Product Overview
In short
The First Team Champ III is an in-ground adjustable basketball goal featuring a one-piece 4" square steel pole (11 gauge, 36" burial), adjustable from 10' to 7'6" in 6" increments, with a 54"×36" acrylic backboard and institutional-quality flexible rim. The entire system weighs approximately 160# and carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
✓ Authorized First Team Dealer — ships brand-new with full manufacturer warranty & support

The Champ III in-ground system uses a robust one-piece 4" square steel pole with minimum 11 gauge wall thickness, designed to be buried 36" deep in concrete with a watertight vinyl cap. The extension arms are constructed of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" tubing and allow for rim mounting with a minimum 18" setback from the pole to the backboard face.

The rim height is adjustable from 10' down to 7 1/2' in six-inch increments using a pole or broom handle to release the adjustment mechanism. Two counterbalancing springs in the extension assembly make one-person height adjustments easy, and the rim mounts directly to the extension arm through the backboard to reduce stress.

The backboard measures approximately 54" wide by 36" high and is constructed of 1/2" acrylic with bright white screening, supported by clear anodized aluminum extrusions. The institutional-quality flexible rim features a 5/8" high-strength steel ring with a 3/16" support brace, compression wire spring action, and orange powdercoated finish. The entire system weighs approximately 160# and includes a Lifetime Limited Warranty on the pole, backboard, and standard rim.
