Abstract
A basket ball goal protector having two portions, one which is placed on top of the goal and the second is placed on the bottom. The two portions are hinged together so the basketball rim and goal can be enclosed between the two portions. Hooks are provided on the underside of the first portion so the net can be secured and will not get in the way as the two portions are secured to the goal. A lock is also provided so the protector can be secured and, can be removed only by authorized personnel. In addition, a seal is provided which will completely seal the goal from the elements.
