The Tempest competition style portable basketball goal is designed for use in a fieldhouse, gymnasium or anywhere upper end, aggressive basketball is played.
The Tempest's massive extension arm features an upper and lower boom support. The extension distance from base to backboard is 66". The unit comes equipped with First Team's top of the line FT235 Unbreakable 42"x72" competition tempered glass backboard, FT196 Full-Tilt 180 degree breakaway goal and FT72C TuffGuard bolt-on backboard padding. These are the same components used in high schools and colleges throughout the country.
The Tempest portable basketball unit is also height adjustable. Rim height adjustments from 10' down to 6' are made easily and quickly with its low maintenance extension spring design. To adjust the Tempest portable basketball goal, simply pull the pin located on the adjustment rod, raise or lower the unit as needed and replace the pin. One person can easily roll the unit into place and set up quickly.
Heavy foam padding, available in an array of colors, protects players on the front, sides and back of the base unit. A boom extension pad is also included. The unit is extremely stable as well as durable and will not tip over when players hang on the rim. Though rear hold downs are not necessary, they are available upon request.
