When we moved into the place where we currently live, there was an old, rusty basketball goal next to the end of our driveway, right next to the road. We are in a very rural area, and there’s very little traffic, but if you ask me it’s still a pretty crazy place for a basketball goal. That opinion was made even stronger when I came home yesterday to find that the wind had blown it over. Luckily it didn’t go in the road, but if it had it could have caused a wreck.

It would be nice to have a new one, especially with Pumpkin playing at school. Pro Dunk Hoops has a huge selection of basketball goals to choose from. I would like to get just a backboard and rim and put it on the outside of our storage building. Then we wouldn’t have to worry about it ending up in the road, or about Pumpkin getting in the road when practicing. Or we could put up an in-ground goal somewhere in the same area if that wouldn’t work out. That would actually be better, because some of the freestanding ones are adjustable, and that’s a must when you’ve got a little one playing. And the Pro Dunk site has some high-quality products, so she would get to use it as she grows.

Having a good basketball goal in a good location would be great for our whole family. Basketball is one of the few sports that Hubby, Pumpkin and I all enjoy, and it would be wonderful for us to all be able to play together. Maybe it would even help me drop some of those extra pounds.
