What We Like About the Varsity Swimming Pool Basketball SystemThis is the idea that set the standard for sophisticated water basketball. The patented Varsity Swimming Pool Basketball System is a fun-filled no-hassle dream for recreation managers oper ating municipal pools community centers health clubs luxury resorts cruise ships and other locations where the action is extreme and the budget extremely low. It`s also a backyard entertainment center sure to keep everyone entertained at home. It`s r ugged. It`s even engineered to withstand the punishment of teenagers at play. When residential pool owners demand the ultimate water basketball system they graduate to the Varsity.Patented DesignNever climb out of the pool to chase air balls again! T hanks to the signature winged backboard the patented design captures errant shots from mid-air and not only keeps them from flying out of the pool but it also returns them towards the shooter. With angled wings under the hoop and on both sides it`s l ike having actual rebounders on your team! You can even do trick shots off the wings - just hit the right spot and swoosh - two points!Safe and EasyThe Varsity virtually anchors to the deck (no drilling or mounting) with a high-capacity portable base . When filled with up to 50 gallons of water (or sand) the rugged molded plastic base creates a highly stable platform that remains in place during the most aggressive play. The base is immune to rain snow extreme weather conditions and sunlight and can be left outside year-round. Or empty the water for an easy move into the storage shed
