TRANSPORTABLE BASKETBALL SYSTEM HAVING WIND-TRANSMISSIVE BACKBOARD STRUCTURE AND SAND-ANCHORABLE POST ASSEMBLY

摘要

A transportable basketball system (1) having components which are arrangeable in a play configuration and also in a transport configuration during which said transportable basketball system (1) can be easily transported between a sand covered outdoor environment and a remote location. Preferably, the transportable basketball system (1) comprises a wind-transmissive backboard structure having a backboard surface (2c) disposed substantially within a first plane, bounded by a frame structure (2), and characterized by a high degree of air permeability (i.e. transmissivity). A basketball hoop structure (3a), defining an opening connected to the wind-transmissive backboard structure (2). The basketball hoop structure (3a) is generally disposed within a second plane substantially perpendicular to the first plane when the transportable basketball system (1) is arranged in its play configuration. A pole assembly (4), including a plurality of arrangeable pole sections (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) and a pole anchoring device (5) is provided.
