Basketball Hoops For Sale

As we have discussed, the rim of a standard basketball hoop is 10 feet (3.05 meters) high from the ground. However, for younger players, lower rim heights are often used:

• Youth leagues (ages 8-10): 8 feet
• Younger children (ages 6-7): 6-7 feet

Adjustable basketball hoops are also available, allowing players of different skill levels to practice at various heights.

Superior Play Systems® is ready to help you with your wall-mount basketball hoop installation. Installing it yourself can save money in the short term, but hiring a basketball hoop installation company helps ensure player safety and product longevity.
If you’re purchasing and installing your own hoop, here’s what you need to know.

With proper in-ground basketball hoop installation, your family and friends can enjoy years of safe play whether they’re dunking on the rim or learning how to take foul shots.

Our tips for proper installation include:

• Using the right equipment to dig the footing. The first thing you’ll need to do is dig the hole for the concrete footing. Although a shovel can work, the depth and width required mean you can get the job done faster with a post hole digger, an auger or a small tractor with a backhoe attachment.
• Mixing the concrete properly. A uniform mixture of concrete is necessary for a stable ground anchor. Limiting mixing to one bag at a time avoids problems and helps ensure a uniform mix.
• Making use of your level. Don’t go through the trouble of building the footing only to find that it’s not level or properly aligned to the playing surface. Once the footing is poured, you’ll want to make sure the mounting plate is level. You’ll also need to ensure it’s square to your driveway or another hard surface.
• Letting the concrete set for several days. Concrete may appear to harden quickly, but it takes several days for it to set firmly. Depending on the depth and width of your footing, this can take four or five days. Do not install your hoop into the footing until the concrete is set, or you risk damaging the integrity of the concrete. You could also find that your hoop lists to one side. These conditions are extremely unsafe for players, so stay patient.
• Asking for help. Now that your footing is poured and ready for hoop installation, ask two or three friends for help. That’s because the post and backboard are heavy and bulky. You’ll also need at least two people to hold the post and backboard upright and in place while you ensure the post is level and square. Although one or two people can build a basketball hoop footing, installing the post, hoop and backboard requires multiple people. And while sawhorses offer limited help, there’s no substitute for strong hands holding every part in place while you perform essential safety checks prior to tightening and leveling.

If you’re unsure about how to install an in-ground basketball hoop or lack the resources to do it yourself, call Superior Play Systems®. We can take care of your installation needs and ensure your new in-ground hoop is perfectly installed and safe to play on. Don’t leave player safety to chance if you’ve never tackled installation before. Call us instead.

Wall-mounted basketball goals don’t require a concrete footing, but there are still several things to consider when deciding where and how to install your hoop.

Best practices for installing your own wall-mounted adjustable hoop include:

• Choose the right location. For the safest play, you’ll want to find a wide, flat area with smooth pavement. You’ll also need a strong, secure wall for the hoop and adequate clearance for the net. Avoid any spot where the net could get caught in a garage door. You’ll also want to ensure that the wall you’re attaching the hoop to is flat, with no rotting or cracking.
• Consider regulation sizing. You don’t need to create a regulation court, but measurements such as height to the rim and backboard dimensions make playing conditions more realistic.
• Ask for help. Just like with in-ground installation, you’ll need help with your wall-mounted installation. The backboard is heavy and you’ll want one or two strong friends to hold it in place as you measure, level and secure the board.

You can test your installation by bouncing a ball off the backboard. If it returns to you, then you installed it correctly. If it bounces off at a strange angle, you’ll need to re-install.

Superior Play Systems® is your source for PROformance Hoops®basketball hoops. These in-ground and wall-mount basketball hoops offer many benefits, including:

• Specialized manufacturing. PROformance Hoops®focuses only on basketball goals and has more than two decades of experience in this one sector. This allows them to excel in creating professional-grade hoops that can take your game to the next level.
• Dual Spring Break-Away Rim. Two powder coated stainless steel high-tension springs offer an extra layer of safety when you play. When you make a slam dunk or put any other pressure on the rim, the rim rebounds into position, keeping players safer. The rim is protected with a cover and is corrosion-resistant to ensure it can handle all the wins you throw at it.
• Quality materials. PROformance Hoops® goals are made from strong steel and have a multi-step anticorrosive coating to protect your investment. The hardware is made from stainless steel that can stand up to any weather. The hardware features a self-repair Chromium Oxide film, ensuring your basketball system stays stable and reliable. Our hardware materials are long-lasting, recyclable and eco-friendly.
• Tempered glass backboards. Tempered Safety Glass is much stronger than traditional glass because it goes through high heating and fast cooling, making it harder to shatter. PROformance basketball goals are made with this glass, which is surrounded by a Full Perimeter Aluminum Trim for added security. Our safety glass backboards are the same kind used in the NBA and NCAA because of the safety standard and the reliable rebound these backboards provide over the entire surface. Since they are made of glass, they also keep you in the game by allowing you to see exactly where the ball is heading.
• Reliable gusset support base plates. Each of our hoops has thick steel plates at the base to ensure your basketball hoop pole can stand up to any play. There are slotted holes on the plate to allow you to install the basketball goal on any terrain. This minimizes vibration and shakes so you can focus on the game. A powder coat and zinc-plated finish ensure your basketball pole lasts for years, no matter how many games you play.
• Adjustability. Your basketball goal is more customizable with the Power Arc 90® Lift Assist. This dual cylinder system allows you to easily adjust your rim from 10 feet to six feet and back, all without having to climb up on a ladder. In the industry, this is the easiest-to-use and most accurate adjustment system, designed with ball bearings, a gearbox and a tension screw system to ensure high-caliber performance. Low resistance and a 90-degree removable crank handle mean you can make needed changes without fuss or much effort.
• Small details that make all the difference. The UV coating on the nets helps keep them looking better longer. Special padding on the posts helps avoid run-ins. Our steel poles are also up to 200% thicker than many other basketball goals on the market. If you look closely, you will see our poles are seven-gauge or 11-gauge steel with welded gussets and slotted holes, improving performance. Our nets are Hide-Away Nets, meaning there are no hooks or protrusions where the net hangs from the rim. You can replace the net quickly while also reducing the risk of injury during play. These and other small details ensure you experience the best basketball game and drills with more safety and superior performance.

The right basketball hoop for you will depend on a number of factors, including:

• How much space you have. If you have limited space outdoors or if your home is located on terrain where an outdoor basketball goal is not realistic, an indoor basketball hoop may be right for you. If you have space and wish to have a permanent setup that allows you plenty of room to move, outdoor hoops may be the right choice.
• Your climate. Depending on where you live, your basketball hoop may be exposed to rain, sun, snow and other conditions. Consider how much time you can spend playing outside and whether an indoor hoop might make more sense. If you decide on an outdoor hoop, be sure it is durable enough to withstand all conditions. PROformance Hoops® are specially created to last and last, even in the face of harsh elements.
• How you will use your hoop. Will your hoop be used by athletes or people who are interested in aggressive play? Do you need a hoop to grow with you? Even if you are not a professional, consider a professional grade basketball goal for your own safety. These types of basketball hoops are tough enough to take any sort of game and still keep you safer by reducing the risk of breaks and shattering.

The cost of a basketball hoop varies based on factors like size, material, installation type, and additional features such as adjustable height mechanisms. Whether you’re looking for a wall-mounted system, or in-ground hoop, there are choices available to suit different needs and playing environments.
