First Team Legend Jr. Fixed Height In Ground Basketball Goal - Legend Jr. III
The Legend Jr. Fixed Height Basketball Goal offers a combination of playground durability and professional performance!
The Legend Jr.'s vertical post and extension arm are both constructed of rugged 5" square 3/16" thick tubular steel. Combined they provide top-notch performance in both durability and rigidity. The post is set back 52" for added safety.
The extension arm on the Legend Jr. is attached to the vertical post using six high tensile 5/8" bolts. Though the Legend Jr. is considered a "Fixed Height" goal, the extension arm can be bolted at any height along with the post.
