Sure Shot Long Reach Gladiator Basketball Unit

The Sure Shot Long Reach Gladiator Basketball Unit is built to withstand the toughest inner-city environments, delivering unmatched durability for outdoor basketball. This heavy-duty, zinc-finished in-ground unit resists weather, vandalism, and frequent use, therefore making it ideal for schools, community centres, and public courts. Its 10cm galvanised post with 5mm thickness provides exceptional structural strength, while the solid galvanised steel ring paired with a white 12-loop nylon net also ensures reliable performance during high-intensity play.

The steel backboard, measuring 120 x 90cm, is complemented by a polycarbonate fascia for added impact resistance and longevity. With a 1.2m extension, the unit provides realistic shooting angles and clearance for safe gameplay. EN-1270 testing guarantees that it meets European safety and performance standards. Supplied to the English and Scottish Outdoor Basketball Initiatives, the Gladiator unit has a proven record of durability and quality, giving facilities confidence in a low-maintenance, long-lasting basketball solution that can handle the rigours of public use.

Ideal for Schools, Community Centres, and Public Courts

Beyond durability, the Gladiator Basketball Unit focuses on practicality and safety. Its heavy-duty galvanised post and solid steel ring can withstand loads of up to 490kg, supporting rigorous play without risk of bending or failure. The 12-loop white nylon net provides consistent rebound and ball response, enhancing shooting and game realism. Installation requires a 1m³ ground hole, and instructions guide staff through secure mounting. Although the ground sleeve is sold separately, it allows easy replacement or maintenance in the future.

Furthermore the steel backboard combined with the polycarbonate fascia protects the structure from impact and environmental damage, ensuring a long-lasting system. Additionally, the 1.2m extension creates proper clearance, enabling players to shoot freely while keeping the area safe. EN-1270 approval confirms the unit’s compliance with European safety standards, making it suitable for schools, public spaces, and urban courts. Overall, this unit blends strength, safety, and low-maintenance design for reliable, long-term outdoor basketball performance.

DELIVERY POLICY

Here at live4sport we take our relationship with the customer very seriously. Once you place your order you should receive an order acknowledgment (via email) confirming that we have received and are processing it. If there is a problem with your order, for example, an item is out of stock, we will do our best to contact you to keep you informed and ask how you would like to proceed.

If you require your order for a specific date or, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01302 725577.

Does Live4sport Carry Stock?

YES – we are different from most other internet shops because we are a ‘bricks and mortar’ business with warehousing facilities in excess of 15,000sq ft. This allows us to deliver a prompt and efficient service to you, our customer. Please note that we do not hold stock of branded teamwear products including Errea and Stanno football kits. It is common practise within this industry to ship football teamwear products from the manufacturer once we receive your order.

You are always welcome to contact us if you have a query regarding lead times. We do understand the importance of meeting delivery expectations.

When Should I Expect My Order?

Stock Items

We stock items in the following sections of the website:-

Footballs

Larger goalposts are delivered by a specialist vehicle and can take 2-3 weeks to deliver. We will of course keep you updated on delivery lead times, but if you require your order by a specific date please make us aware after placing your order.

Out of Stock Items
There are occasions, particularly during the busy summer months when products can be out of stock either in our warehouse and/or with the supplier. On these rare occasions, we will always do our best to contact you as soon as is practicable to keep you informed and ask you how you would like to proceed with your order. We will normally try to offer a substitute product when items are out of stock.

Printing and Embroidery
Personalising a garment takes time. Whether it is one garment or a complete football kit you should always allow 2-3 weeks for delivery from placing the original order. Once you place an order that requires personalisation we will always contact you to confirm your requirements.

What Should I Do If I Have a Question About My Order?

It’s simple – just get in touch. Most of our staff either play football, coach football or are involved in football so we do understand the importance of getting an order delivered on time. Our staff will always give an honest answer when it comes to lead times.

How Do I Return An Item I have Purchased?

All goods returned to us must be sent back to us in their original packaging and tags. Please ensure that the goods and package sent back to us are safe and secure as the goods are your responsibility before they reach our warehouse. All goods will be inspected once they arrive at our warehouse.

This section applies to all returns regardless of the reason for the return, however, see below sections relating to specific returns.

Can I Return An Item That Has Been Personalised?

Once an item has been personalised (or the process of personalisation has started) it cannot be exchanged or returned. Please ensure that when you are putting through an order with personalisation, all details and sizes are correct. If you notice that there is an error on your order, please notify the customer service team as soon as possible. We will attempt to rectify the error but we cannot give any guarantees that it will be possible.

On receipt of any personalised goods, please check the personalisation is all correct. We can only accept returns on personalised items that have been personalised incorrectly by us or if there is a fault with the goods.

Can I Return An Item That I No Longer Want?

If an item is not suitable for your needs, you are welcome to return it back to us within 14 days of receiving it. Please send all goods back to us in their original packaging with their tags and in an unused condition. Once we have received the goods, we can offer a replacement or a refund. Please note that to send out a replacement item for goods that you no longer require, we would have to take an additional shipping cost before we can despatch the replacement. We will also be unable to refund any return shipping costs for goods that are no longer required.

Can I Return An Item That Is Faulty?

If you believe that an item you have received is faulty, you are welcome to send it back to us. Once we have received it we will arrange for it to be tested. If it is deemed to be faulty, we can either replace or refund the item plus any reasonable return carriage costs (up to £6). Please ensure that the goods sent back to us are secure as we are not responsible for any damages that happen during transit back to us. Before you send the goods back to us, please notify us via email or phone of what you believe the fault to be as it may be possible for us to identify the issue and walk you through how to fix it without having to send the goods back.

Please note that even if you believe the item to be faulty you must still return it in the original condition and packaging as though it was brand new.
