BACKSTOP

How much do you trust your accuracy? That’s what we thought. No judgment here. Spare yourself the added cost of a house repair or neighborly dispute over a dented car. The Zelus Barricade Backstop is currently 15 percent off, with 12x9 and 16-x10 options that come in black and red. It’s portable, durable, lightweight (less than 15 pounds) and easy to set up.

GOAL

Birds singing, bees buzzing, leaves rustling … and lacrosse balls pinging inside pipe. These are the sounds of spring. You do not need to drop $500 on an official lacrosse goal. Champion Sports offers a sturdy and perfectly suitable solution in 4x4 (box) and 6x6 (field) backyard goals, both currently discounted.
