First Team RetroFit42 Backboard Packages - RetroFit42 Supreme

First Team RetroFit42 backboard packages are a perfect, hassle free choice for replacing old, worn out backboards on existing basketball posts.
Each RetroFit42 backboard package includes backboard, rim and easy-mount RetroFit42 bracket.  The RetroFit42 bracket is built with two vertical slots on the back side of the bracket.  These slots are positioned 5" apart horizontally.  Because the slots are 5" apart, it is recommended that the attachement plate at the end of the existing basketball post be at least 6"x6" in size.  NOTE:  Four holes may need to be drilled into the mounting plate on the neck of the post to match the 5" slot dimension.  Once attached, the vertical slots in the RetroFit42 bracket will allow the backboard and rim to be fine tuned so perfect 10' rim height can be reached.

The RetroFit42 is available with a variety of backboard and rim options.  Check below for package options.  For additional safety, backboard padding is available in a variety of colors for all RetroFit42 packages.  First Team also offers a wide range of post pads to protect players from running into the basketball post.

Why tear out a perfectly good basketball post just because the backboard is worn out?  Refurbish it with First Team RetroFit42 basketball backboard combos and get back in the game!
