We're putting in a half court slab in the backyard and I'm going back and forth on a couple different goals. Is there a need to go to a 72 or would a 60 work?

Input appreciated

I think 10 feet is the standard.

Goalrilla with breakaway rim. Hopefully your teenagers spend all night playing on the eight foot goal like we did

Used to be in the sorting goods biz. Shop around. A company called Escalade makes goalrilla and goal setter. Spalding makes a good high end goal for academy..probably the best value for the money. If I were you I’d shoot for 72” but 60” will play fine..more about how it will look. The most important part will be a solid installation...those goals with a 4’ offset with glass backboards will put a ton of torque on the pole and they will slowly tilt if the foundation is not adequate.

You better check with the HOA first.

Not an issue. Nobody tells me what to do with my land.
