Description
Overview
The Lifetime B/ball System 44" is the compact model in the Lifetime range of portable hoops. It is a recreational-grade system: a wheeled-base unit you fill with water or sand, stand on a driveway or flat court, and adjust from 2.3 m up to 3.05 m regulation height as the shooters grow.
The 44" acrylic backboard is paired with a sprung hoop, so dunks and hanging on the ring are less likely to bend it out of shape, and a post pad is included to soften contact with the upright. This is a home and casual-play system, not a fixed school or club tower.
Key benefits
- Adjusts from 2.3 m to 3.05 m so one hoop covers young children through to regulation play.
- Moves to where you want it because the base is portable and filled with water or sand.
- Sprung hoop absorbs hard shots and hangs better than a fixed ring for casual play.
- Post pad included to cushion players who run into the upright.
- Acrylic backboard gives a clear, rigid rebound surface.
Who it's for
Families with a driveway or paved area who want a hoop that can start low for young children and finish at regulation height. It also suits early childhood centres and small schools that want a movable hoop rather than a fixed post, provided play stays recreational.
If you have room for a wider backboard, the Lifetime B/ball System 48" is the next step up in the same range. Schools and clubs that need a fixed, heavy-duty court installation should look at the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 1.2m and our other outdoor systems instead.
Sizing guide
Our hoop height guide suggests 2.4 m for children aged 1 to 4 years and 3.05 m (regulation) for ages 5 and up. This system spans 2.3 m to 3.05 m, so both settings are within range.
Care, safety and set-up
Fill the base with water or sand before play so the system stands stable, and keep the post pad fitted. Set the ring height before a session rather than while children are shooting. Being a bulky item, freight is quoted for your address rather than charged at a flat rate; add it to a quote request and we will confirm the total. Covered by our 12-month guarantee.
