Basketball Safety. March Madness is here! If your church has an indoor or outdoor basketball facility, use this list to help protect the children and adults who use it:
- For baskets located near a wall, secure padded mats on the wall under each basket to cushion collisions with the wall.
- Check that baskets have breakaway rims.
- If glass backboards are used, check that rim restrainers are also used.
- Check that nets are in good repair and replace any chain nets with soft nets.
- On outdoor courts, check that the pole support for the backboard is located outside the playing area, including distance for a safety buffer.
- On outdoor courts, check that weatherproof padding has been put around the pole.
- Inspect outdoor courts and the area surrounding the court for hazards.
