Have you ever thought of putting a basketball hoop up at your home? A number of people do this so that their kids have a safe place to play at home. Rather than worrying where your kids are you could just look outside and see them playing a game of one on one with a friend and not worry that they’ve wandered off somewhere.
Not to mention the fact that the kids get a little bit of exercise rather than staying indoors playing video games. I don’t have kids but if I did I’d want them outside playing for an hour or two each day, getting exercise, socializing with friends and making life long memories.
If you don’t already have a basket ball hoop or if you’ve been thinking about getting a new one you should check out the ultimate home basketball hoop. It’s called The Hoops Pro Dunk Diamond and it’s a high-end residential basketball goal system. Most basketball hoop systems only have a 4′ extension arm, but this system has an 8″ x 8′ pole, and a 5′ extension arm, plus an NCAA grade rim and backboard.
Here I am talking about kids and saying I don’t have any. My husband is the biggest kid of all and he used to have a basketball hoop at one of his former workplaces. He’d love one of these systems if we could find a place to install it. I wonder if they can be installed on the side of the house with an angled arm or something since we don’t have a garage or anything that you could attach it to. Hmmm I’ll have to think about this idea. Maybe Chris will have a fantastic birthday gift in a few months.
Too bad that hoop website is currently having problems. (It’s a code issue at their site.) It sounds like a really good option. I’ve been doing a lot of writing about basketball (books, videos, equipment) lately, and this was the first recommendation I’ve seen for what sounds like a really good hoop design. I’ll go search Google for it… thanks for the recommendation!
