Hi, does anyone have any suggestions for a good value for money basketball hoop for young kids to play in the back yard?
I saw this one being sold at Target which looked suitable from the photo, but according to the reviews it is quite flimsy and the rim breaks easily.

I have recently tested quite a few and found that almost all Portable Acrylic boards are so flimsy that bank shots off the board do not have that natural bounce/feel to it.
The only one that comes close that is portable is the glass version on by Spalding but it is expensive.
Support the NBL and it's sponsors buy it from Kmart

Look for a more premium one second-hand on Gumtree?

Back when I was buying one for the lad, I saw many, many used acrylic ones looking very shabby indeed in driveways all around my area. I bit the bullet and went for a Goalrilla setup. Not at all cheap by any stretch, but I have not regretted it for an instant. Looks as good now as when I bought it 3 years ago.
It looks like Kmart doesn't sell these any more :(
Well at least according to their website. Might have to pop into a store
Vuly portable system has been great so far had it for 12 months. The perforated metal backboard is great doesn't become a sail in windy weather and therefore doesn’t blow over. Has a glass backboard and system for about the 3 months before it brok
