Balls could still be rebounded when they hit the top of you. The loose netting would cut back on their bounce as well as give you a larger collection area up top (with no top, the balls could go through you on the rebound just as they could on the original shot). Just make sure you don't cause a ball jam up there.

We have accounted for this. We are going to run a bar across the top portion and hang a clear plastic shower curtain from it. The idea is that the ball will get trapped in the shower curtain and fall into our hopper. We want to keep the top open for catching rebounds. The curtain will also stop rebounds from bouncing out of our bot. I will post more pics tomorrow after we have installed the curtain.
