Introductory-level, breakaway goal is ideal for teaching students basketball fundamentals on side courts. The single-rim, 5/8" dia steel ring offers a great degree of playability and responds well to fast-paced, high-level play. Powder-coated design and steel wing braces increase the goal's durability. Because it forgoes a positive lock mechanism and heat-treated ball and socket components, it's able to retain a lower outright cost while still delivering on the court.

Includes a continuous, no-tie net and mounting hardware. A back plate with a 4"W x 4"H hole pattern allow for nearly universal compatibility with backboards. Meets NCAA, NFHS, and NAIA specifications.

Specifications

  • Single rim with 5/8" dia steel
