First Team Legend Jr. Basketball Goal

No, the Legend Jr. BP is a fixed-height system. It is designed for permanent installation at the standard 10-foot regulation height, which provides superior stability and rigidity compared to adjustable models.

Direct-mounting attaches the backboard directly to the extension arm rather than using a perimeter frame. This design significantly reduces vibration and prevents the backboard from shattering during aggressive play, making it ideal for high-intensity use.

The 52-inch extension arm creates a significant distance between the post and the backboard, which is great for safety and playability. You will need to ensure your installation site has enough clearance behind the post to accommodate this depth, especially if you are placing it near a driveway edge or landscaping.

While the system is designed for permanent in-ground installation, it is a heavy-duty unit that requires significant labor, including digging a deep hole and pouring concrete. We recommend having at least two to three people assist with the assembly and installation process for safety.

Yes, the system is built for outdoor use and is weather-resistant. However, because it is made of steel, we recommend inspecting the post periodically for any chips in the powder coating and touching them up to prevent long-term corrosion.

If you plan on having younger players or aggressive dunkers using the hoop, the bolt-on all-weather padding is a smart safety addition. It helps protect players from impact with the bottom edge of the backboard during play.
