Play indoor roundball and keep score on this custom backboard and hoop!
This Basketball hoop and scoreboard is perfectly safe for indoor play bec ause the ball itself is made of foam. Still, I’d mount it on the wall in your room, just in case.
The common misnomer about foam balls is that they won’t knock down anything breakable. People tend to forget that while foam weighs next to nothing, if you start tossing said foam basketball all around the house, it’s bound to knock something over and break it. So, while this is a very cool basketball backboard and hoop, with custom name plate and chalk scoreboard, it’s probably a good idea not to mount it on a wall next to mom’s china plate collection.
What’s cool about this Hoop and Ball set is the chalk scoreboard. Although that means you need to be able to really dunk your shot so you can write and erase the score, but it’s a fun low tech extra.
Some key features:
•
• Two chalkboards keep score (chalk not included).
• Hoop folds for easy storage.
• Hangs from any door for easy portability, or can be secured to a wall; includes hardware.
• Personalization is available for an additional $6.50, so your little hoopster always has the home court advantage.
I think though, that for an extra $25 or so an electronic scoreboard would be cooler. But for $60 at Pottery Barn, it’s not a bad deal.

Hi, do you know where I can find this personalized hoop? My 5 year old asked Santa for this and I can’t find it anywhere. Please help! Thanks
HGTV – http://marketplace.hgtv.com/Product.aspx?Lid=4093-4493615 I’m sure they ship. But I’d also contact PotteryBarn directly and see if it’s discontinued or just sold out. You may be able to get a special order. But you better hurry, the clock is ticking!
Thanks for reading!
