Basketball backboard padding is a requirement for National League play and health and safety.
The foam construction basketball backboard padding protects the basketball players from hitting the edge of the boards during play.
There are 2 types of basketball backboard in the UK, either frame mounted backboards or simply attached to the supporting arms.
Framed basketball backboards are 38-40mm thick and require the bolt on type of basketball backboard padding. Usually found on portable competition basketball goals manufactured by companies like Schelde, Sureshot, Playmaker, GES or Hydroplay.
Standard basketball backboards are mainly mounted straight onto the support arms in the UK and therefore only require 20mm grooved basketball backboard padding.
Requires heavy duty glue to fix to boards, not supplied with product.
Basketball backboard padding should be checked regularly and refixed as necessary if it works loose during robust play.
