Just because you don’t have a lot of space doesn’t mean you have to give up the game of basketball. Basketball is a fun, exciting sport that can help you exercise and build memories. Playing a pick up game with friends or just shooting some hoops can be done, even if space is an issue.

One option for limited space is a portable basketball system. Portable basketball goal systems can be stored when needed or moved to another location. Portable systems are made up of a base, a pole, a rim with a net, and a backboard. The base can be filled with water or sand to keep the unit stable. Portable systems can be used in the driveway, the backyard, or the street. When play is over, the unit can be moved.

Many portable systems come with wheels that can be locked during play and unlocked to move.   Rolling the system to storage or a new location is simple and can be done by just about anyone. Other units fold down for easy storage in a garage or storage area. If you move a portable system can go with you. Portable systems come in fixed or adjustable. If you have a growing family, an adjustable system can give you the versatility you need. Small spaces are the perfect spot for portable basketball goals.

Portable units can be customized to further meet your space needs. You can choose from a variety of different sized backboards for your portable system. If your space is extra small, you can choose a smaller sized backboard such as 39” x 54” or if you have a little more room to work with you can choose a basketball backboard up to 42” x 72”.

Another option for small spaces is a folding wallmount structure such as the FoldaMount 46 Triumph. The FoldaMount 46 Triumph provides you with a high-quality side-fold wall-mounted basketball system that can be installed very easily. This unit folds either to the left or the right to move the basketball goal close to the wall during volleyball games and other activities. You don’t need to use any special tools or a ladder to do so.

Folding wallmount systems are perfect for gyms that need to use their space for other sports or activities. When the system needs to be moved folding it away is simple and space is saved. You don’t need to decide between basketball and other sports, you can do both even if you have a small space to work with.

Another choice for small spaces is a retractable backboard. These backboards are mounted to walls and ceilings and then can be retracted with a key lock system. The key is inserted and the backboard, rim, and net retract to the ceiling. This leaves room for other activities while still providing a quality basketball goal for individual and team play.

Small spaces don’t need to be a reason to limit what sports you can enjoy. There are so many different types of basketball goals for small spaces, it is easy to find one that works for your small space.
