First Team Titan In-Ground Adjustable Basketball Hoop

Model Type

First Team Titan In-Ground Adjustable Basketball Hoop

The First Team Titan In-Ground Adjustable Basketball Goal is the most versatile in-ground adjustable basketball goal in the First Team lineup. With six distinct backboard configurations spanning acrylic, tempered glass, steel, and aluminum materials, the Titan is the right choice for home courts, outdoor recreational courts, commercial facilities, and institutional environments that need a permanent, bolt-down goal engineered to perform year after year without compromise.

Six Backboard Materials. One Exceptional Platform.

The Titan offers backboard materials that no other adjustable goal in the range provides. Acrylic and glass for premium residential and commercial courts. Steel and aluminum for outdoor recreational, playground, and institutional environments where glass or acrylic would be impractical or vulnerable to vandalism. Every configuration is built on the same FT1600 Titan Pole System with the same massive 6" square steel post, the same direct rim mount design, and the same Lifetime Superior Warranty. The backboard choice is entirely yours.

A Post Built for Permanent Performance

The Titan is anchored around First Team's FT1600 Titan Pole System, featuring a massive 6" square steel post that delivers the rigidity, stability, and permanence that a bolt-down in-ground installation demands. There is no flex, no wobble, and no movement during aggressive play at any age or skill level. Once installed, the Titan is a fixture of your court for decades.

Direct Rim Mount Design

Like every First Team goal, the Titan mounts the rim directly to the extension arm rather than the backboard. Every dunk, hang, and hard rim impact is absorbed by the steel arm rather than transferred into the backboard material. For a permanent installation, this design decision protects your backboard investment across many years of heavy daily use regardless of which backboard configuration you select.

Infinite Height Adjustment

The Titan features infinite height adjustment from youth play all the way to regulation 10 ft. The adjustment mechanism allows any user to set the exact rim height needed for their program quickly and reliably. A built-in height indicator ensures the rim is always at the correct position without measuring or guessing between sessions.

Bolt-Down Permanent Installation

The Titan is a permanent bolt-down in-ground system requiring a concrete anchor installation before assembly and mounting. This is not a portable or relocatable goal. It is engineered for permanent placement on a dedicated court surface and is designed to stay there for the life of your facility.

Choose Your Type

All six types share the same FT1600 Titan Pole System, 6" square steel post, direct rim mount design, infinite height adjustment, and Lifetime Superior Warranty. The only difference is backboard size and material. Four distinct badge colors below identify each material category at a glance.

Titan Supreme

42" x 72" Acrylic

The FT222 42" x 72" acrylic backboard paired with the FT186 Heavy Duty Flex Goal on the full Titan pole system. Approx. shipping weight 380 lbs. Best for home courts and facilities where acrylic durability at an accessible entry price is the priority.

Titan Arena

42" x 72" Tempered Glass

Steps up to a full 42" x 72" tempered glass backboard for superior rebound response, clarity, and a premium playing experience. Best for home courts and commercial facilities where glass performance and the highest-end appearance are the priority.

Titan Playground

42" x 60" Steel

A 42" x 60" steel backboard built specifically for outdoor recreational courts, parks, and public facilities where glass or acrylic would be impractical or at risk of vandalism. Steel backboards are virtually indestructible in outdoor environments and require no special care or maintenance. Best for parks, playgrounds, and outdoor community courts.

Titan Excel

42" x 72" Steel

Steps up to a full regulation-size 42" x 72" steel backboard for outdoor and institutional environments that need a full-size playing surface with the indestructible durability of steel. Best for outdoor institutional courts and recreation facilities where full regulation backboard size and maximum long-term durability are both required.

Titan Impervia

42" x 60" Aluminum

A 42" x 60" aluminum backboard delivers superior corrosion resistance for outdoor courts in coastal, high-humidity, and harsh weather environments where steel backboards may rust over time. Best for coastal properties, high-humidity climates, and outdoor installations where long-term corrosion resistance is a priority.

Titan Intensity

42" x 72" Perforated Aluminum

The top Titan configuration. A full regulation-size 42" x 72" perforated aluminum backboard combines maximum corrosion resistance with a distinctive premium aesthetic. The perforated design reduces wind resistance on outdoor courts and delivers a unique, modern appearance. Best for premium outdoor installations where appearance, durability, and wind resistance all matter.

Not sure which type is right for your court? For premium home courts, the Arena glass or Supreme acrylic are the right choices. For outdoor public courts and parks, the Playground or Excel steel configurations are the practical choice. For coastal or high-humidity environments, the Impervia or Intensity aluminum backboards provide the best long-term corrosion resistance. Our team is happy to help — contact us directly for a recommendation.

Lifetime Superior Warranty

The Titan carries First Team's Lifetime Superior Warranty, the highest level of warranty coverage First Team offers. For a permanent bolt-down court installation, this warranty provides the long-term assurance that your investment is protected for the life of the system.

Optional Upgrades

The Titan is available with padding add-ons that are worth considering at the time of purchase. For a permanent bolt-down installation, adding padding after the system is in the ground is significantly more difficult than ordering it upfront.

  • TuffGuard 72" backboard padding provides bolt-on player protection around the backboard edges and is strongly recommended for any facility where player contact with the backboard is a concern. Available in several colors to match your team or facility palette.
  • Pole padding for 6" square bolt-down poles adds a premium padded sleeve around the post for facilities where player contact with the post is a safety consideration. Particularly recommended for youth programs, schools, and high-traffic recreational courts.
Padding recommendation: For permanent court installations we strongly recommend ordering padding at the time of purchase. Backboard and pole padding protect both your players and your investment, and are far easier to install during initial setup than after the system is bolted into the ground.
