Your Guide To Indoor Basketball Hoops

No matter what your age is, if you want to be able to play basketball anytime regardless of the weather, an indoor basketball hoop is the best choice. If you're on the lookout for the best indoor basketball hoop, here are some that you can check out.

Wall mount indoor hoops are fixed to the wall, but that doesn't mean that they can't be repositioned when the gym is being used for volleyball or many other sports. If you want the greatest flexibility in your gym, have a look at the FoldaMount46. When you need to make extra room, simply move it to the left or the right against the wall.

The Hurricane system is built for indoor basketball games. It can be installed in any gym or leisure center; it's strong enough that it won't collapse even when players dunk and hang on the rim. This model satisfies the size requirements set by the National High School Federation and the NCAA, with its distance of 96" from the base to the backboard. In addition, the Hurricane has a tempered glass backboard and thick padding on the front and sides to enhance player safety. Most breakaway rims give front to back, but the 180-degree model here gives on the sides as well.

One other good-quality portable indoor basketball hoop is the Fury. This unit is perfect for elementary schools where kids are still developing their basketball skills, as well as for those adults who are joining recreational leagues. The Fury can be placed in any position you like, and the rim height can be adjusted anywhere between 6' 6" and 10' to complement the playing abilities of the participants.

The Rampage is another indoor basketball hoop that is adjustable and suited for elementary or recreational play. It's far less expensive than some of the other models, as it has a smaller backboard and less stability. Thick vinyl padding helps to ensure the safety of the players while playing. The 30" extension is far less than some of the other indoor basketball hoops, but it's sufficient for youth basketball. The rim can also be lowered down to 6'6" if necessary. Plus, it's portable so it can be stored when not in use.

Indoor basketball hoops are available to suit any playing arrangement or budget. For gyms where multiple sports are played and space is limited, a wall mount is a good option. A portable hoop however offers the most flexibility.
