Have a look at the site below. A \"Torwand\" is a goal wall, probably a wall with a goal painted on it. The children would be shooting for goal, i.e. trying to get the ball within the painted zone of the wall that marked the goal. Hope this helps.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Pee Eff (X): the painted goal has 2 holes, one in the upper right and the other in the lower left corner, and you try to score a goal by kicking the ball in one of these holes.

agree  Edward L. Crosby III: Maybe, but caution is advised. This is a Hungarian site, and the "English" is poor ("Experience yourself as a real rocket on the mini soccer pitch. The pitch has an artificial covering and the flow light system gives joung and old the feeling of joy.")

agree  Steffen Walter: with Patrick's description and Edward's caveat but "goal wall" should be an understandable creation providing for the case that the concept is not yet well-known in the English-speaking world.

Explanation:
As a description of the activity, this would be more meaningful to me than "goal wall", but maybe that's due to the fact that such an item would be a comparitive rarity here in the U.S.
