Backstop net system

A system comprising:

• a plurality of wall segments;
• a plurality of stanchions, each stanchion of the plurality of stanchions including a main support pole, wherein a height of the main support pole of the plurality of stanchions may be varied and wherein the stanchions connect together two adjacent wall segments that are coplanar;
• a plurality of corner stanchions, each corner stanchion having a main support pole, wherein a height of the main support pole of the plurality of corner stanchions may be varied and wherein the corner stanchions connect together two adjacent wall segments that are oriented perpendicular to each other;
• a first goal;
• the first goal being connected to two adjacent wall segments by two of the plurality of stanchions;
• a second goal;
• the second goal being connected to two adjacent wall segments by two of the plurality of stanchions;
• one or more doors, the one or more door connected to adjacent wall segments by two of the plurality of stanchions, wherein the plurality of wall segments, plurality of stanchions, plurality of corner stanchions, the first goal, the second goal, and the one or more doors define a perimeter of a playing field;
• wherein the first goal is located at a first end line of the playing field;
• wherein the second goal is located at a second end line of the playing field;
• a net that encompasses at least a portion of the perimeter of the playing field, the net being secured to the plurality of stanchions and the plurality of corner stanchions;
• the net comprises a first roof portion, the first roof portion includes a first end of the first roof portion located substantially parallel with the first end line and includes a second end of the first roof portion located a first distance into playing field from the first end line;
• wherein the second end of the first roof portion is connected to a first stanchion of the plurality of stanchions and wherein the second end of the first roof portion is connected to a second stanchion of the plurality of stanchions;
• a first winch;
• a first line connected between the first winch to an end of the main support pole of the first stanchion, wherein the first winch applies an outward force, with respect to the playing field, on the end of the main support pole of the first stanchion by shortening a length of the first line between the first winch and the end of the main support pole of the first stanchion;
• a second winch;
• and
• a second line connected between the second winch to an end of the main support pole of the second stanchion, wherein the second winch applies an outward force, with respect to the playing field, on the end of the main support pole of the second stanchion by shortening a length of the second line between the second winch and the end of the main support pole of the second stanchion.
