The First Team Hurricane Triumph Portable Basketball System is one of the most respected competition-grade portable basketball goals in institutional sports. Designed for fieldhouses, gymnasiums, and any environment where aggressive, upper-level basketball is played daily, the Hurricane Triumph delivers competition specs, uncompromising durability, and the floor safety features that athletic directors and facilities managers demand.

Built for Upper-Level Competition

The Hurricane Triumph is not a recreational system. It is engineered from the ground up for competitive institutional environments where players are physical, games are intense, and equipment takes a beating every single day. The massive dual-boom extension arm, competition glass backboard, and direct-mounted goal make this the standard that serious programs choose when they need a portable that can keep up with their athletes.

The FT235 Unbreakable Competition Glass Backboard

Every Hurricane Triumph ships with First Team's flagship FT235 42" x 72" unbreakable competition tempered glass backboard. This is a full NCAA and NFHS regulation-size board built to withstand the punishment of competitive institutional play year after year. The bolt-on Tuffguard backboard padding protects both the board and players from impact, and is included as standard on every unit.

A Design Detail That Protects Your Backboard

Most portable systems in this category mount the goal directly to the backboard, meaning every dunk, hang, and hard rim impact sends stress directly into the glass. The Hurricane Triumph is engineered differently. The goal mounts directly to the extension arm, completely decoupling the rim from the backboard. Over years of heavy institutional use, this single design decision protects your backboard investment and dramatically extends the life of the system.

NCAA and NFHS Compliant Extension

The Hurricane's extension arm features upper and lower boom supports with a 96" base-to-backboard extension, meeting all NCAA and National High School Federation (NFHS) requirements for portable basketball systems. The boom pad is included as standard. Height adjusts from 6 ft to 10 ft using a low-maintenance extension spring design that one person can operate easily.

Safety Built Into Every Dimension

Heavy foam padding covers the front, sides, and back of the base unit. The system rolls on 8" diameter non-marking wheels that protect your gym floor during repositioning. 5" non-marking foot pads lock the unit firmly into the play position. Forklift pockets in the base make transport and installation straightforward for facilities teams.

Choose Your Type

The Hurricane Triumph is available in three types. The only difference between them is whether floor anchor tie-downs are included and what type of floor they are designed for. All three are identical in every other specification.
