First Team Tyrant Fixed Height Basketball Hoop

The Most Indestructible Playground Basketball System Available

When durability is non-negotiable, the First Team Tyrant Fixed Height Basketball Hoop stands alone. Engineered specifically for high-abuse playgrounds, parks, and school courts, the Tyrant is the largest, most rigid fixed-height basketball system First Team has ever built—and one of the toughest systems in the country.

Built for Extreme Playground Abuse

Massive Galvanized Steel Post

At the core of the Tyrant is a 6 5/8" outside diameter Schedule 40 galvanized steel post, designed to withstand years of relentless outdoor exposure and aggressive play. This post size and wall thickness deliver unmatched rigidity, even in the harshest environments.

The post is buried 48" below the playing surface, creating an exceptionally stable foundation that resists movement, flex, and vibration.

Maximum Safety with Industry-Leading Overhang

72” Post-to-Backboard Extension

With a 72” post-to-backboard extension, the Tyrant places the pole well behind the play area, significantly reducing collision risk during drives, rebounds, and fast-paced gameplay.

This extended spacing makes it ideal for:

• Public playgrounds

• School yards

• Parks and recreation courts

• High-traffic outdoor courts

Indestructible Nose-Cone Mounting System

Permanent Through-Bolt Locking Design

The Tyrant features First Team’s nose-cone backboard mounting system, which:

• Permanently locks the nose cone to the post using a through-bolt

• Minimizes lifting and strain during backboard installation

• Increases overall structural rigidity

This design not only simplifies installation but also enhances long-term durability under constant use.

Extensive Backboard Options for Any Court

Steel, Aluminum, Fiberglass, or Acrylic

The Tyrant offers one of the widest backboard selections available, including:

• Steel backboards for maximum abuse resistance

• Aluminum backboards for lightweight durability

• Fiberglass backboards for weather resilience

• Clear acrylic backboards for improved rebound performance

Backboard sizes range from 36" x 54" up to regulation 42" x 72", allowing the system to be tailored to any playground or facility requirement.

Direct-Mounted Rim for Long-Term Reliability

All First Team Tyrant systems use a direct-mounted rim design, eliminating backboard stress and preventing breakage caused by rim hangs and aggressive dunking.

Optional Safety Padding & Customization

• Optional all-weather pole padding for added player protection

• Optional backboard padding for enhanced safety
