Basketball Anyone?
Posted By Lauren Ryan on April 28, 2011
There was a time, not so long ago, that kids didn’t need encouragement from their parents to go outside and play. But that was before video game consoles and hundreds of cable television channels. Today’s parents need to be extremely proactive in getting their children away from the screen and outside exercising.
One terrific way of getting children exercising is by installing a basketball backboard above your garage door. It won’t cost much, it’s easy to install, and the whole family can get involved in the game.
basketball hoops can be found at almost any sporting goods store or big box store like Target or Wal-Mart. A really good backboard, hoop and net set up usually costs $50-$150.
If a traditional backboard won’t work in your driveway, consider getting portable basketball goals. These hoop require some assembly, but can be easily moved to any hard surface including the street or driveway. A portable basketball hoop set up will run close to $200. Not every municipality allows these hoops to be set up in the street, so check before you make your purchase.
Setting up your own basketball court can really encourage your kids to get involved in healthy, outside activities.
