Bison T-Rex Sport Portable Basketball Hoop System BA893

The Bison T-REX Sport Portable Basketball System (BA893G) is the most versatile portable in the entire T-REX lineup — engineered specifically for multi-age programs, youth leagues, and sport facilities that need fast, safe height adjustments without ever compromising the safe play area under the basket.

The Design Feature That Sets It Apart

Every other spring-assist portable basketball system on the market moves the backboard closer to the base when the rim is lowered — shrinking the safe play area under the basket exactly when young players need it most. The T-REX Sport is engineered differently. Height adjusts while the base stays in the play position, maintaining a generous safe play area at every height setting. At regulation 10 ft, the safe play area is 50 inches. Even lowered to 7.5 ft for youth play, it remains 42 inches - enough space to play safely without worrying about players running into the base. 

Three Backboard Options

Choose What's Right for Your Facility Unlike any other T-REX model, the Sport gives you three backboard choices:

• 36" x 60" Clear Glass — crisp, professional appearance for indoor sport programs and competitive recreational play
• 36" x 60" Smoked Glass — a sleek, premium aesthetic for modern facility environments
• 36" x 60" Clear Polycarbonate — virtually unbreakable, ideal for high-traffic facilities, youth programs, and any environment where glass breakage is a concern

All three deliver consistent rebound performance. The choice comes down to your facility's environment, aesthetic, and risk tolerance for glass in your space.

Fully Padded Base — Safety First

The T-REX Sport features 2" thick polyurethane foam padding on the sides and front of the base to a height of 72" — one of the most comprehensive base padding configurations in the T-REX lineup. For youth programs, recreational leagues, and high-traffic facilities where player contact with the base is a real concern, this padding provides critical protection and reduces liability.

Built on the Same Legendary T-REX Platform

The Sport carries all the core T-REX engineering that facilities managers rely on:

• Spring-assisted counterbalance technology — height adjustment is fast, safe, and effortless for any staff member regardless of physical strength
• Zero-maintenance, self-lubricating bearings on all pivot points with chrome-plated steel pivot axles — no grease, no service calls, no downtime
• Floor-friendly casters for easy repositioning by a single staff member
  76" storage height — fits through most standard storage room double doors and garage doors, making it ideal for facilities with limited storage access
• Available in 16 team colors with optional custom graphics on base and riser pads

Who Is This System For?

• Youth leagues and AAU programs where safe play area at lowered heights is a priority
• Multi-age facilities running youth and adult programs in the same gym on the same day
• Schools and rec centers that want a fully padded base for maximum player safety
• Facilities with tight storage access — the 76" storage height fits through most double doors and garage doors
• Programs that want backboard flexibility — the only T-REX portable offering glass, smoked glass, and polycarbonate options

Normal or intended use is described as activity that is necessary for the participation in the sport for which the equipment is designed.
