Backboard & pole padding

Basketball Backboard Padding & Pole Pads

Basketball backboard padding wraps the bottom edge and lower sides of the backboard so a player who goes up for a rebound meets foam, not glass or steel. This page carries PRO-MOLD padding in channel-mount, glue-on and outdoor styles, edge padding sized to the board, and pole and post pads for the uprights underneath.

Padding is the first thing an inspector checks and the last thing anyone notices when it is right. Fresh pads in your school color finish a gym.

Pole & post padding

Which pole pad fits my basketball post?

Measure the post. Square posts take a fitted pad or a base pad sized to the post, round or odd sizes take a wrap-around pad, and Titan and Church Yard systems have replacement padding made for that model.

Common questions

How do I pick backboard padding?

What is a basketball pole pad?

A pole pad wraps the post that holds the backboard so a player who runs into it hits foam. Fitted and base pads fit 4 in. to 8 in. square posts, and wrap-around pads cover round posts from 3 in. to 8 in.
