Jaypro Gooseneck Basketball System - 72 in. Acrylic Backboard & Double Rim Goal
Description
The Jaypro 656-AC-DR Gooseneck Basketball System is a heavy-duty outdoor hoop engineered for parks, playgrounds, and schoolyards that demand lasting performance. Built around a 5-9/16 in. Schedule 40 steel gooseneck pole, this system delivers the structural rigidity needed to support a full 72 x 42 in. rectangular acrylic backboard with confidence. The 6 ft. offset positions the backboard a full 71 inches from the pole, creating a designated "Play Safe" buffer zone that protects players from contact with the upright. A double rim goal adds extra durability for high-traffic recreational environments where rough play is the norm. The in-ground mount buries 48 in. below grade for maximum stability, even under intense use or adverse weather. Two 1-5/16 in. diameter steel braces reinforce the rectangular backboard, keeping everything tight and true over years of play. This system arrives in a galvanized finish and can be upgraded with powder coat color options, making it a smart long-term investment for any outdoor facility.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Is this basketball system suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
Yes - this system is designed specifically for permanent outdoor use. The in-ground mount buries 48 in. below grade, providing a stable, anchored foundation built to withstand years of heavy recreational use and outdoor weather conditions.
What does the "Play Safe" offset mean?
The "Play Safe" offset refers to the 71 in. distance between the pole and the backboard created by the gooseneck arm design. This spacing keeps players from coming into direct contact with the support pole during play, significantly reducing the risk of injury on outdoor courts.
Why does this system use a double rim goal?
Double rim goals are specifically designed for high-traffic outdoor environments like parks and playgrounds. The extra rim adds structural reinforcement, making the goal more resistant to dunking, repeated impact, and general wear compared to a standard single rim - extending the life of the goal in demanding settings.
Does this system require professional installation?
Yes, professional installation is strongly recommended. The in-ground mount requires excavation to a depth of 48 in., and proper concrete setting is essential for safety and long-term performance. Jaypro provides installation documentation to guide the process - see the assembly instructions linked on this page.
Can I customize the pole color?
The standard finish is galvanized steel. However, powder coat color options are available - contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com before placing your order to discuss available color choices.
What warranty is included with this system?
Jaypro covers the post, board, and goal with a 3-year limited warranty, and the net with a 1-year limited warranty. This reflects Jaypro's confidence in the durability of their commercial-grade outdoor systems.
