We designed the IGL Travel Hoop specifically for Youth Skill Development (Ages 5-13). 8.5ft is the biomechanical "sweet spot" that allows young players to develop proper shooting form without "heaving" the ball.

Also, to create true Trunk Portability, a system simply cannot safely extend to 10ft. We chose freedom over height.

Absolutely not. We use a 95lb Anchor System (60lb Alloy Frame + 35lb Weighted Ballast Bag).

Unlike cheap plastic hoops, our triangular locking base creates a low center of gravity engineered to withstand driveway winds. No sand mess. No leaking water.

Yes, and it’s a feature, not a bug. Our 15-inch "Sharpshooter Rim" is engineered for precision training.

It forces players to aim for the dead center. As top coaches say: "Aim small, miss small." If you can drain shots on this rim, a regulation hoop will feel huge.

Yes. The frame is built with powder-coated aviation aluminum and rust-resistant hardware, designed for outdoor durability.

However, because it is so easy to fold, we recommend storing it in "Suitcase Mode" during severe storms or snowy winters to extend its lifespan indefinitely.

Yes! This is the ultimate HOA STEALTH MODE solution.

Because it folds down into a compact suitcase, you can wheel it into your garage or closet in seconds. Your neighbors won't even know you have a court.

Zero. None. Put the toolbox away. The IGL Travel Hoop arrives fully pre-assembled. You simply unfold, snap, and lock. The average setup time is under 3 minutes—easy enough for a kid.

Yes! This is a huge advantage over in-ground hoops. It fits comfortably in any room with an 8-9ft ceiling (common in basements and garages).

The base features non-marking wheels, so it won't scratch your hardwood or tile floors.

It fits in 95% of vehicles. The folded dimensions are 30" x 20" x 6". It fits easily into the trunk of a standard sedan (like a Camry or Model 3), and leaves plenty of room in any SUV.

NO DUNKING / NO HANGING

The IGL Travel Hoop is engineered as a Precision Shooting System. Hanging on the rim can compromise the balance and safety of the portable design. Please keep the game "below the rim" for safety.

While designed for youth training, adults love it for fun & recreation. It's perfect for backyard BBQs, tailgating parties, or competitive shooting games like H-O-R-S-E. Just remember: it's not for adult dunking!

The hoop comes with a custom IGL Pro-Mini Basketball perfectly sized for the 15" rim.

However, for training, you can use a standard Size 5 (Youth) or Size 6 (Intermediate) ball for a tighter, more challenging fit.
