DIY Sports Netting- (The Post and Cable Solution) – The Sports Installer
There are really no easy backstop netting solutions. The post-and-cable solution, I've found, is the most reliable and functional system out there when compared to out-of-the-box netting solution that attach to goals or hoops.
Why do people search for a backstop netting solution? It’s ultimately to prevent the ball from either rolling down a steep hill or into vegetation like bushes or the woods. You basically want to keep the ball within the field of play and not have to go chasing it.
(I don’t know how some of you parents feel about it but there’s a subconscious part of me that feels kids should suffer for their sins of missing a shot and have to atone for said sins by having to run down and back up the hill or crawl into the bushes to get it. The fear of fetching outweighs the rewards of extra reps. But hey, that’s just me. I like to live old school.)
Speaking of old school, far be it for me to paraphrase the great Marine General, James Mattis, but I feel one of his quotes best sums up how I feel about sports netting.
To paraphrase his quote, “I come with the best advice I know. I’m not trying to sell you crap. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: if you don’t take my advice on sports netting, I’ll ignore you.” (He was a little more colorful.) The key part of this quote is the part that says, “With tears in my eyes.”
I have this tension because sports netting is a cause of serious tension for me. Why? I try to sell and install quality products but there is just not a quality out-of-the-box backstop netting solution on the market. There just isn’t. It’s all really poor quality.
Every out of the box backstop netting solution has one of the following qualities:
Flimsy product that will fall apart in less than a year.
Made of tent pole stakes that, again, will fall apart in less than a year.
Isn’t cemented in the ground so the poles will lean over and fall down after the first heavy rain or winter thaw.
Airball Grabber
The inherit flaw of having something not fixed to two fully stable poles is you can’t get a sturdy enough or large enough system to meet your basic ball retention needs. Basically, in current configurations, they attach netting to the hoop or goal. As a result, the netting structure can’t be too heavy or the lacrosse or soccer goal itself will fall down. In the case of a basketball hoop, or the structure of the net itself can’t be too wide or heavy because it won’t be able to support itself.
Because of this, backstop nets don’t cover a wide enough distance to be useful for your court. You’re basically playing with a 10-foot wide net which will not provide the ‘Backstop’ you’re trying to achieve in the first place.
The common thread in all the out-of-the-box netting solutions is they won’t last and are inadequate to suit your purposes. So what is the solution?
I have two, both of which have the same basic solution. The backstop netting I suggest is setting two posts, running cabling between the two and hanging a net on it either via carabiners or zip ties.
Solution #1- Run a cable between two trees.
In this solution, the trees act as the posts. You then wrap cabling around the tree and then hang the netting via carabiners or zip ties.
This is a great setup, provided you have two trees that can be used as the pseudo posts. It’s much more doable with a lacrosse or soccer backstop goal as you can move your goal to accommodate the location of the trees.
It’s not so easy with a basketball hoop. You almost have to be lucky for a set up like this to work on a driveway basketball hoop set up.
When dealing with a driveway basketball hoop, most driveways are close to the home and typically don’t have the proper trees in which to attach cabling. If you even have trees, there is typically some sort of shrub or hedgerow which, again, are not conducive to attaching cabling. Therefore, in a driveway basketball hoop set up, your best bet is to set two pressure-treated wood posts and run cabling between them.
Pressure-treated wood posts backstop netting
I will confess that one of the issues homeowners don’t like with this option is the permanency of the poles. I hear you but, like I mentioned, this is why netting is a source of tension for me. There’s no good solution. So I usually resort to what is most functional which is the pressure-treated wood post option.
Also, they may have permanency and some may not like the look but they look a lot better than a net that’s broken and hanging half off the hoop. In addition, the picture above is in the wide open and protecting the ball from going off the backend of a retaining wall. In most cases, the net and posts will be blending in to a backdrop of woods giving it a camouflaged feeling.
Materials Needed: I will have all of these items bundled in my shopping cart should you not want to be bothered with going to Home Depot and just want to buy them and have them shipped to you.
Block for bottom of hole. You will need two, one for each hole. The purpose of the block is to maximize the height of the netting. If you have block in the bottom of the hole, it maximizes the depth and prevents heaving/leaning while giving the post the firmness it needs out of the ground. I prefer fast-setting concrete so it’s a one-day job. You need roughly 5 bags per post. You may have to take some back but it’s better to have more than less.4″X4″X12′ Pressure Treated Wood Posts. I like to keep a minimum of 2′ in the ground. This is why I like using the blocks. it increase the depth of the hole without sacrificing the height of the netting.You will need a washer on the outside of the post.You can go thicker but this is enough. You can get a longer run or a shorter run and buy it by the linear foot.This will be on the ends of the cable. You need two sets. One for each end.You really only need one but two can’t hurt. You can also go a little heavier duty but you don’t need it.A far less expensive option is to use zip ties.
As for the netting itself, the easiest solution is to order it from Gourock.com by the panel. Choose the netting you’re going to need by the sport. For instance, a basketball backstop net will not require the same netting as a lacrosse backstop net. Take a look on their site. Their calculator is pretty easy to follow.
Knowledge base needed: I didn’t go through a step-by-step instructional on how to do this because there are too many tools and variables that, if you don’t have them or know how to do this, I don’t think you’re going to be able to wing it. It’s not that it’s exceptionally difficult or challenging. It’s that you either have the tools and skill set or you probably don’t. For instance, working with cabling can be a pain in the butt if you don’t have cable cutters. As is digging without a digging bar, post-hole digger or wheel barrow. You will also need a drill with a decent-length wood drill bit. If you have them, again, it’s easy. But going to buy them for this project is too cost prohibitive. (I hope I don’t sound like an a-hole. I’m just shooting you straight.)

Everything about serving in volleyball: what it depends on, how time-outs affect and why aces are not the main thing
Mikhailov, Klyuka and Zhigalov share their secrets.
Any volleyball match begins with a serve, and it is this that often determines the result. “Serving and receiving are the main components of volleyball,” the head coach of the Russian national team Tuomas Sammelvuo reminded us recently.
If the opponent bombards with power serves or brilliantly executes a glider, and there is no reception on the other side of the net, then even the super attackers may not be saved, who will be forced to attack on allotted balls and a triple block. Submission is a formidable weapon of both individual players and entire teams.
What does the flow depend on? Why sometimes the whole team serves in the libero? How are submissions handled? BUSINESS Online was helped to find answers to these and other questions by the top pitchers of the Russian Championship from the extended application of the national team for the 2020 season - diagonal Dynamo Maxim Zhigalov, Fakel Egor Klyuka and universal striker Kazan Zenit Maxim Mikhailov .

"ACES ARE A BONUS"
When choosing interlocutors, we focused on their aces statistics, but the players themselves suggested that this is an important, but not the most objective indicator. Within teams, they look more at other numbers - for example, how many points were scored in the line-up when a particular player was serving. After all, the same slash (a passing ball) is almost a point won, and a distant minus at the reception usually deprives the opponent of the attack and allows you to realize the freeball.
In addition, in the ranking of the best acemen, one should not forget about the number of serve losses. You can make 50 aces and 100 mistakes, or you can make 30 aces and 40 mistakes. In the second case, the efficiency will obviously be higher.
“The main thing is to serve steadily, regularly hitting the reception, and aces are already a bonus. If they slip, it’s not bad, ”says Klyuka, who is now fourth in the super league in aces (26) after Christian Padar (30), Drazen Luburic (29) and Zhigalov (28). By the way, Luburic's number of mistakes goes off scale - 61. But the Russians have about one mistake per ace.
“There is an unspoken rule – if a teammate in front of you doesn't serve, you must serve. There is also an opinion that it is better to send out in length than in the net if you are at risk. In this case, there is a chance to catch one of the receivers, who will not have time to dodge a quick serve, ”says Zhigalov.
According to Mikhailov, it is believed that it is permissible to make one or two mistakes for ten power innings. The requirements for the accuracy of the glider are higher, although now there are volleyball players who perform this element as difficult as possible for the receivers, but at the same time with a high risk of error for themselves.
“I never give carte blanche to mistakes. But they are partly natural at risk, ”said Vladimir Alekno , the coach of Kazan Zenit , in an interview.
On the site of the Volley Service agency, where the statistics of the Russian championship is stored, it is possible to filter players by the column "cf", but this is not a service efficiency coefficient, but the number of aces on average per set. According to this indicator, the blocker of Zenit Kazan is leading this season Vadim Likhosherstov (0.67), Kluka and Zhigalov (0.54 each).
WHAT IS THE KEY FACTOR IN SUBMISSION?
Players note that many factors affect the serve: physical condition, score on the scoreboard, attitude of the coach, level of risk, new balls, lighting in the hall, adrenaline level.
And at the same time, the serve is the element in which the volleyball player fights only with himself - there is only him and the ball. That is why many consider the key psychological factor.
“I put the psychological state first, the physical form second. If you are ready in your head and your body is charged, there is little that can confuse you,” says Zhigalov.

Mikhailov agrees with this. “The main thing is self-confidence. It's one hundred percent. If it is, a good pitcher can serve with any strength and with a minimum of errors. In second place, Maxim puts a purely technical factor - a toss. Its consistent implementation is the key to success. Zenit recalls that in childhood he did 100-150 tosses in training - it was necessary for the ball to reach a certain height and fall to a specific point. Mikhailov puts the lighting in the hall on the third place in importance. If the ball gets lost in the beams of the spotlights during the toss, this is a problem for the players.
Kluka also talks about self-confidence and inner peace, but at the same time puts physical condition first. “If you want to hit something good, you have to hit the ball well. You can’t do this with a sore shoulder, ”Egor, who is now just injured, remarks reasonably.
"If you're not sure about your serve, it will never fly - it's the law," Olympic champion Nikolay Apalikov said in an interview . “The thought of an error generates an error, and in any component of the game,” our interlocutors are unanimous.
But how to get rid of extraneous thoughts when it's 23:24 on the scoreboard? What to think about at a time when the fate of the match depends on your serve? Both Mikhailov and Klyuka recommend concentrating not on the result of the future serve, but on where to serve, with what effort, how to correctly complete all the steps of the serve - run, jump and kick.
Zhigalov described this process in detail: “At one time in the national team, they suggested me a trick that helped me. I was told: “Fool your brain. Think not of a mistake, but on the contrary, of a perfect serve.” Before serving, I look at the front line - I remind myself of the point where I need to push off from the court. Then I look at the other side, I imagine where the ball will fly approximately after the serve. And at the moment of the jump and exit under the ball, you concentrate on it and imagine the trajectory. This is the ideal state of mind that usually results in a successful pitch. If the thought slips through: “Damn, I threw it up wrong” or “What if I make a mistake?” - with a high degree of probability there will be a breakdown, ”said the diagonal Dynamo.
Quite often, setters try to give their partners additional confidence by organizing pick-ups through them. For the player to score and go to serve in a good mood. Volleyball players note that, in general, with a “hot hand” in the attack, confidence on the pitch really increases slightly, but there is no direct relationship - everything is individual. “I often don’t go on the attack, but the pitch flies well. Sometimes it's the other way around. You try to compensate with what you get,” Klyuka said.
Egor Klyuka / photo: fakelvolley.ru
In the minds of the fans, the opinion was clearly set aside that if a player hit hard in the center of the net or hit far out of bounds, then he took a risk. This often justifies mistakes. So what does risk on the pitch mean?
“Correct execution of the element, but only with maximum effort: faster run-up, higher jump, stronger blow. Of course, this makes it harder to hit the ball at the right height, with the right speed and spin. Accordingly, the risk of error increases, explains Mikhailov. - With competent coaches, you have the right to take risks only when you yourself are sure of it. Naturally, if you have never served in a jump, and then you decide to surprise everyone and plant it in the center of the net, it will not be a risk, but stupidity.
Each team and each coach has their own service tactics. Usually there are a few volleyball players who are given carte blanche on their best serve, they always have the right to risk. There are performers who require a stable middle serve so that the team can work on the block and in defense.
“Sometimes there is no need to take risks. If the opponent is not removed from simple innings, this does not make sense. And it’s another matter if he shows 80 percent of the implementation of attacks from a good reception, ”adds Mikhailov.

It happens that players look at the coach before serving and he orders a serve to a specific area. This is most often the case with glider performers, as it is a more controlled ball put into play. When a 110 km/h power serve is performed, the control of the ball is much more difficult, so players usually focus on the center of the court, and not aim at the lines.
“High-level teams with top players can also direct power passes with a sufficient level of accuracy,” Zhigalov clarifies. - As for the appeal to the coach before the serve, this may be due to changes on the other side of the court. For example, they changed the player to whom we filed for installation. Of course, we need to refine the new tactics. As for the risk, it depends on the game situation, score and, of course, the state of the player. If 3/4 of your serve power is enough to cause problems for the opponent, then you simply control the direction. When the opponent copes with the reception, then you tumble to the fullest, if you have inner confidence. Here at Dynamo, if you feel your serve, then no one puts you in the box - you can vary it.
HOW DOES THE TIME OUT AFFECT THE SERVER?
Time-out is one of the coach's standard tools to stop a series of innings. However, sometimes a pause is taken even before the first serve, if the player has already dealt serious damage to the technique during the match.
When the server makes a mistake after a time-out, this is considered to be a tactical victory for the coach. However, quite often timeouts do not help: the volleyball player makes an ace, goes on a break, and after it he gets another point from the serve. Like, for example, Kluka in the November match with Kazan Zenit (3:1).
“Someone is confused by a timeout, but for me personally it is an opportunity to restore my breath. When you make a series, it becomes quickened and it is difficult to serve at the maximum, ”admitted Yegor.
Zhigalov noted that when they take a timeout on your serve, it's even nice - it means they understand that you are dangerous. Of the minuses - a change in rhythm. Mikhailov speaks about the same.
“Of course, the timeout during the series has an effect, because you already have a full hand, you remember the feeling after the previous serve very well. After the break, I want to continue the series, but it is difficult to repeat the serve with the same force. At the same time, you understand that if you loosen the serve and serve more reliably, the opponent can withdraw. It's a very subtle moment."
By the way, it is during Mikhailov's serves that the Kazan volleyball center has been immersed in silence for several years - a special musical screensaver and announcers urge the fans to do this.
“This is not my initiative. Fans at one time, apparently, decided that in silence my pitch flies better and such a tradition has developed. I went through a lot in the course of my career and I won’t say that noise bothers me. Unless it rings less in my head and it’s easier to tune in to serve, ”Maxim explained.
There are times when coaches take a time-out for a player who has just entered the court. Volleyball players say that serving after coming on as a substitute is a completely different story. You need to have a strong character to cope with the pressure and responsibility, because you are released instead of another player with the hope of improving the service.
“It's much more difficult to serve after a substitution. In the game you feel the hand, the jump. Even the heartbeat is different. Standing on the bench, it is impossible to maintain yourself in the same state. Therefore, there are two tasks - to be more or less warmed up and mentally prepare yourself to do what you are good at. Cast aside all doubts, do your job and have fun, ”Zhigalov shares his personal experience, who dragged a lot of endings with his serves.
Andrey Surmachevsky , Kazan's Zenit player , is now considered the Superleague's main specialist in reinforcing serve. His talent was also appreciated by Sammelvuo, who took the player to the World Cup in the fall, where Surmachevsky also demonstrated a deadly power serve.
Almost every player has a ritual before serving. Some players kiss the ball or wipe the soles of their shoes with their hands, others make a certain number of hits on the court, and others must get the ball while standing on the playing court.
They say that if there is any failure in this ritual, it must be a mistake. “I don't give a damn. If one of the usual movements cannot be repeated, the ball flies as well, ”says Klyuka.
“I watched a lot of different pitchers. And he also wondered why everyone constantly repeats the same thing, - says Zhigalov. “Probably it’s a matter of habit. You just do a certain set of actions to understand that you are ready to serve. I have changed these rituals several times in the course of my career. Just sometimes in volleyball, as in life, you want something new. I'm not sure if the disruption of the ritual affects the pitch. Yes, and it rarely happens. I know that in football, ballboys can both drag out the game and throw the balls away from the players. We are friendlier."
There is also a legend among volleyball players that if on the day of the game the serve flies at the morning training, then in the evening it will not. Our interlocutors debunk this myth.
“Whoever believes in this, suffers from it. I was also told more than once in the morning: "Leave the aces for the evening, for the game." Well I do not know. I don't see any logic in this. Often in the game I can serve much better than in training. There is a different mood in the game,” Klyuka believes.
Zhigalov calls it, rather, a superstition, which appeared due to a series of coincidences. He is not afraid of him, as well as black cats crossing the road. “It’s better to believe that if the pitch flies in the morning, then in the evening it will be even better. Due to adrenaline, emotional charge.
WHY IN SOME MATCHES THE WHOLE TEAM SERVES THE LIBERO?
This tactic sometimes looks strange, because liberos are a priori considered the best receivers in their teams.
“The libero is not always the best receiver,” Klyuka disagrees. “Some liberos may feel uncomfortable in certain formations or take on too much ground. ”
Sometimes pitchers don't care who to pitch against, because in a particular team the libero and the kickers can receive on the same level. There is another factor - the risk on power serves, when the direction of the serve goes by the wayside.
“Tactics before the match can be like this: the glider is looking for a specific player, and the power serve is optional. In this case, the players may not go to the line, but serve strongly to the center, where the libero is located. In addition, do not forget that the game is a stressful situation. You may not feel the ball well, or you may be very worried, or you may not be technically prepared enough. In this case, you don’t aim, but serve to the center of the site, ”explains Mikhailov.

During large tournaments, the speed of the ball after the serve is usually measured. Zhigalov recalls the figure of 120 km / h, Klyuka and Mikhailov, according to press reports, exactly reached the mark of 125 km / h. The world record is now shared by Ivan Zaitsev and Wilfredo Leon - 134 km / h each.
However, the servers themselves note that speed is not the most important thing in serving. If the ball flies straight and spins perfectly, the receiver will adjust and accept. More important is the trajectory and torsion. This is technically more difficult to execute, but if the ball flies in an arc, a speed of 9 may be enough for an ace.0 - 100 km/h.
In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about a hybrid feed, when both a power feed and a glider can be executed from the same toss. She is full-fledged in strength, but due to the movement of the brush she can plan. This is difficult for the recipients.
Klyuka notes that such a serve was famously worked out by the setter of "Modena" and the US team Mickey Christenson : “Or, for example, Likhosherstov started to serve with both hands. Throwing on the glider, makes power.
“We got used to it: if it's a glider, you have to bring it up, and if it's a power one, it's enough to knock it over yourself. Now it's not like that. Glider sometimes for joy it is good to knock out three meters. Some teams have very good gliders. For example, we have Ivan Yakovlev, Ilyas Kurkaev, and Artyom Volvich serving very well, ”said Valentin Golubev , the libero of the Russian national team , in an interview with BUSINESS Online.
HOW DOES THE FEED WORK?
In each team, serves during training are practiced differently, depending on the coaching approach and game schedule. During the pre-match warm-up, this element comes last. Often this happens during the training itself, especially testing someone else's gym. Some coaches find it helpful to serve when tired.
“In Fakel, we often serve before the main classes. Someone sees the point in doing this against the background of fatigue - each coach has his own methodology. We sometimes have a task to make a certain volume, or a certain time is simply allotted for serving - again, depending on the goal, ”says Klyuka. He admits that if teammate Padar takes the power of the serve, then he takes it with the whip of a blow.
Players note that the serve can be adjusted at any age, it all depends on the desire. Technique can be constantly improved in search of the perfect toss and meeting point with the ball.
Mikhailov recalls that in Zenit Kazan there were periods when the team had a really bad serve. Then special trainings were dedicated to her.
“When there were too many mistakes or a poor ratio of goals won and lost, special attention was paid to the serve. They turned on a loud phonogram in the arena, knocked down the pulse and did various actions to bring the conditions as close as possible to the game ones - this is how they worked out the serve, ”says Maxim.
Basically, in current configurations, they attach netting to the hoop or goal. As a result, the netting structure can’t be too heavy or the lacrosse or soccer goal itself will fall down. In the case of a basketball hoop, or the structure of the net itself can’t be too wide or heavy because it won’t be able to support itself.
You then wrap cabling around the tree and then hang the netting via carabiners or zip ties.
I hear you but, like I mentioned, this is why netting is a source of tension for me. There’s no good solution. So I usually resort to what is most functional which is the pressure-treated wood post option.
I prefer fast-setting concrete so it’s a one-day job. You need roughly 5 bags per post. You may have to take some back but it’s better to have more than less.4″X4″X12′ Pressure Treated Wood Posts. I like to keep a minimum of 2′ in the ground. This is why I like using the blocks. it increase the depth of the hole without sacrificing the height of the netting.You will need a washer on the outside of the post.You can go thicker but this is enough. You can get a longer run or a shorter run and buy it by the linear foot.This will be on the ends of the cable. You need two sets. One for each end.You really only need one but two can’t hurt. You can also go a little heavier duty but you don’t need it.A far less expensive option is to use zip ties.
Their calculator is pretty easy to follow.
5mm x 1-1/2" braided knotless netting with rope borders
5", 5.5" x 5.5", 6"x6", or 6"x8" pole sizes
However, you should not kindle this feeling in yourself, this will not make anyone feel better. 
What if there is no one in your memory who could fit this explanation? 
I was told: “Fool your brain. Think not of a mistake, but on the contrary, of a perfect serve.” Before serving, I look at the front line - I remind myself of the point where I need to push off from the court. Then I look at the other side, I imagine where the ball will fly approximately after the serve. And at the moment of the jump and exit under the ball, you concentrate on it and imagine the trajectory. This is the ideal state of mind that usually results in a successful pitch. If the thought slips through: “Damn, I threw it up wrong” or “What if I make a mistake?” - with a high degree of probability there will be a breakdown, ”said the diagonal Dynamo. 
“I often don’t go on the attack, but the pitch flies well. Sometimes it's the other way around. You try to compensate with what you get,” Klyuka said. 
- As for the appeal to the coach before the serve, this may be due to changes on the other side of the court. For example, they changed the player to whom we filed for installation. Of course, we need to refine the new tactics. As for the risk, it depends on the game situation, score and, of course, the state of the player. If 3/4 of your serve power is enough to cause problems for the opponent, then you simply control the direction. When the opponent copes with the reception, then you tumble to the fullest, if you have inner confidence. Here at Dynamo, if you feel your serve, then no one puts you in the box - you can vary it. 
However, quite often timeouts do not help: the volleyball player makes an ace, goes on a break, and after it he gets another point from the serve. Like, for example, Kluka in the November match with Kazan Zenit (3:1). 
At the same time, you understand that if you loosen the serve and serve more reliably, the opponent can withdraw. It's a very subtle moment." 
Some players kiss the ball or wipe the soles of their shoes with their hands, others make a certain number of hits on the court, and others must get the ball while standing on the playing court. 
Our interlocutors debunk this myth.
