Tempest™ 72" Portable Basketball Hoop | First Team
Free Standard Shipping
Description
The Tempest™ 72" portable basketball hoop system by First Team is a competition-grade adjustable basketball goal designed for fieldhouses, gyms, and elite training environments. Its massive extension arm with upper and lower boom supports delivers rock-solid rigidity, while a full 66" base-to-backboard extension provides true game-court spacing. This hoop easily folds down to conserve space or be stored away.
Each system is equipped with top components: the Unbreakable 42" x 72" competition tempered glass backboard, Full-Tilt 180° breakaway rim, and TuffGuard bolt-on backboard padding—the same spec used in high schools and colleges across the country.
Height adjustments from 10' down to 6' are quick and low-maintenance using the extension spring design—just pull the pin on the adjustment rod, raise or lower, and re-pin. One person can roll the unit into place and set up fast. Heavy foam padding on the front, sides, and back of the base (plus an included boom pad) protects players, and the unit’s extreme stability prevents tipping even when players hang on the rim.
