4Install net clips (15) .
The Quick Clip™ rapid release net system lets the net pull away from the rim. This
reduces the risk of player injury or property damage. However, improper installation
or a ball making contact at an odd angle may disengage the net clip from the goal
rim. Usually, the clip is reinstalled with little or no problem. We hope that you agree
this inconvenience is minor when compared to the safety of the players.
