First Team Competitor 42" x 72" Basketball Backboard Package

When you are outfitting your basketball court, it's important that all your equipment is compatible. By ordering a gymnasium basketball upgrade package, you can ensure that your backboard, breakaway rim, and backboard padding are designed to work in tandem with each other.

Each of the basketball upgrade packages you see here can be purchased as a set to ensure that you have the best possible equipment. You'll find that every set includes:

• Backboard

• Rim

• Padding

You can choose the color of your padding to coordinate the right look on any court. Each piece of TuffGuard bolt-on padding that comes in these sets is designed to protect your players from the sharp corners on the bottom of the backboard. This padding prevents cuts and scrapes without interfering with gameplay.

We have competition glass backboards that won't break during gameplay, even when players are dunking aggressively, and our breakaway basketball rims are designed for flexibility, durability, and reliability.
