The Value of Lacrosse Backstop Netting
With summer baseball well underway,
some forward-thinking facility managers are already looking ahead to
improvements that can be implemented in between games or during the upcoming
off season.
On the baseball or softball field,
injuries can happen anywhere, including the backstop area behind home plate.
You can never be too cautious when it comes to protecting athletes and fans.
That’s why backstop netting is so important. In 2018, all 30 MLB teams extended
the protective netting around home plate to prevent low fly balls from injuring
fans at the field-level.
Three Key Reasons You Need Backstop
Netting
Safety: Adding backstop netting can
increase safety for both spectators and athletes. Our backstop netting systems
are in place for a wide range of teams from youth, middle school, high school,
college, all the way up to professional and semi-professional teams. The
backstop netting protects fans from flying bats or pop-up fly balls and can
even help protect the catcher in some cases.
Spectator experience: While safety is the top
priority, backstop netting is also more visually
appealing than traditional heavy chain-link fencing which can be difficult for
fans to see through. Properly installed backstop netting can help keep athletes
and fans safe while optimizing the game day experience. Netting simply provides
more coverage than a fence – because we can hang a net much higher than any
fence can be built.
Easy maintenance & long lasting: Our baseball and softball netting
systems
are easy to remove for the off season. This comes in extremely handy for
facilities or fields offering multiple sports throughout the year. Finally, our
netting can be weatherproofed to withstand harsh conditions that would rust a
traditional chain link fence.
