Legacy™ Fixed-Height In-Ground Basketball Hoop by First Team
The Legacy Fixed-Height In-Ground Basketball Hoop by First Team is an excellent choice for homeowners, schools, parks, and recreational facilities looking for a durable, stable, and affordable in-ground basketball system without sacrificing quality or safety. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the Legacy delivers professional-grade construction at a more accessible price point, making it one of the best value fixed-height basketball hoops on the market.
Built around a one-piece 4" x 4" square steel post with 11-gauge wall thickness, the Legacy is approximately 50% heavier than comparable residential basketball goals, providing superior rigidity and long-term durability. Unlike sectional posts that can weaken over time, the Legacy’s single-piece pole eliminates joint deterioration and ensures consistent performance season after season.
Heavy-Duty In-Ground Construction for Maximum Stability
At the core of the Legacy system is a one-piece vertical steel upright, engineered to be buried 36 inches into concrete for a secure and permanent installation. The square post design enhances strength and minimizes vibration during aggressive play, making it ideal for frequent use by players of all ages.
All steel components are welded using maximum-penetration, continuous MIG welding, ensuring structural integrity and long-term reliability in outdoor environments. A watertight vinyl pole cap seals out moisture, helping prevent internal corrosion and extending the lifespan of the system.
Strong, Safe Extension Arm Design
The Legacy extension arm is constructed from 4" x 4" square 11-gauge steel tubing and provides a 36" extension from the post to the face of the backboard. This setback improves player safety by reducing the risk of contact with the pole during drives, rebounds, and layups.
Although classified as a fixed-height basketball hoop, the Legacy offers flexibility during installation. The extension arm attaches to the vertical post using heavy-duty zinc-plated U-bolts, allowing it to be repositioned at different heights along the pole if needed. An integrated H-frame support further reinforces the backboard, enhancing rigidity and minimizing movement during play.
Customizable Backboard and Rim Options
The Legacy Fixed-Height Basketball Goal can be customized with a range of acrylic backboard sizes, allowing you to tailor the system to your space, budget, and style of play. Whether you’re building a backyard court or outfitting a community recreation area, the Legacy provides flexibility without compromising performance.
Each system includes a flexible rim designed to absorb player contact and reduce stress on the backboard and structure. The rim features 5/8" diameter steel construction, comes powder-coated for durability, and includes a nylon net as standard equipment.
Designed for Home Courts, Parks, and Community Use
With its balance of strength, safety, and affordability, the Legacy is well-suited for:
-
Residential driveways and backyard courts
-
Schools and playgrounds
-
Community parks and recreation areas
-
Churches, camps, and youth facilities
Its straightforward fixed-height design minimizes maintenance while still delivering a solid, confidence-inspiring playing experience.
