Stainless Olympian™ Adjustable In-Ground Bolt-Down Basketball Hoop by First Team

Stainless Olympian™ Adjustable In-Ground Bolt-Down Basketball Hoop by First Team

The Stainless Olympian™ Adjustable In-Ground Basketball Hoop by First Team is the pinnacle of basketball goal engineering, designed for players, facilities, and environments that demand absolute strength, precision adjustability, and lifetime durability. Constructed from rust-proof 304 stainless steel, this elite system is built to outperform every other adjustable basketball hoop on the market — in both strength and longevity.

Engineered for commercial courts, high-end residential installations, parks, schools, and training facilities, the Stainless Olympian delivers unmatched rigidity, smooth height adjustment, and professional-level playability in all weather conditions.

Built from Stainless Steel for Ultimate Durability

Unlike standard powder-coated steel basketball systems, the Stainless Olympian is manufactured using 304 stainless steel, making it highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and environmental wear. This makes it an ideal solution for outdoor installations, coastal environments, and high-use public courts.

Oversized Commercial-Grade Post Construction

• Massive 6” x 8” rectangular post

• ¼” thick stainless steel wall for extreme rigidity

• LCG (Low Center of Gravity) pole structure for superior stability

• Bolt-down anchor system allows for long-term portability and relocation

This is one of the most rigid basketball goal structures ever produced, eliminating vibration, sway, and flex — even during aggressive dunking or competitive play.

Infinite Height Adjustment with EZ-Crank & Double Spring-Assist

The EZ-Crank height adjustment system allows the rim to be smoothly adjusted from 10 feet down to 5 feet 6 inches, making the Stainless Olympian perfect for:

• Youth players

• Families

• Training drills

• Regulation competition

Advanced Adjustment System Features

• Dual 2” x 4” stainless steel extension arms

• 11,000 lb capacity crank cylinder

• Double Spring-Assist mechanism reduces effort when raising or lowering the rim

• Adjustment handle positioned under 4 feet from ground level for easy access

• Clear, easy-to-read rim height indicator

• Optional locking device available to prevent unwanted adjustment

This system provides true infinite adjustability, not preset increments, allowing players to fine-tune rim height for any age or skill level.

Professional Backboard & Direct-Rim Mounting

Choose from a 72” clear acrylic or tempered glass backboard, both designed to deliver consistent rebound performance. The Stainless Olympian uses a direct-rim mounting system, meaning the rim is mounted through the backboard directly into the extension arm — not just the glass.

Benefits of Direct-Rim Mounting

• Eliminates stress on the backboard

• Prevents vibration and cracking

• Transfers dunk force directly to the pole

• Extends the life of both rim and backboard

This design is favored in college, professional, and elite training facilities.

Heavy-Duty Flex Rim & Player Safety

The Stainless Olympian includes a heavy-duty flex rim designed to absorb impact from dunks and aggressive play while maintaining regulation performance.

Rim Specifications

• 5/8” solid steel construction

• Flexible breakaway design

• Powder-coated orange finish

• Nylon net included

• Compatible with chain nets

Optional pole padding and backboard padding are available to enhance safety for school and park installations.
