Description

Extra point and field goal attempts are exciting moments in football, but they also send plenty of footballs flying beyond the end zone. Football backstop netting Systems by Sportsfield Specialties help contain those kicks by installing a tall protective net behind the goalposts. The system captures footballs that travel past the uprights, helping keep games moving while protecting spectators, nearby walkways, and surrounding facilities.

These netting systems are designed specifically for football environments where repeated kicks can send balls well beyond the playing surface. The netting acts as a barrier that stops or slows footballs before they reach areas outside the field. This helps stadium staff reduce ball retrieval time while maintaining a safer environment for fans and personnel.

Football backstop netting systems are commonly installed at high schools, colleges, and professional stadiums where goalpost kicks occur throughout games and practice sessions. By creating a reliable containment zone behind the uprights, these systems help facilities operate more efficiently while maintaining a clean, professional look around the end zone.
