To secure a stipulated goal dimension while improving the safety of a player.

This structure of the vertical column of a goal for a sport is constituted by providing it with a vertical column member 11 and an impact mitigation material 15 attached around the vertical column member 11 so as to mitigate impact force when the player violently collides. The prescribed length part in an axial direction of the vertical column member 11 is formed so as to make the outer diameter dimension smaller than the other part and the impact mitigation material 15 is formed so as to provide the vertical column of the goal for the sport with the almost same outer diameter dimension over the entire length at the time of attaching the impact mitigation material 15 there.
