Product Overview
The First Team Galaxy Express Competition Volleyball System features uprights consisting of an external 3 1/2" outside diameter black carbon fiber tube and a 3" outside diameter 6061-T6 aluminum telescoping inner pole. The bottom of the outer tube is fitted with a non-marking footpad to prevent floor damage. The system's one-meter high net is constructed from black polypropylene 3.5mm knotless woven webbing, using a Kevlar top rope and polypropylene bottom rope, and is finished with white tarpaulin fabric. Net height is infinitely variable from a minimum of 78" to 96" through a single threaded release knob per standard.
Net top tensioning is managed by a 26:1 ratio worm gear winch, designed to wind a 2" wide nylon webbing strap, while the bottom rope is tensioned by a ratcheting style tensioner. For player safety, top and bottom ropes are covered by no less than 1/2" thick foam padding with a white vinyl cover, and each standard is padded to a minimum height of 72" with 1 1/2" thick high-density foam, available in 12 school colors. The entire Galaxy Express system weighs 110 lbs. and includes official boundary antennas. Upright standards carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty, with all other components having a 2-Year Limited Warranty, and the system meets or exceeds all NCAA, USVBA, NFHS, and FIVB requirements for competition.
