The Bison T-REX Side Court Portable Basketball System (BA895G) is purpose-engineered for one specific job: delivering full competition performance on every side court and practice court in your facility, not just your main floor.
Built for Side Courts. Uncompromising on Quality.
Most facilities invest heavily in their main competition floor and then cut corners on side courts and practice areas. The T-REX Side Court changes that equation. It delivers a full regulation 72" x 42" tempered glass backboard and the same legendary T-REX engineering your main floor relies on, at a price point that makes equipping every court in your facility with high end safe play equipment a realistic budget conversation.
Built for High School, College, and Upper-Level League Play
The T-REX Side Court features a full regulation 72" x 42" tempered glass backboard and is designed specifically for high school, college, gymnasium, and upper-level league environments. It delivers the same competition-ready build quality and regulation specifications that serious programs require on every court in their facility, without the premium price of Bison's FIBA-certified systems. While the safe-play area is not big enough for official High School and College play, this offers a perfect in-between for durable practice play without the price tag of a fully certified system.
Fixed Height. Purpose-Built for Practice and Side Court Use.
The T-REX Side Court is a fixed height system set at regulation 10 ft. For side courts and dedicated practice areas where the height never changes, this is the right engineering choice. No adjustment mechanism means fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and a more stable, cleaner structure that holds up to the daily punishment of serious practice environments.
A Best Seller For Good Reason
The T-REX Side Court is one of Bison's best-selling portable systems. Athletic directors and facilities managers across the country choose it specifically for multi-court buildouts because it delivers the quality your athletes deserve on every court without the premium price of the Americana or International systems. For facilities purchasing multiple units, this is the system that makes a full gym buildout achievable.
Frequently Purchased in Pairs
Multi-court facilities routinely purchase the T-REX Side Court in pairs, equipping both sides of a gymnasium simultaneously for symmetrical practice environments. As an authorized Bison dealer, Top Sports Tech can accommodate multi-unit orders with direct expert support and fast freight shipping on every unit.
The Same T-REX Platform You Trust
