Free Standard Shipping
Description
The Champ™ Adjustable In-Ground Basketball Hoop by First Team delivers professional-grade performance for residential and light commercial courts. Engineered for long-term performance, the Champ™ features a 4" x 4" one-piece 11-gauge steel post—50% heavier than typical sectional goals—to eliminate wobbling, rusting joints, and structural weakness. This basketball goal also comes in a bolt down surface mount option.
With the Insta-Just™ height adjustment system, players can easily change rim height from 10' down to 7'6" in 6" increments using a simple broom handle—no tools or knobs required. This intuitive mechanism makes it ideal for families and players of all ages.
A variety of acrylic or tempered glass backboards and heavy-duty direct-mounted flex goals are available to create the setup that fits your play style. Each unit provides an 18" base-to-backboard extension distance (with rim at 10'). Two options are available for either directly burying the post or there is an optional bolt down base plate available. For most homeowners, the in-ground model (buried 36") provides maximum rigidity and long-term stability. Black pole padding is included.
Four configuration options are available:
-
Champ III: 36" x 54" Acrylic Backboard
-
Champ Select: 36" x 60" Acrylic Backboard
-
Champ Turbo: 36" x 54" Tempered Glass Backboard
