Basketball Goals and Basketball Hoops - What Are the Best Accessories?


Once you make the decision to buy basketball goals and basketball hoops for personal or community use, you may think that the matter is closed. This isn't necessarily the case. Several accessories are available to help you get the most out of your basketball equipment.

If you have decided to buy a basketball goal or basketball hoop with a crank to raise and lower the rim height, you may want to make sure that it stays at the level you have selected. In that case, the FT 12 lock is the solution to the problem. This key operated handle lock can be used on either the 4", 5" or 6" EZ-Crank adjustable goal systems.

A ground anchor kit is available if you buy one of the outdoor basketball goals and basketball hoops offered. In it you will find everything you need to install an EZ-Crank adjustable basketball system, including a template, rebar, hex bolts and J-bolts. A set of instructions has also been included.

Outdoor basketball goals and basketball hoops for outdoor use need to be grounded, and buying a ground sleeve makes the process a lot easier. The sleeves are meant to cement into place and the post fits neatly inside. Eight tension bolts hold the post in place, and the sleeve is buried 36" below the playing surface. The post is then perfectly leveled.

When it's time to practice drills, you will appreciate the fact that you have a ball carrier to keep all of them stored neatly. The casters on all four corners make the unit easy to move into place and back into storage once the game or practice is finished.

What home basketball court would be complete without having lines stenciled in the concrete of your driveway or patio area? Use Basketball Court Stencil Kit FT 20 to paint a free throw line, regulation line and circle on any blacktop or cement surface.

Practice time needs to be used to its best advantage, and you can minimize the time you spend chasing after stray shots and passes by buying the FT 22 Defender Ball Retention Net. This product is designed to promote safety as well as reduce the damage to your neighbors' property and plants. The unit fits on top of all of First Team's pole-mounted basketball goals and basketball hoops. Best of all, you can install it in about 10 minutes and get on with enjoying the sport!

Practicing rebounding skills with the FT 23 Block-Aid. You don't need any tools or ladders to install it; just toss it into place or use a broom handle to lift it up. Made from lightweight urethane, the Block-Aid will help you improve your rebounding skills without damaging the floor or injuring the other people you are playing with.

These accessories for basketball goals and basketball hoops can help you get the most out of these products. When you are thinking about ordering the right basketball goal or hoop for your needs, consider what else you might need to complement it.
