Description

If you’re in the market for a solid hoop with a 54” backboard, the Goalsetter Contender is an excellent choice. This hoop features a 54” x 36” backboard available in your choice of tempered glass or acrylic. The backboard is mounted on an exclusive H-Frame design made of 1-1/2″ structural steel tubing for consistent rebounding.

The Goalsetter Contender has Goalsetter’s signature off-set 4” square post with 7g steel that minimizes shake, and a 2.5ft overhang. The hoop is height-adjustable from 6’-10’ with infinite options in between. Changing the height is quick and easy, with just a simple turn of the height adjustment handle. The Contender’s internal height adjustment mechanism enhances safety by eliminating pinch and grab points.

The Goalsetter Contender hoop is designed with longevity in mind, with corrosion-resistant paint protection consisting of one primer coat and two-part acrylic enamel paint that are oven-cured to ensure superior adhesion. The high-gloss finish is incredibly durable, able to withstand years of tough play and harsh weather conditions.

An in-ground hinge anchor system provides ultimate strength and stability. The post can be unbolted from the anchor, allowing you to take your Contender goal with you when you move to a new home. Simply install a new anchor kit and stand your goal up in its new location.

For an all-around solid hoop that’s perfect for the whole family, the Goalsetter Contender in-ground basketball goal is an excellent choice. This hoop is proudly made in the USA and is also backed by Goalsetter’s limited lifetime warranty for added peace of mind.

When it’s time to move, your Goalsetter basketball hoop moves with you by simply purchasing a replacement ground anchor.

Every Goalsetter basketball goal is made in the USA with superior quality and workmanship. Your Goalsetter basketball hoop will provide many years of fun, exercise and memories for the entire family.
