First Team Brute™ Fixed Height Basketball Goal
The First Team Brute is a fixed-height in-ground basketball system for outdoor courts. We recommend comparing it with Renegade, Ruffneck, and Tyrant when choosing equipment for a church or facility, taking budget and play beneath the basket into account. The package determines the board material, size, and rim. Review the reach and installation specifications alongside those components, and plan the foundation and court position before ordering.
5 9/16-inch galvanized steel post: The Schedule 40 post is designed for a fixed-height outdoor installation with a 48-inch burial depth. Follow the manufacturer’s foundation and assembly instructions.
Choose the backboard for your court: Brute packages offer steel, aluminum, fiberglass or clear acrylic boards. Material, board size and rim vary by package; compare the model details below before ordering.
Fixed 10-foot playing height: Choose this system if you want your rim to stay at 10 feet. It does not lower for younger-player programs.
Lifetime Unconditional Warranty: First Team lists this warranty for Brute packages, subject to its published conditions. See Warranty Coverage below for the terms and exclusions.
The First Team Brute Series uses a 5 9/16-inch O.D. Schedule 40 galvanized steel post. The extension creates space between the post and backboard for play beneath the basket. Plan the post position, court boundaries and padding using the selected package’s installation drawings; reach alone does not prevent player contact with the support.
Fixed Height Specification: Set permanently at a 10' rim height.
Post-to-backboard reach: First Team lists a 72-inch setback, with the telescoping attachment allowing extension up to 78 inches. Confirm the selected package’s drawing and installation requirements before laying out the court.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built specifically to withstand rough institutional use, extreme weather conditions, and aggressive play.
Lifetime Unconditional Warranty. First Team's Unconditional Warranty covers damage or failure for any reason, subject to the manufacturer's warranty terms.
Normal wear from weathering or UV exposure is excluded. Painted items have a one-year limited coating warranty. First Team also states that pay-to-play amusement facilities require a written agreement for coverage beyond obvious manufacturing defects.
Warranty applies to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. See First Team's warranty terms for complete coverage, exclusions and conditions.
