Abstract
A device for connecting a soccer net to the horizontal crossbar of a soccer goal eight feet above the ground without using a ladder includes a resilient clip having an inner surface which is shaped and dimensioned to receive the horizontal crossbar and a line long enough to be thrown over the crossbar and hang down low enough to be reached and pulled down. The clip is attached to the edge cord of the net. The line is then thrown over the crossbar and pulled down raising the clip and net to the crossbar until the mouth of the clip is facing downward on the top of the crossbar. The line and net are then pulled down simultaneously forcing the mouth of the resilient clip to open, receive, and clamp on the horizontal cross bar. Conversely, when the net is to be removed, the line is thrown over the crossbar in the opposite direction and the line is pulled down until the clip is rotated until the mouth of the clip is facing upward on the crossbar. The line and clip are then pulled down simultaneously forcing the mouth of the resilient clip to open and disengage from the crossbar.
