanent goal is the correct long-term structural specification. At 32 feet high (9.8m) and 18 feet 4 inches wide (5.6m) with uprights extending 22 feet above the crossbar, the RGP-3 meets official size requirements for competitive rugby at every level from high school through collegiate and club competition. The 4-inch O.D. aluminum uprights and crossbar are constructed with Schedule 40 wall thickness for the structural rigidity that a permanent installation requires under sustained outdoor conditions — heavy-gauge aluminum that maintains its straight, plumb position season after season without the settling and shifting that lighter-gauge alternatives develop under the lateral load of wind exposure and the dynamic loads that competition creates. Ground sleeves are available separately for programs that want the installation flexibility of a removable goal on a permanent concrete sleeve foundation.

Best for:

• High school and collegiate athletic programs installing permanent rugby goals on a dedicated rugby field or multi-sport grass field where the goal will remain in position through the full competitive season and be used for sanctioned competition at regulation dimensions
• Recreation departments and municipal facilities equipping public rugby fields for club and community rugby programs who need the durability and permanence of a concrete-anchored goal that serves ongoing public use without the maintenance overhead of less permanent alternatives
• Rugby clubs and organizations with access to dedicated field space who want permanent, regulation-size goals that match the practice environment to the competition environment — the permanent installation that gives players the same goal structure in training that they compete against

JayPro RGP-3H Surface-Mount Rugby Goals – Official Size, Surface-Mounted Installation

The JayPro RGP-3H is the official-size surface-mount rugby goal — designed for facilities where surface-mount hardware provides the correct structural installation without requiring full concrete footing excavation. The RGP-3H maintains the same official 32-foot height, 18-foot 4-inch width, and 22-foot upright extension above the crossbar as the RGP-3 permanent goal — the same regulation dimensions in a mounting format suited for existing field surfaces, synthetic turf installations, and facilities where excavation for permanent concrete footings isn't practical or permitted. The 4-inch O.D. aluminum tubing construction with white powder-coat finish is identical to the RGP-3 — the same material specification and appearance in a surface-mount base configuration. The RGP-3H is designed for professional and competitive use, making it the correct specification for programs that need regulation goals without the permanent anchoring that the RGP-3 requires.

Best for:

• Facilities with existing synthetic turf fields or concrete-based surfaces where the excavation required for permanent concrete footing installation is impractical — the surface-mount configuration that provides regulation structural support on these surface types
• Multi-sport facilities that share field space between rugby and other sports where the surface-mount format provides the structural integrity of a permanent goal alongside the installation approach that the field management situation requires
• Schools and facilities where lease agreements, surface restrictions, or field management policies limit permanent subsurface construction — the surface-mount RGP-3H that installs on the surface to provide official-size regulation goals without excavating the field

JayPro Rugby Goal Pads – Post Padding With Custom Graphics for Player Safety

JayPro Sports rugby goal pads provide the player safety padding for rugby goal posts that programs equipping contact sport fields need to protect athletes who come into contact with goal post structures during match play and training sessions. Rugby goal post padding covers the lower portions of the goal post uprights — the portions that players might contact during rucks, mauls, or broken-play situations where athletes are moving toward the goal post area at speed. JayPro Sports rugby goal pads are available with custom lettering and graphics for programs that want their school name, team name, or sponsor branding on the goal post pad — the player safety accessory that also serves as a program identity display at the goal post position that match photography, broadcast coverage, and field-level visibility make prominent throughout every competition. Custom lettering and graphics are available through JayPro's customer service — programs interested in custom graphics contact JayPro's customer service at 800-243-0533 for pricing and artwork details.

Best for:

• Any rugby program that has installed or is installing JayPro rugby goal posts — goal post padding is the safety standard for contact sport programs that have athletes competing in proximity to post structures, and the JayPro pad is the purpose-made fit for JayPro's RGP-3 and RGP-3H goal configurations
• Programs that want their school name, team name, or sponsor branding on the goal post pads — the custom graphics option that turns a safety-required accessory into a program identity and sponsorship activation at the goal post position
• Athletic directors and facilities managers completing a full rugby field installation who want to specify goal posts and compatible goal post pads from the same manufacturer through the same purchase — the coordinated installation that ensures pad fit, installation hardware, and appearance are matched to the JayPro goal post system

JayPro Rugby Goal Post Ground Sleeves – Foundation Hardware for Removable Installation

JayPro Sports ground sleeves for 4-inch rugby and football goal posts provide the subsurface installation hardware that allows a permanently anchored concrete foundation while giving facilities the option of removing the goal post upright sections from the sleeve when the field needs to serve other uses. Ground sleeves install in concrete footings at the correct depth and position — once the concrete is cured, the goal post frame inserts into the sleeve for a structurally secure installation that can be removed when needed without excavating the entire foundation. This configuration serves multi-sport athletic programs that use the same field for rugby and other sports across different seasons — the goal posts come out between rugby seasons and insert back in when rugby returns, without the field construction cost and disruption of installing and removing fully embedded permanent foundations.

Best for:

• Multi-sport facilities and high schools that share a field between rugby, soccer, football, and other seasonal sports — ground sleeves allow the rugby goal posts to be removed between rugby seasons and reinstalled for the next rugby season without disturbing the field or rebuilding the foundation
• Athletic directors and facilities managers planning field installations who want the permanence and structural security of a concrete-anchored foundation with the operational flexibility of a removable goal post frame — the combination that ground sleeves provide versus full-embed permanent alternatives
• Facilities equipping new rugby fields who want to specify the complete JayPro foundation system — goal posts, ground sleeves, and compatible hardware — from the same manufacturer for confirmed dimensional compatibility across the full goal post installation

Who This Is For

• High school athletic directors and facilities managers equipping a rugby field for the first time who need official-size regulation goal posts in the correct installation format for their specific field surface and facilities management requirements
• Collegiate athletic programs installing rugby goals for varsity and club competition that must meet the governing body's official dimension requirements — the JayPro RGP-3 and RGP-3H that provide the 32-foot height and 18-foot 4-inch width that regulation competition requires
• Rugby club directors and program administrators equipping dedicated club fields and shared municipal fields with permanent or surface-mount regulation goals that give their athletes the same competition-standard infrastructure in training that they encounter in match play
• Parks and recreation departments managing public athletic fields for community rugby programs who need durable, low-maintenance regulation goals that serve ongoing public use without the frequent maintenance that lower-specification alternatives require
• Facilities managers completing a multi-sport field installation who need to specify regulation rugby goal posts alongside the safety padding and foundation hardware that a complete, properly equipped rugby field installation includes

How to Choose the Right JayPro Rugby Goal

Permanent installation (RGP-3) vs. surface-mount (RGP-3H) by field type and access — The RGP-3 permanent goal requires excavating concrete footings and anchoring the goal post frame in cured concrete — the correct specification for new field builds and dedicated rugby facilities where excavation is accessible and the goal will remain in its installed position permanently. The RGP-3H surface-mount goal installs on the field surface using surface-mount hardware — the correct specification for synthetic turf, concrete-base surfaces, or any installation where excavation isn't practical or permitted. Identify the field surface type and the facility management's position on excavation before specifying the installation format.

Ground sleeves by multi-sport field use — Programs that share a field between rugby and other seasonal sports benefit from ground sleeves that allow the goal posts to be removed between seasons without disturbing the concrete foundation. Dedicated rugby-only fields where the goal posts will remain permanently in position don't require the added ground sleeve installation step. Identify the field's planned use across sports and seasons before deciding between full-embed permanent installation and ground-sleeve removable configuration.

Goal post pads by program safety policy and identity requirements — Goal post pads are the player safety standard for any contact sport facility. Programs that want custom graphics — school name, team name, sponsor logo — on the pads should plan the custom graphics order through JayPro's customer service at the time of the goal post purchase, as custom pad graphics are a separate order with their own production and delivery timeline.

Regulation compliance by competition governing body — JayPro's RGP-3 and RGP-3H meet the official size specifications for competitive rugby at high school, collegiate, and club levels at 32 feet high and 18 feet 4 inches wide. Confirm the specific governing body's current official size requirements for the level of competition the goals will host before purchasing — different rugby governing bodies may have specific dimensional requirements beyond the standard specification that affect the correct model specification for a given program.

Budget planning for the complete installation — A complete rugby goal installation includes the goal posts (RGP-3 or RGP-3H), ground sleeves if using removable configuration, goal post pads, and any installation labor for concrete footing work. Wind streamers are sold separately. Planning the complete bill of materials before purchasing prevents the common experience of discovering missing components at the installation stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rugby goal posts does Pro Athletic Supply carry? A: Pro Athletic Supply carries JayPro Sports rugby goal posts — the RGP-3 official-size permanently installed rugby goals at 32 feet high (9.8m) by 18 feet 4 inches wide (5.6m), and the RGP-3H official-size surface-mount rugby goals at the same regulation dimensions. Both models feature 4-inch O.D. Schedule 40 aluminum tubing uprights and crossbars with a rust-resistant white powder-coat finish. JayPro Sports ground sleeves for 4-inch pole rugby and football goals are also available. Rugby goal pads are available for both models, with optional custom lettering and graphics.

Q: What is the difference between the JayPro RGP-3 and RGP-3H rugby goals? A: Both the RGP-3 and RGP-3H are official-size rugby goals at 32 feet high by 18 feet 4 inches wide with uprights extending 22 feet above the crossbar — the difference is the installation method. The RGP-3 is designed for permanent installation, anchored into concrete footings excavated at the goal post position. The RGP-3H is designed for surface-mount installation, using surface-mount hardware to secure the goal on the field surface without excavating concrete footings. The correct model depends on the field surface type and the facility's installation requirements — the RGP-3 for new field builds with full footing access; the RGP-3H for synthetic turf, concrete-base surfaces, or any installation where excavation isn't practical.

Q: What are the official dimensions of JayPro rugby goal posts? A: JayPro Sports official rugby goals stand 32 feet high (9.8m) and 18 feet 4 inches wide (5.6m), with uprights extending 22 feet above the crossbar. The uprights and crossbar are constructed from 4-inch O.D. Schedule 40 aluminum tubing. These dimensions meet the official size requirements for high school, collegiate, and club rugby competition. Wind streamers are sold separately and are not included with the base goal package.

Q: Do I need ground sleeves for JayPro rugby goals? A: Ground sleeves are sold separately from the rugby goals themselves. Ground sleeves are the correct specification for programs that want a permanent concrete foundation while maintaining the ability to remove the goal post frame between seasons — multi-sport facilities that use the same field for different sports across the year benefit from the removable goal post capability that ground sleeves provide. Programs that want a fully permanent installation without any planned removal can anchor the goal posts directly into concrete without sleeves. The 4-inch pole ground sleeves available through Pro Athletic Supply are compatible with both the RGP-3 and RGP-3H goal post configurations.

Q: Are goal post pads included with JayPro rugby goals? A: Goal post pads are sold separately from the rugby goal posts. JayPro Sports rugby goal pads are designed to cover the lower upright portions of the goal posts for player safety in contact sport environments. Custom lettering and graphics are available on the pads — programs interested in custom graphics should contact JayPro's customer service at 800-243-0533 for pricing and artwork specifications. Planning the goal post pad order alongside the goal post purchase is recommended so the complete installation is equipped from day one.

Q: What installation does the JayPro RGP-3 permanent rugby goal require? A: The RGP-3 permanent rugby goal requires excavating and pouring concrete footings at the correct position and depth for the goal post's H-frame lower section. The lower H-frame is assembled and placed into the footings while the concrete cures, then braced plumb and level until fully cured. The top upright section is not installed until the concrete is fully cured. Appropriate handling equipment is recommended for lifting and placing the H-frame into footings — the goal post assembly is a substantial structure and requires proper lifting equipment for safe installation. JayPro Sports provides a full installation manual for the RGP-3.

Rugby goal posts are the permanent field infrastructure that every competitive rugby program builds its training and match environment around — and the correct specification of installation format, regulation dimensions, and compatible accessories determines whether the goal post serves the program reliably for years or creates maintenance and regulatory complications that disrupt the competitive schedule. JayPro Sports' RGP-3 and RGP-3H official rugby goals bring 70-plus years of athletic equipment manufacturing to the regulation goal post standard that high school, collegiate, and club rugby programs require. Pro Athletic Supply carries the complete JayPro Sports rugby goal lineup — permanent goals, surface-mount goals, goal pads, and ground sleeves — for programs equipping regulation rugby fields at every level of play.
