Basketball rim regulation height (in NBA, college, and even high school courts)

is 10 feet. However, you may want to lower the rim to accommodate younger players.

For junior level play or to allow novice players to improve their shooting mechanics,

8′ or 9′ is a common height. Most junior leagues set the rules for rim

height for junior competition.   Lowering the rim is common for

developing shooting technique, and then slowly raising will help challenge

and bring confidence to the new player. Our hoops adjust from 6’

(Goalsetter) or 7 ½’ (Goalrilla) to 10’ with an external or internal crank

adjustment system.

3. Backboards:

Backboard sizes vary in width from 46” wide all the way up to 72”,

but for the sake of regular game play we recommend choosing

backboard no smaller than 54” wide. Anything narrower will limit

the ability to make bank shots. Look for 54″ or 60″ size boards with

3/8″ thick glass and 72″ boards with 1/2″ glass for gym-correct rebounds.  

Remember that skill level also plays a part in selecting a backboard size.

Since high school and college use the standard 72 inch backboards many

people like to purchase this size to closely reproduce actual playing conditions.
