First Team Sport Fixed Height In-Ground Basketball Goal
The Sport Fixed Height Basketball Goals offers a professional look at an affordable price!
The Sport Basketball Goal's 4"x4" 11 ga. steel post is 50% heavier than any goal of its kind. Our one-piece post design eliminates the potential for joint deterioration common with sectional type posts.
The extension arm on the Sport is attached to the vertical post using two heavy-duty U-bolts. Though the Sport is considered a "Fixed Height" goal, the U-bolts can be loosened allowing the arm to be re-attached at any given height along with the post.
A variety of basketball backboards and rims are offered with the Sport Basketball Goal so you can choose the Sport package that's right for you.
For additional safety, pole padding and backboard padding can be added to any Sport package.
Every Sport Fixed Height Basketball Goal package comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
