More about ball catcher systems
Ball catcher systems are an important part of many sports facilities. They prevent balls from ending up outside the field, on surrounding grounds, against buildings or towards the public. This contributes to safety, ease of use and a neat layout of the sports park.
W&H supplies ball catcher systems for, among others, football pitches, hockey pitches, handball courts, tennis courts, sports halls and multi-purpose sports facilities. The right configuration depends on the sport, the location where the ball catcher system will be placed, and the desired height and width.
A good ball catcher system helps limit risks around the playing field. Especially for pitches that border roads, parking areas, walking paths, homes or other sports fields, it is important to keep balls within the sports zone as much as possible.
By strategically placing ball catcher systems, sports clubs and facilities can improve safety for athletes, visitors, local residents and passers-by.
Every sport places different requirements on a ball catcher system. In football, it’s often high balls behind the goals, while in hockey, handball or tennis, different speeds, directions and field situations play a role. That’s why it’s important to tailor the ball catcher system to the sport and day-to-day use.
We think along with you about the right height, width, net choice, construction and placement. This creates a solution that fits the facility and the type of sport.
Ball catcher systems can be installed in ground sleeves. This ensures a solid and practical installation and makes it possible to position the construction properly around the field. Depending on the application, you can look at the right post spacing, height and net construction.
A configuration with ground sleeves is particularly suitable for sports fields where a fixed, durable and neat solution is desired.
Ball catcher systems can also be used in stadiums. Here, safety, sightlines, appearance and ease of use play an important role. Depending on the situation, you can consider fixed or hoistable solutions.
A hoistable ball catcher system can be practical when the situation in the stadium changes or when the net does not always need to be visible or in use. This keeps the facility flexibly usable.
No sports field or facility is the same. That’s why ball catcher systems are available in different sizes and configurations. Think of height, width, net type, post construction, fixing method and placement.
We can help you find a suitable solution based on the field situation, sport-specific requirements and surroundings. This ensures the ball catcher system is properly tailored to the use of the facility.
When choosing a ball catcher system, it’s important to look closely at the location. Where do balls most often fly out? What risks are there in the area? How high does the ball catcher system need to be? And what construction fits the field?
By answering these questions well in advance, you create a functional solution that increases safety and fits within the layout of the sports facility. We are happy to advise on the right application.
