First Team Force In-Ground Adjustable Basketball Hoop

The Force Adjustable Basketball Goal offers infinite adjustability, exceptional rigidity and maximum durability for those serious about basketball!

The Force Goal's tough 5" square, 3 / 16" thick vertical post and dual-strut extension arm make this system a real powerhouse. The bolt down anchor system allows you to take the goal with you when you move.

First Team EZ-Crank adjustment means players of any age, size or ability can change the rim height. To adjust, simply turn the crank handle. The Force Adjustable Basketball Hoop is infinitely adjustable from 10' down to 5'6". The rim height indicator shows the height of the rim.

The unit features First Team "Spring-Assist" which reduces the effort required to crank the goal. This is particularly beneficial for families with young children adjusting the unit.

First Team’s Weatherguard uses a process called Ecoat on the steel prior to painting.  Weatherguard gives First Team basketball goals an impenetrable barrier against rain and humidity protecting the steel against rust.  First Team Weatherguard treatment is vastly superior to other companies that claim to offer rust protection in the form of galvanization.  Weatherguard bonds to paint far better than galvanized steel with no fading or peeling.

First Team offers a large selection of backboards and rims with the Force Basketball Hoops. Choose a Force Adjustable Basketball Goal package with one of First Team Response tempered glass backboards if you are wanting authentic gymnasium style ball reaction off the board.

For additional safety, pole padding and backboard padding are available for most Force Basketball Hoop packages.

Under no circumstances shall any basketball product carrying a strictly residential warranty be covered for non-residential use.
