Description
Overview
The Avaro Portable Basketball Goal is a freestanding, height-adjustable goal from our Avaro range, built for outdoor use where a ground-socketed tower is not an option. The base is filled with water or sand once in position, and the post adjusts from 2.3 m to 3.05 m.
It carries a full-size acrylic backboard with a sprung hoop and comes with a post pad. Avaro rates it recreational grade: it is for PE, lunchtime and driveway play, not for competition courts. It is a freight-quoted item.
Key benefits
- One goal grows with your players, adjusting from 2.3 m to 3.05 m.
- Full-size acrylic backboard so shooting angles match a fixed court.
- Sprung hoop flexes under contact rather than staying rigid.
- Post pad included, so the upright is padded from day one.
- Water or sand filled base means no concrete pad or ground socket to install.
Who it's for
Primary and intermediate schools, clubs setting up a casual court, and families who want a proper hoop at home. The Basketball Hoop Height size guide puts 1 to 4 year olds at 2.4 m and 5 years and over at 3.05 m, the regulation height, so this goal covers both bands with room to drop a little lower.
If you need a fixed installation for a school court, look at the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 2.4m in our outdoor systems range. Fixed towers suit heavier use and organised competition better than a recreational-grade portable.
Sizing guide
Set the hoop at 2.4 m for ages 1 to 4 and at 3.05 m, the regulation height, for ages 5 and over, following the Basketball Hoop Height guide. The post adjusts anywhere between 2.3 m and 3.05 m.
Care, safety and set-up
Fill the base fully with water or sand before play and top it up if the level drops. Lower the post before moving the goal and keep the post pad fitted. Delivery is by freight quote, so allow for that when planning a school or club order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the post pad included?
Yes. The post pad ships with the goal, along with the full-size acrylic backboard and sprung hoop.
Can we use it for school or club competition?
It is recreational grade, so it is intended for PE, casual play and home use. For competition courts, a fixed outdoor tower is the better choice.
How is it shipped?
It is a bulky freight item. Add it to your quote list and request a quote; the team will price freight to your address and confirm dispatch.
What height should I set for a primary class?
The size guide gives 2.4 m for 1 to 4 year olds and 3.05 m for 5 years and over. Many teachers start lower and raise the hoop as shooting improves.
