Buy a portable basketball hoop

Hoops, along with a basketball, are essential to be able to play basketball. After all, you throw the ball through them, and that is how you score. However simple that sounds, you do need a hoop for it. To practice your shots at home, Burned Sports provides you with the best hoops. In all sizes and types.

Dribbling, pivoting, passing; of course it's all part of the game. But what it's really about is slamming that ball through the hoop and hitting threes. Hoops are therefore essential if you want to train to become as good as the great top players. Burned Sports carries various types of portable basketball systems. A wheeled hoop is ideal, because you can set it up anywhere. Thanks to the lightweight material, it's easy to move. You can stabilize it yourself by filling the base of the hoop with water or sand. There are also heavy-duty hoops with a steel construction. Perfect for optimizing your dunks and lay-ups. Despite the weight, this hoop is still easy to move, thanks to the wheel system.

Types of basketball hoops

Most hoops and basketball systems at Burned are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. What's more, they're height-adjustable. So everyone can enjoy playing basketball with them. You can set it to regulation height, but the hoop can also be lowered. That way kids can have just as much fun with it, and the hoop grows with them in height. The brand that is inseparably linked to basketball is, of course, Spalding. Besides their well-known basketballs, they also make hoops. And not just the wheeled kind, but also an in-ground hoop that you can anchor in the ground. Or a mounting bracket to attach your backboards to different surfaces.

History of the hoop

It's a luxury that today we can choose from different types of hoops. When basketball was invented at the end of the nineteenth century, a peach basket served as the hoop. Every time a point was scored, the referee had to take the ball out of the basket. Later, a net was hung in the bottom and the basketball was poked out with a stick. It was not until 1906 that they switched to a rim with a backboard and a net: the hoop as we know it today.
