First Team Legend Fixed Height Basketball Hoop

Maximum Rigidity. Maximum Safety. Built for the Toughest Courts.

The First Team Legend Fixed Height Basketball Hoop is engineered for extreme durability, long-term safety, and rock-solid performance on playgrounds, parks, schools, and serious home courts. Built from massive structural steel and designed to withstand years of aggressive play, the Legend lives up to its name as one of the most rugged fixed-height basketball systems available.

Built for Environments That Demand Strength

Massive One-Piece Steel Construction

At the core of the Legend is a 6" x 6" one-piece steel post with a 3/16" wall thickness, delivering exceptional rigidity and resistance to flex under heavy use. This design makes the Legend ideal for:

• Public playgrounds

• School courts

• Parks and recreation facilities

• High-traffic home courts

The post is buried 48" below the playing surface, creating an extremely stable foundation. An optional FT18 ground sleeve is available if post removability is required.

Fixed Height Design with Flexible Installation Options

Adjustable Arm Mounting

While classified as a fixed-height basketball hoop, the Legend offers flexibility during installation. The extension arm can be bolted at any height along the post, allowing you to set the rim height that best fits your application.

The extension arm itself is built from 6" x 6" solid steel tubing and secured using six 5/8" high-tensile bolts, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Enhanced Player Safety with Professional Spacing

66” Post-to-Backboard Extension

With a 66” post-to-backboard distance, the Legend keeps the pole well behind the play area, significantly reducing collision risk during aggressive drives and rebounding.

This spacing makes the Legend especially well-suited for competitive environments where safety is a priority.

Backboard and Rim Options to Match Your Court

Extensive Backboard Selection

First Team offers a wide range of acrylic and tempered glass backboards for the Legend. The Response™ tempered glass backboard delivers authentic rebound performance identical to what players experience at the collegiate and professional levels.

Direct-Mounted Rim Design

All Legend systems feature direct-mounted rims, reducing stress on the backboard and eliminating breakage caused by rim hang and aggressive play.

Expandable Play with Dual Court Options

Legend Dual Packages

For maximum court utilization, Legend Dual systems add a second extension arm, backboard, and rim to the opposite side of the post—perfect for playgrounds and shared-use spaces where multiple games run simultaneously.

• Optional TuffGuard all-weather bolt-on backboard padding (multiple colors available)

• Optional Velcro wrap-around post padding for added player protection
