Indoor Basketball Hoops and Goals - A Buying Guide

indoor basketball hoops“>Indoor basketball hoops and goals provide children and adults alike a place to play, practice skills, and compete. There are many different types of indoor hoops. The right choice is based on who is playing and what type of play will take place. Before investing your money in any basketball equipment, be familiar with who you are buying from. Having been burnt before, I am very careful. I recommend www.TopHoops.com, or a site with similar features like top of the line warranties, a proven track record for customer satisfaction, and a wide variety of quality indoor hoops and goals made by industry leaders.

So how do you decide? For high school and adult play only, you can consider a NCAA regulation hoop and goal. NCAA regulation specifics include a rim that is 18″ in diameter and 10′ high, and a backboard that is 72” x 42” and made of tempered glass. The rim for this type of indoor hoop should be a competition style breakaway goal. This combination is the ultimate combination and is ideal for consistent, intense play.

If your players will be a little bit younger than high school age, you may want to consider some different type of equipment. An acrylic backboard is great for this age since it gives the look and feel of glass but is more economical. The backboard size should still be 42” x 72” so they can play with full rebound space.

If you are purchasing an indoor hoop that will be used by elementary age kids, an adjustable height hoop is vital. Most adjustable hoops can be moved from 6’ to 10’ in 1/2” increments. This gives the smallest and tallest kids an opportunity to play at their height. As skills increase, the hoop can be adjusted to meet the new level. All of these types of indoor hoops also come in models that fold away for convenience.

Does anyone know where I might find some indoor or outdoor basketball courts in Fort Worth? Preferably near East Fort Worth (before Arlington). I’ve only lived here for about a year, but I’ve had a yearning to shoot some hoops and have tried looking everywhere within a reasonable distance for a public courtyard. Nothing so far.

Breaking in a New Basketball?

does anyone know how to break in a new basketball? it’s a composite leather indoor/outdoor ball. it sounds like plastic when i dribble now… but it’s a Spaulding (they don’t make em like they used to..) - so i want to know if there is a way to break in the balls surface kinda like the way you break in a baseball mit. don’t just tell me “go outside and dribble…” or i’ll dunk on you. thanks hoop fans!
I just got a new spalding neverflat. It sounds like a tennis ball when i bounce it. its supposedly indoor/outdoor. however dirt from outdoor courts gets on it, and it gets slipperly. its tempting to use another ball when i’m with other people, but i try to keep using it and break it in. I hate to say it, but there isnt really a way to break it like a baseball mitt. You really are just going to have to dribble. I think dribbling on concrete will be the best to break it in. If you are mostly going to use it outside, you should keep it outside and that will defintily break it in.

Portable basketball hoops - Can someone help me find help find public indoor basketball courts in the sacramento area?

Any ideas on how to find open gyms at high schools or rec centers or anywhere indoors where me and some friends can shoot hoops on rainy days???
This is the best I can do… Try Sierra 2 Park or Land Park… Good luck. Did you mention ‘public’? I suppose you want to pay as little as possible. So hope the list will do.
