Banging in pipes when zone shuts off

When my sprinkler system shuts off and only when i have water running inside it bangs. This only happens if i have water running inside and the system shuts off. The main comes out from basement floor and then splits 3 feet up one for house and other to outside sprinkler. Any ideas of how to stop this?
Thanks

Offhand, the simple solution is to only run the sprinklers when there is no other use of the water supply.
