Pool Basketball Hoops

Pool basketball is the game that gets teenagers into the water and keeps them there. A hoop at the shallow end turns an ordinary swim into something with a purpose, and it works just as well for a casual game of horse as it does for a full match in a sport pool.

Built for the pool environment

Standard driveway hoops fail fast next to a pool. The steel pole rusts, the hardware corrodes from chlorine and salt in the air, and the backboard yellows and cracks. This is molded from UV stabilized resin with no rusting components, so it holds up to constant splash out, salt and direct sun.

Placement

• Use the shallow end so players can stand and jump off the bottom safely.
• Keep the hoop clear of the coping edge so nobody drives into concrete going for a rebound.
• Watch the sightline from wherever adults usually sit, so play stays supervised.
• Consider a sport pool layout, where a consistent depth from end to end makes for the best games.

Pair poolside basketball with cornhole, ping pong and the lawn game range so there is something to do both in and out of the water.
