Basketball Goals Accessories

Edge padding is strongly recommended by Atlanta Hoops for the safety of players with an acrylic backboard.

Backboard edge padding is also very important for adjustable height basketball goals that allow the backboard to be lowered to accommodate smaller players. Taller players could hit their head on the corner of the backboard or rim. Acrylic backboards with metal frames have sharp corners and should be covered with an edge pad. Non adjustable basketball goals that are set at the regulation height of ten feet are less likely to need edge padding unless you have a player who can jump that high.

Adding a protective pole pad to your new basketball goal is a good idea. Players charging towards the goal to do a lay-up could hit the pole and get hurt. Wrapping the pole with a pole pad will keep serious injuries to a minimum. Pole pads are not pole decorations or a way of advertising the product manufacturer. Our pole pads can be reversed to an all black surface to minimize advertising and product naming.

Rolbak Basketball Nets

The most common accessory by far is the Rolback basketball net by Rolbak. Adding netting under the backboard and rim keeps the ball from rolling down a steep driveway or into a neighbor’s yard. Players who spend more time chasing basketball down hills or into streets will become discouraged from playing. Perimeter netting is also available to block hills or flower beds and bushes.

Designed with fun in mind, the Rolbak basketball net attaches easily to the backboard. The Rolbak basketball net can be positioned and angled to direct the rebound back to you or in any direction. It is a great training tool that can be used in practice to improve basketball skills. The shooter concentrates more on the shot and less on having to chase after the ball.

A basketball hoop on the driveway doesn't have to mean damaged gardens, cars, or windows. Rolbak basketball nets are there to block those missed shots before they do the damage. Rolbak basketball nets also help prevent missed shots from going past the goal and into the street. This helps to improve the safety of users (especially children) by reducing the number of balls that have to be chased into the street.
