First Team HydroSport Select Basketball System

While no outdoor equipment is completely immune to the elements, this system is built with a stainless steel post and a durable black powder-coat finish specifically designed to resist rust and corrosion from pool water and sun exposure.

The system uses a U-bolt mechanism that allows you to manually adjust the height of the backboard. While it is not designed for frequent, on-the-fly adjustments like a residential driveway hoop, it offers the flexibility to set the rim at different heights to accommodate various age groups.

This system requires a permanent installation. You will need to bolt the anchor base directly into your pool deck, which typically involves drilling into concrete and using the appropriate anchoring hardware to ensure the post remains stable during aggressive play.

Yes, the 54-inch acrylic backboard is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. It provides a professional, glass-like look while offering better impact resistance than glass, making it a safer and more practical choice for a poolside setting.

The system features a Heavy Duty Flex Goal. This means the rim is designed with a spring-action mechanism that allows it to flex slightly under pressure, which helps protect both the backboard and the player during dunking or intense play.

The system has a 24-inch backboard offset, meaning the board hangs 2 feet out from the post. You should ensure you have enough clearance on your pool deck to accommodate the post footprint and the overhang without obstructing walking paths or pool entry points.
