First Team OmniChamp II

The OmniChamp II is significantly more stable than typical portable hoops because it uses a one-piece 4-inch square steel post rather than the standard multi-piece sectional poles. This design reduces the 'wobble' often found in portable systems, providing a feel much closer to a permanent, gym-grade installation.

Yes, the Insta-Just mechanism is designed for one-person operation. You use a standard broom handle to engage the adjustment lever, allowing you to change the height anywhere between 7.5 and 10 feet without needing tools or a ladder.

The base is designed to hold up to 500 lbs of sand. We strongly recommend using sand rather than water, as sand provides significantly more weight and density, which is crucial for keeping a 255-pound system secure during aggressive play.

Assembly is required and will take some time, as this is a heavy-duty system. You will need a few hours and at least one other person to help with lifting the backboard and securing the post, but the instructions are straightforward.

Acrylic is a durable, shatter-resistant material that offers a good rebound, though it is slightly softer than tempered glass. It is an excellent choice for residential play because it balances performance with long-term durability against the elements.
