Choosing the Right Basketball Hoop

What to Consider

Safety

Although fun is the reason you are looking for an in-ground basketball hoop, SAFETY is the #1 priority. Choosing a basketball system that has been professionally engineered and rigorously tested gives peace of mind knowing your kids are safe and having safe fun. Basketball hoop features like a breakaway rim, steel pole, and tempered glass backboards are key features to look for in a basketball system. Learn more >

Space

When choosing the right hoop for your family it is important to factor in the size driveway or surface you’ll be playing on. Do you have a one-car driveway that our 54”x36” backboard would work best in? Or do you have a three-car driveway or court that has enough room for our 72”x42” backboard? Choosing a hoop that fits your space goes a long way in helping you choose the right basketball hoop for your family.

Material Quality

Not all hoop brands are built the same. When you consider buying a basketball hoop, choose a basketball hoop that is known for using the best quality materials and withstands aggressive play.

Age and Skill Level of Players

When choosing your hoop, consider the ages and skill level of the players. Smaller backboard sizes are best for beginners, while larger regulation size backboards are great for experienced players who are looking to take their skills to the next level.
