Heritage & History
First Team Sports was established in Hutchinson, Kansas to manufacture basketball systems that could withstand the abuse of institutional use while being affordable enough for residential customers. The company recognized that the market was underserved at the intersection of quality and value — most inexpensive basketball systems were flimsy, while commercial-grade systems cost more than most homeowners could justify.
By manufacturing in Hutchinson, First Team Sports built a production capability that could efficiently serve both markets. The same engineering and manufacturing quality that goes into a commercial in-ground system for a school or recreation department also goes into the residential systems sold to homeowners — the difference is in the components specified, not the manufacturing standards applied.
Made in Hutchinson, Kansas
Hutchinson, Kansas is home to First Team Sports' manufacturing operations, producing basketball systems that range from 44-inch portable hoops for residential driveways to 72-inch glass backboard commercial systems with breakaway rims for institutional use.
All systems are engineered and manufactured in Hutchinson, with steel poles, mounting hardware, and rim assemblies built to American standards. The company sells directly to schools, parks departments, recreation centers, and retail customers — and the same American manufacturing quality shows up in every product across the range. For homeowners who want a system that will last decades rather than years, First Team Sports delivers the durability that Kansas manufacturing supports.
