Choosing a Basketball Hoop – BasketballHoop.com

WHICH WALL-MOUNTED HOOP IS BEST FOR YOU?

Goalsetter Wall-Mounted Hoops are the best choice for limited space, where a ground pole might not be an option.  You may also choose a Wall-Mount for an indoor structure to add an activity to your home or business all year round.  Consider the size of the area you have available and the age of the players expected to use the system in order to get the best fit.

Choose a Goalsetter Wall-Mounted Hoop from the options below for the highest quality hoop for you.

72” x 42”  72” boards are our most popular for inside wall mount installations.   The 72” board is an excellent choice for competitive play and former high school or college athletes.

  • The official, regulation size used in high school, college, and NBA competition.
  • The best option for a large backyard court or a 3-car garage driveway.
  • Approved for residential, commercial, and institutional installations.

60” x 38” -  The 60” board system is the best choice for recreational players of all age and skill level.  It is the best of both worlds, with the durability for the competitive player and the slightly smaller size that will help even the youngest of players.

  • Backboard response and play identical to the 72” equivalent.
  • Perfect for a 2-car garage driveway or smaller backyard court.
  • Approved for residential, commercial, and institutional installations.

54” x 36” - The 54” wall mount is best for young children and casual play.   This will be great for the family for long hours of fun. We recommend upgrading to larger system as the family grows and skills develop.

  • Same great backboard ball response and durability as its larger systems,, the 60” and 72”.
  • Prime choice for a 1-car driveway or small court
  • Approved for residential, commercial, and institutional installations.

48” x 32” - The 42” wall mount system provides unlimited quality time for your family, at a lower cost than any other competitive goal system.

  • Consistent ball response and durability, just like the 54”, 60” and 72”.
  • Limited to a 1-car driveway or small court
  • Approved for residential installations only.

WHICH IN-GROUND HOOP IS BEST FOR YOU?

There are 2 main things to consider:

  1. How much space do you have?
  2. Who will be using the court?

SPACE:

Do you have a driveway with 1, 2 or 3 car garage?  Do you have a dedicated court for practice and play?  The play area will directly determine which system will work best for you.

The larger the play area, the larger system you can choose.

You can use our guide below to decide if the 72”, 60” 54”, or 48” hoop is right for you.
    • Large, 3-car driveway or court – We recommend a  72” or 60” width backboard.
    • Smaller, 2-car driveway or court – We prefer a 60” or 54” width backboard.
    • 1-car driveway or small court – The 54” or 48” width backboard should be your best fit.

WHO?:

Contact us to discuss your requirements of Basketball Goal Supplier. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

The skill level of the players using the basketball hoop will determine the size of backboard you need for your court. All of our boards will have “Competition-Grade” ball response, so you know even our smaller boards will help train you to be the best!  

We have two board surfaces - Tempered Glass & Acrylic.
We typically recommend tempered glass backboards for residential courts and acrylic for institutional or commercial installations.

72” - The 72” backboard will give you the “real feel” of competitive play.  We recommend this for high level athletes or anyone training to get to the next level.  The 72” is the size used in high school, college and professional courts. 60” - The 60” is the most common size for a home court installation.  This will hold up for competitive players, as well as recreational players or families looking to add to their outdoor activities.  54” - We recommend the 54” board for young players just getting started in their basketball training.  As their skill improves, this board can be replaced with a larger target. 48” - We usually advise to get the 48” hoop to get the best quality in a small space.  The board will be great for time with family or friends, while still enjoying the elements of the larger boards.

WHY GOALSETTER?

Adjustable Outdoor Basketball Hoops for Basketball Court - Goalrilla

DIFFERENT TYPES OF BASKETBALL HOOPS

Whether you’re looking for a way to get the whole family outside together or a vital training tool for your rising basketball star, investing in a basketball hoop will provide fun for years to come. Before buying a basketball hoop, it’s important to decide what type of hoop would best suit your family’s needs. We have three brands and four types of basketball goals to choose from – in-ground, portable, wall-mounted, and kids' youth hoops.

ADJUSTABLE BASKETBALL HOOPS

Every Goalrilla basketball hoop can easily be adjusted in height from 7.5’ to 10’ with the included actuator. Children as young as 6 years old can adjust the easy-to-crank actuator so they can bring the goal down to a height that’s appropriate for them or raise the height as they grow alongside the basketball goal. Adjustable basketball hoops are great for children learning to play the game.

IN-GROUND BASKETBALL HOOPS

Goalrilla’s in-ground basketball goals feature in-ground anchor systems cured in concrete with the option to unbolt and move the goal. In-ground basketball goals offer the most advanced performance of any residential goal, closely replicating the performance of NCAA and NBA hoops. Most in-ground goals feature tempered glass backboards which offer the most authentic rebound available while the rigid steel pole mounted in concrete offers incredible stability for the entire unit.

The in-ground, concrete installation process makes the hoop much more stable, eliminating the risk of tipping over, especially during a dunk. If you anticipate adults or children dunking on your goal, be sure to select an in-ground goal that will support the force and keep your players safe. Additionally, in-ground hoops take up less ground space, reducing the trip hazard of a portable’s molded base.

PORTABLE BASKETBALL GOALS

Silverback's portable basketball goals offer increased stability for better rebound and playability, easier portability, and easy assembly. The Silverback NXT portable basketball goals offer great benefits over traditional portable basketball hoops such as a steel base and premium backboard.

Many portable hoops have complicated assemblies that can take anywhere from 3-6 hours to complete. However, the NXT basketball goals only take 90 minutes to assemble with easy-to-use instructions and many pre-assembled parts. Our instructions include detailed diagrams and correspond to clearly labeled parts and hardware, so you can start playing in no time.

WALL-MOUNTED BASKETBALL GOALS

Both Goaliath and Silverback offer wall-mounted basketball goals perfect for saving space in your driveway. Sometimes your driveway space doesn’t allow for a basketball pole installation and the overhang required to safely play.

The Goaliath and Silverback wall-mounted basketball goals install the hoop to a garage, barn, school or camp building, gym, and more. You can install them to any wall indoors or outdoors and the hoops deliver the same quality performance as an in-ground basketball goal does. Our wall-mounted basketball hoops are height adjustable and feature the pro-style breakaway rim to protect the backboard and to prevent player injuries. Additionally, our wall-mounted basketball goals come partially preassembled with attached hardware so you can assemble your hoop in 120 minutes or less!
