Many people see the basketball net as the most important piece of a basketball system. After all www.arsenalteamshop.com/Tomas-Rosicky-Arsenal-FC-Jersey.html , isn't that where all the points are scored? But basketball backboards are one of the most important pieces of a quality basketball system. They assist with shooting, scoring www.arsenalteamshop.com/Thomas-Vermaelen-Arsenal-FC-Jersey.html , and rebounding.

The backboard doesn't just hold the goal in place. A backboard assists in getting the ball into the net. Virtually all backboards come with a shooter square. This is the outline right above the goal. Sometimes it is in white, sometimes in orange. This gives the players something to aim for when setting up a shot.

Though veteran and well practiced players don't use the shooter's square as much www.arsenalteamshop.com/Theo-Walcott-Arsenal-FC-Jersey.html , it is essential to those who are learning the game or just playing for fun. When practicing, players aim for the center of the shooter's square. This will give them the feel of how hard to shoot and how to achieve the much longer arc for "swoosh". The shooter's square is essential for perfecting your shots.

Backboards are also the central figure in rebounding. Without the backboard www.arsenalteamshop.com/Serge-Gnabry-Arsenal-FC-Jersey.html , rebounding would not be possible. This is where varying sizes of backboards come in. Regulation size is 72" x 42". This size gives you the maximum area for rebounds. Smaller backboards still give you great rebound practice as well.

Backboards come in a variety of materials and each has there own benefits. Competition style backboards as well as NCAA and NBA regulation backboards are crafted from glass. Typically the glass is tempered and thick enough to withstand intense play. Glass backboards are perfect for competition style play since they give the ultimate ball response.
