ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for adjustable basketball goal systems, and methods for setting up such systems. In one embodiment of the invention, a basketball goal system is provided that includes a backboard that can be moved to be substantially vertical, and a rim that can be moved to be substantially horizontal. In other embodiments of the invention, the basketball goal system includes a neck that can be moved to adjust the height of the rim to a desired height above the playing surface. In one embodiment, a basketball goal system includes a shock absorption system that permits the neck, backboard and rim of the system to move downward to absorb severe shocks, and that automatically returns them to their playing position. Other embodiments include a vehicle-mounted support. Some of the embodiments may be attached to a vehicle-mounted support.
