The Rampage portable basketball goal is by far the best performing unit in its class. No other portable goal offers this level of rigidity, portability and simple height adjustment at such an affordable price.

Infinite rim height adjustment can be made with the easy crank handle located on the back of the vertical mast. The rim height indicator labels determine rim heights from 10' to 6'6". The Rampage uses our exclusive crank-up design, which is far superior to similar goals using "spring-slide" methods.

The Rampage can easily be transported across a gym floor or up a driveway. Simply depress the foot lever located on the base unit for transport. Flip the lever back up for play. The extension arm drops down easily without tools to allow the Rampage to pass under doorways for storage rooms or garages. The backboard to base extension is 30" at all rim heights. The front base extension is 30" at all rim heights. The front base and stem are covered with thick vinyl padding for player safety. Padding is available in several choices of colors.

A selection of acrylic backboards is available on the Rampage. Each package includes a high quality flex goal with net. Get in the game with First Team's Rampage.

Leaders for online basketball equipment! Basketball Hoops, Basketball Goals, Basketball Jerseys, Basketball Shoes, Basketball Uniforms www.HoopDepot.com A game that started with 18 men in a YMCA gymnasium in Springfield, Mass., has grown into a game that more than 300 million people play worldwide. The man who created this instantly successful sport was Dr. James Naismith. Under instructions from the head of Physical Education at the School for Christian Workers, Naismith was given 2 weeks to invent an indoor game that would provide an "athletic distraction" for a rowdy class through the brutal New England winter. His creation didn't come easily. His first intention was to bring outdoor games indoors such as soccer and lacrosse. These games proved to be too physical and cumbersome. After brainstorming some new ideas, Naismith developed basketball's original 13 rules and consequently, the game of basketball. The new indoor game was played with a soccer ball, peach baskets and nine to a side. This first contest is believed to have been played Dec. 21, 1891. The 13 original rules. 1. The ball can be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. 2. The ball can be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but never with the fist. 3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it. 4. The ball must be held in or between the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it. 5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping an opponent. 6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist. 7. If a side makes three consecutive fouls it counts a goal for the opponents. 8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the ground into the basket and stays there. 9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field and played by the first person touching it. 10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. 11. The referee shall be the judge of the ball and decide when it is in play in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. 12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves with a five minute rest between. 13.The side scoring the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In the history of basketball, the highest-rated college basketball game seen on U.S. television was the 1979 NCAA tournament championship game - Michigan State vs. Indiana State final that featured Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. This was one of the best-rated basketball games in basketball history.
