Portable & Recreational Post Sets

Jaypro Volleyball Upright Systems: FeatherLite, PowerLite, and Carbon Ultralite

Jaypro makes up the bulk of this collection, and its volleyball uprights come in several construction tiers to match your budget and usage level. FeatherLite uprights use pin-stop height adjustment and a lighter build, PowerLite volleyball uprights step up to a heavier-duty profile for programs running multiple matches a week, and Carbon Ultralite uprights use a carbon-fiber-reinforced pole for the lightest handling of the three. Buyers searching for jaypro powerlite volleyball uprights will find them in both 3 in. and 3-1/2 in. floor sleeve versions, alongside the T-Base Competition system and Hybrid Steel uprights. All of these lines are built to NFHS, NCAA, and USVBA specifications, so they're appropriate for school gyms, club facilities, and rec centers that need certified equipment rather than backyard-grade posts.

Multi-Sport Net Systems and Portable Game Standards

If your facility needs one post system to cover more than volleyball, Jaypro's Multi-Sport Net Systems mount on the same floor sleeves (2 in. Canadian, 3 in., or 3-1/2 in.) and are available with custom graphics for team or facility branding. For gyms that need to move standards on and off the floor without permanent sleeves, Jaypro's Game Standards and AS-475 Multi-Purpose Game Standards ship with weighted bases in 75 lbs., 145 lbs., and 220 lbs. options — heavier bases hold better under net tension for daily use, while lighter bases suit occasional or single-sport setups. The GymGlide Recreational Game Package bundles portable equipment for programs that need quick setup and breakdown between activities.

Recreational and Backyard Post Sets

For outdoor and backyard use, Douglas' VBS-3, VBS-3.5, and VBS-4 SQ Outdoor Power Volleyball Systems give you a complete outdoor-rated upright setup in three pole-diameter sizes. Bownet's lineup covers lighter recreational needs: the Youth Volleyball Net and Volleyball Warm Up Net suit driveway or practice-yard play, while the 12' and 18' Field Barrier / Soccer Tennis / Tennis Net and Court systems double as a net or barrier depending on the game. Jaypro's portable Tetherball Pole (2 in., indoor/outdoor) and Recreational Outdoor Volleyball Uprights (2-3/8 in. galvanized steel) round out the backyard and rec-league options at the lower end of the price span.

Choosing the Right Floor Sleeve Size and Base Weight

Two things determine which post set fits your court: whether you're mounting into an existing in-ground sleeve or setting up a fully portable system, and what sleeve diameter your facility already has installed. Floor-sleeve uprights (FeatherLite, PowerLite, Hybrid Steel, Carbon Ultralite) require a matching 2 in., 3 in., or 3-1/2 in. anchor sleeve in the floor and are the standard for permanent gym installations. Portable game standards and the Douglas outdoor systems skip the sleeve entirely, relying on a weighted base instead — useful for outdoor courts, multipurpose gyms, or facilities that need to clear the floor for other sports. Check your current hardware or court plans before ordering to avoid a size mismatch.

Brands We Carry

Jaypro is the deepest line in this collection, spanning FeatherLite through Carbon Ultralite uprights, multi-sport systems, game standards, and the tetherball pole. Douglas contributes outdoor Power Volleyball Systems in three sizes, Bownet covers youth, warm-up, and barrier/soccer-tennis nets for recreational and practice use, and Gared's SideOut outdoor net system and First Team's selection round out the facility-grade and recreational options side by side, so you can compare construction and price point within the same collection.
