Sports safety netting is an essential part of indoor and outdoor facilities. It protects spectators, defines boundaries, and adds flexibility without disrupting play. At InCord, we specialize in custom sports netting solutions that fit the needs of each space, whether it’s a school gym, training facility, or multipurpose sports complex.
To help break down the basics, we asked Meghan Cunningham, our Sports Netting Sales Manager, to share some quick insights from the field.
Why Sports Netting Matters
“People often think of netting as a simple add-on, but it’s really a core part of the facility design. It’s about protection, but also important for performance and flow.”, says InCord Sports Safety Netting Sales Manager Meghan Cunningham.
Netting helps define play zones, separate activities, and shield spectators and equipment from stray balls or gear. It’s used in everything from batting cages and basketball courts to indoor soccer and volleyball arenas.
Spectator Protection
- Baseball and softball netting around fields and bleachers
- Indoor soccer arena barriers that do not impact views
- Multi-sport complexes utilize retractable and static netting for versatility
Bonus: Netting keeps the game flowing by minimizing stoppage and distractions.
Ball Containment & Court Safety
Fast-paced sports need boundaries to stay safe and efficient. Containment netting keeps equipment on the court and protects surrounding areas. Great for:
- Volleyball and basketball courts
- Tennis enclosures and pickleball courts
- Indoor lacrosse or soccer nets for goals and scoreboard protection.
Divider Nets for Multi-Zone Flexibility
Want to run multiple games or practices at once? Divider nets let you quickly turn one space into many. Ideal for:
- Sports arenas
- Field houses
- Multi-court gyms
- Indoor training facilities
Bonus: InCord also provides new and replacement nets for retractable systems, allowing for dynamic use of space.

- Indoor and outdoor batting cage nets
- Baseball/softball pitching tunnels

- Ceiling-mounted barrier nets
- Wall protection
- Equipment backstops

- Seasonal events
- Pop-up practices
- Rental or shared-use spaces
Goal & Backstop Netting

- Soccer fields
- Hockey arenas
- Lacrosse fields
Netting for Coaching & Safety Drills
Use netting to isolate drills, contain rebound areas, or create visual boundaries in practice. It's an effective and safe way to:
- Guide players
- Create skill zones
- Build confidence
No One-Size-Fits-All Solution
“Every space is different. That’s why custom sizing and material choice matter so much. InCord tailors each system to the sport, the layout, and the level of play.” - Meghan Cunningham.
InCord works with facilities across the country to design sports netting systems that fit their specific needs, using high-quality materials and hardware that is built to last. Whether you need wall-to-wall protection, divider netting, or barrier netting, your solution should be custom, never cookie-cutter.
Expert Planning = Safer Play
“A lot of our customers come in unsure of what they need, and that’s totally okay. We connect them with our trusted distributor partners who guide them through every step, making sure the solution fits their space, purpose, and budget.” - Meghan Cunningham.
From initial layout to final install, InCord helps ensure your netting works and keeps working. That means choosing the right mesh size, cord gauge, and support systems with safety in mind.
