Vector™ In Ground Adjustable Basketball Goal
The Vector Adjustable Basketball Goal provides the easiest and most economical way to get infinite height adjustment and great performance in one affordable package.
First Team’s Vector basketball system includes our heavy 11 ga. 4″x 4″ post design that eliminates the risk of joint deterioration common with sectional type posts.
The Vector’s unique front-mount EZ Crank is a great choice, especially when a wall or other obstruction makes installing a rear-mount crank style impossible. First Team is the ONLY manufacturer to offer a front-mount EZ Crank with SPRING-ASSIST. Our spring-aided crank design is the easiest to operate in the industry and allows the rim height to quickly be adjusted anywhere from 10′ down to 7′. The crank handle is removable to prevent unwanted adjustment. The clear and precise rim height indicator shows the rim height at all times.
All Vector Adjustable Basketball Hoop packages include a breakaway goal and net. A variety of acrylic backboards are available ranging from 36″x48″ to 36″x60″. Choose the package that’s right for your home court.
For additional safety, pole padding and backboard padding can be added to any Vector Hoop package.
Each Vector Adjustable Basketball Goal system comes with a Lifetime Superior Warranty.
