Let us help you find the perfect hoop for your family and space.
The Last Hoop You’ll Ever Need
No matter which Ryval Hoop you choose, you can’t go wrong because a Ryval Hoop isn’t just a basketball goal. It’s a long-term, no-regret decision for families who take hoops seriously — whether that’s driveway games, daily practice, or kids chasing the next level. These are buy-it-once hoops, not replace in five years” hoops.
Your setup matters — driveway slopes, garage clearance, sidewalks, and backyard layouts all affect how the hoop should be positioned and how it plays.
Think about who’s using the hoop now and who will be using it in a few years, from growing kids to teens, parents, and neighborhood games.
How often and how hard the hoop gets used helps determine the level of stability, glass, and overall build it needs to hold up long-term.
Your available width and depth guide the right backboard size and overhang so the hoop fits comfortably and still feels right when you play.

The Coach Series is Ryval’s most popular residential hoop because it checks every box for serious home play. It’s strong, stable, and built for families who shoot, practice, and play almost every day.
With thicker steel, heavier glass, increased overhang, and full padding, this series feels substantial the moment it’s installed. It adjusts low for younger players, reaches regulation height, and stays solid through years of hard use.
For many families, this is the hoop that feels like the “we nailed it” choice.
The Phenom Series takes everything people like about the Driveway Series and pushes it further. Thicker glass, stronger steel, added padding, and upgraded hardware give this hoop a more finished, confident feel.
It’s a great match for families whose kids are playing often and want something that looks better, feels sturdier, and holds up to regular use. The clear-view backboard and heavier rim give games a more authentic feel without jumping into the biggest system.
Phenom is a feel-good upgrade that still fits comfortably in most driveways.
The Driveway Series is a solid, confidence-building way to bring basketball home. It’s a true in-ground hoop with a tempered glass backboard and steel construction, built for families who want real play without overcomplicating things.
This series works especially well for younger players, casual games, and tighter driveways. The built-in H-frame adds stability, and the adjustable height makes it easy for kids to grow into it over time.
If you’re looking for a dependable, well-built hoop that feels legit from day one, the Driveway Series delivers.
The Kong Series is made for places where basketball never stops. Schools, churches, parks, and large courts that need a hoop that stays rock solid no matter how much action it sees.
This fixed-height system is built with massive steel components, extended overhang, thick padding, and competition-grade hardware. It’s designed to stay put, stay strong, and keep games going day after day.
If the goal is durability, presence, and long-term reliability, Kong delivers.
