Residential & Driveway Portables

Portable Basketball Systems for Every Driveway and Home Court

Most of the systems in this collection are portable basketball goals, meaning the backboard and rim sit on a wheeled base that's filled with sand or water for stability, then rolled into a driveway, garage pad, or backyard court and moved out of the way when not in use. First Team supplies the bulk of the lineup — 46 models across the Rampage, OmniJam, OmniSlam, Fury, Thunder, Storm, and RollaSport series — giving homeowners a wide spread of base sizes, backboard materials, and price points under one brand. Jaypro rounds out the portable options with its Elite 5400, 6600, and 9600 systems, each built around a glass backboard and board-extension arm sized from 4'6" up to 8' for extra overhang and stability.

Who Portables Suit

Portable systems are the right call for renters, families who share driveway space with parked cars, or anyone who isn't ready to core-drill a permanent pole into concrete. Because the base is the counterweight rather than an in-ground sleeve, the same hoop can follow you if you move.

Backboard Sizes and Materials: 54" to 72" Glass

Backboard size is one of the biggest differences between models in this collection. You'll find 54" boards (Gared Hoopmaster LT 54, Dominator 54"), 60" boards (Dominator 60 Inch, First Team Omnichamp Eclipse 36"x60" Smoked Tempered Glass), and full 72" boards (Gared Hoopmaster LT 72, Jaypro Elite 9600 and 6600). Larger 72" glass backboards give a more regulation-style rebound and are typically paired with heavier bases and breakaway rims, while 54" boards keep the footprint and price more compact for driveways with limited space.

• Tempered glass: used across the Jaypro Elite series and several First Team models for a truer bounce than acrylic.
• Smoked tempered glass: featured on the First Team Omnichamp Eclipse for a distinct look.
• Board extension length: ranges from 4'6" on the Jaypro Elite 5400 up to 8' on the Elite 9600, which affects how far the rim projects from the pole.

Fixed-Height and In-Ground Adjustable Options

Not every model in this collection is portable. First Team also offers fixed-height goals — the Legend Intensity BP and Legend Jr. Pro — for households that want a permanent, no-adjustment setup, along with the Jam Nitro BP In Ground Adjustable Basketball Goal for buyers who prefer an in-ground pole with height flexibility for mixed-age players. These are worth considering if you have a dedicated concrete pad and don't need to relocate the hoop.

Poolside Basketball Goals

For backyards with a pool, First Team's HydroSport Select and HydroSport III are built specifically as poolside basketball goals, mounting at the pool's edge rather than in a driveway. These let you add a hoop for pool basketball without occupying deck space with a standard portable base.

Choosing the Right Brand and Budget

With five brands and a price span from $1,770 to $17,263, this collection covers entry-level driveway hoops through premium home systems. Dominator's 54" and 60" hoops sit at the accessible end for casual driveway play, Gared's Hoopmaster LT series offers a straightforward recreational portable option, and First Team's dozens of Rampage, OmniJam, OmniSlam, and Fury variants let you compare base size, backboard material, and rim style within one familiar brand. Jaypro's Elite 5400/6600/9600 systems and the Douglas D-Pro 435 MAX represent the higher end of the range, built around larger glass backboards and breakaway rims for buyers who want a system closer to what's used in indoor gyms.

Compare a few models side by side on backboard size, portability, and price before deciding — the details in each product title (board size, extension length, glass type) tell you most of what you need to match a system to your driveway or backyard space.
