I grew up playing sports. Both my husband and I played three sports a year growing up. To say we are an active family, is an understatement. We thrive on being outside. Last year we contemplated getting a hoop to start playing basketball with our girls. The summer went by so quick and we were in the middle of moving it kind of became something we wish we “would have done” instead of something we “did”.
Well, I am now THRILLED to share the Spalding 50″ Acrylic Basketball System we received from Spalding! 
It’s everything that our family needs…and honestly, everything most families would need. I can’t think of a feature that it doesn’t have that we would want. So, let’s get on with the details out this beauty!
First of all, Spalding makes these simple to assemble and the instructions are very clear. I left for the gym one morning and my husband had it 70% done by the time I returned.
He did it ALL by himself but he did mention it could go pretty quick if there were two of him. 🙂 Oops LOL! Once assembled, anyone would be proud to have this baby sitting in their driveway. The quality is amazing and it’s totally adjustable, which is a pretty big key for our family. Our 7 year old likes to shoot her new Spalding Rookie Gear Basketball (which is amazing by the way) and our 4 year old is tossing up her mini ball. The hoop can be set as low as 7′ which is just about perfect for the girls right now. It’s also really easy to pop it up to 10′, or anything in between, if Mike and I want to duke it out in a game of H.O.R.S.E. You can see the handle to the right.
I would say it’s pretty portable as well. It’s not something I want to move around everyday, but Spalding designed it in such away that if you had to you could. I love an in the ground hoop as much as the next person, but for where we are at in life right now this is perfect!
A few last highlights if I may:
-ExactaHeight Lift makes adjustments accurate and easy
-3.5″ round support pole
-Pro Slam Rim
-Padded backboard
-High quality acrylic backboard
If you are looking to get a hoop, look no further than Spalding. The variety they have can’t be beat and the quality is the best on the market. You know, in my humble but QUITE accurate description 🙂
