Carter in Sarasota
I bought this item for my 6 year old grandson and he absolutely loves it, especially the spring loaded rim that "gives" when he dunks. And the Amazon price was far, far better than any other online source.

Great hoop for young basketball enthusiasts
We purchased this mini hoop basketball system for our son who plays with it in his room all the time. We had been through countless Nerf hoops, which tore up quickly even though we reinforced them. Our son loves this hoop for the durable backboard and the springing rim which allows him to enjoy many dunk shots. We love it for the durability, the great price, and the padding on the back which protects his door. He also likes the mini basketball which looks like a small version of the real thing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a really good indoor basketball system. The only issue we had with it was a problem with the ball in the first week. It developed a lump that grew and deformed the ball. I contacted the maker of the product and they quickly sent a new replacement ball with a warning to be sure not to pump it up with any more than 2 lbs. of pressure. The new ball is working fine. I am totally satisfied with the purchase.

Good So Far
Just set it up and played with it and it seems well-made so far. My husband says a foam ball might make it a little less loud, but the ball it came with is nice as well.

The best one out there!
There are a lot of mini hoops out there, but this one is by far the best one. I am a college student and I have seen my share of mini hoops in the dorms. There are a lot of flimsy and cheesy ones out there, but not this one. The quality of this one is amazing! It is very durable. I have had mine for two years in the dorms and have not had to replace anything except for pump up the ball every once in a while. It's definitely a cool little toy!

Great deal, decent item
I am very happy with this item. It is fairly easy to put together. It is fun and works great. It is one heck of a deal.
Rating :     
Great for price
The backboard is plastic but it works fine for my young boys and was not expensive. It's a little tricky to put together but I'm sure they all are. Make sure the sand is dry before you try to put it in (or use water) in the stand.

Very nice and functional. Harder to install than indicated in the instructions. Took 4 people 4 hours to assemble. Also delivery info very deceiving, at order time suggested shipping date was a week plus a week for delivery. This was too long for a typical Amazon order. But in actuality it arrived in just a week. Shipping info in general should be more precise.

Best for the price
This was the best baseketball hoop I could find for this price range. I bought it merely based on review from others. And it is a fantastic product once you assemble it. When the product arrived, I did not check the hardware. Turns out, I was missing some hardware and I had to call the customer service. They were polite and shipped the entire hardware set again. I am glad I bought it and its very good. Don't throw away the packaging. The cutomer service ask for the numbers in the manual etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this product if you have the time and patience to assemble it and figure out on your own. The manual is not very clear on certain steps. The time I mentioned about includes extra time for shipping the missing parts. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars.

Great Hoop for the $
Our (tall) six year old son can easily shoot hoops. My husband said it is easy to put together. We have yet to fill it yet (have mulch bags on top of it to hold it in place) but it stays in place and is easy to move around our driveway when cars are going in and out.

High Quality, Great Price
I ordered these for my girlfriend and they fit perfectly, and are very durable. She didn't need to break them in as much as other shoes because of the solid craftsmanship. Highly recommended sneakers for everyday wear.
Rating :     
Good shoe, runs small
These are comfortable shoes, but order large if you don't have really narrow feet - I ordered a half size up, and they are still so small that I need to return them.
Rating :   
Terrible shoe. Uncomfortable. Poorly made. Squeaky to the point of stupid.
Dumbest. Shoe. Ever. The SQUEAKING ruins them. Not only is it LOUD, it gets LOUDER with wear. You will sound like an IDIOT when you wear these shoes. Inside, you can hear them at least 15 yards away. Outside, unless a bus is passing by, you still hear them when you walk. Plus, the QUALITY IS BAD. The insole on the right foot is peeling away after less than 2 months. The left is mis-shapen so that my middle toe creeps to the far left of the shoe, causing severe discomfort. Mainly, THE SQUEAKING MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE AN IDIOT. Who's that guy with the loud shoes passing me by in the hallway at school? YOU. Who's that moron whose shoes make so much noise at the gym? YOU. Who's that guy whose foot hurts b/c he tried to work out in his Sambas? YOU. I bought these so I could do martial arts, but the squeaking is just irritating and distracting (thank goodness I'm not trying to be a Ninja!), and the discomfort renders them useless in a work out after about 15 minutes. OH, and did I mention that the stylish and slick blue Adidas tag on the tongue disappears as the tongue rides down to the inside of the shoe, rendering the logo invisible and the shoes even more uncomfortable?
Rating : 
Comfortable and Sexy
I have never owned some Sambas but I really liked the look of them. I thus went out on a limb and purchased a pair. I ordered my usual size (11.5) which luckily fit just fine. A lot of people have said they run small but my size fit perfectly. These shoes seem very sturdy. I am the type that has one main pair of shoes that I wear for almost everything every day. These shoes are them. Aside from very minimal wear that is showing, these shoes continue to look great and hold up well.
Rating :     
Work well for tennis
I have to say these arent the most comfortable to walk in and they are kind of flat but these do make awsome tennis shoes if you are an avid tennis player and dont like stomping around in heavy sneakers and prefer playing with traditional flat pedals these sneakers are great. Nice, lite and flat.

Customer Review :
WORST BALL EVER
This ball is a complete disgrace. I am like the third best goalkeeper in England and I can't even stop this thing. A buddy of mine kicked a slow roller to me and I completely muffed it in front of billions of people. Now people in my country will never forgive me for this. And it wasn't even my fault! IT WAS THE BALL!!! It dipped and swerved and I could only get my fingertips on it. I hate this ball. Now James will be the goalkeeper for England but I bet he can't stop this thing either. It's like impossible.

Great gift for young, exceptionally talented soccer player
What do you get the kid who has lots? If he's a great soccer player, this ball. He loved it, which made me happy.
Rating :    
Not a great ball but certainly not worth whining about!
I am like one of the top 500,000 goalkeepers in the U.S. and I bought this ball for the novelty of it. I didn't like it for use in drills or game play as it was not the truest ball I have ever played with but I never had any problems STOPPING it when rolling to me; like with any other ball I just kept my body in front of it and used sound fundamentals to pick it up and secure it...I did this several hundred times routinely. What I did not like was the movement at higher velocities coming at me. I am sure handed and will usually catch while others block or punch and I found myself having to block and punch more.
In reality while I returned the ball to the store after a month I should thank this ball because if anything it helped sharpen me up since I had to react to its sometimes unpredictable aerial movement. After all the keeper position requires sound fundamentals and quick reactions so it helped this 40 year old rusty coach and rec. league player step up my game after not playing for several years.
I would not recommend this ball for match play...it is too expensive and actually favors the goalkeepers because it is harder to kick on target for field players.
If you want a novelty to display or simply remember the many magical moments of the 2010 World Cup I would buy the less expensive "adidas World Cup 2010 Repliqué Soccer Ball" from Amazon for around $25.00 but if you want the real thing and can afford it I would check out World Soccer Club, they have a link for "FIFA WORLD CUP BALLS" where you can find the replica of the match most memorable to you. Every match has the official ball with the two teams playing stamped on them used for the match and you can buy the real deal; so it looks just like this ball but has "England" and "USA" printed on it for the US v. England match, for example (hope that made sense, could have been better written).
Nice design, sleek look and interesting topic of conversation. I would be surprised if the previous reviewer is who he claims to be but I guess with so many professionals over dramatizing the sport I shouldn't be. Soccer/Football is a great game but when a player blames the ball that is just sad! I felt bad for the keeper when I saw the fundamental error in the first match that went for a goal...I did this a couple times before I turned 10 and it was hard to watch but I stood by the keeper and expected him to bounce back. But, after reading the review I have to say I don't feel bad for him anymore as the review was just a long whine about the ball, the ball, the ball. It is never the balls fault, get over it or you'll never improve your game.
Rating :   
I like it a lot
I am a bit older than David Beckham and I play 2-3 rec games a week with players ranging from 17-55 years old. I spend about 50% of my time in goal, and the other 50% is split between midfield and forward.
I bought one of these about 6 weeks before the world cup so that my friends and I could play with it and see what it was like. The reviews have been mixed. It is within a few grams of the maximum FIFA approved weight, yet people regularly comment that it seems light when they first handle it. I don't find it so, but it did take a few kicks to get used to how it plays for long balls and corner kicks. I'd call it a little (not a lot) bouncy.
As a field player, I love the way it plays on the ground. It gives great control for dribbling and moving downfield. I also like the way it shoots. Perhaps if I was a more precise shooter, I'd feel differently, but I am happy to hit the quarter of the goal I am aiming for, and I can do that as well with this ball as with most others. I like shooting this ball.
As a goalie, I am not as enthralled. The ball seems to knuckle off a striker's foot very easily, giving it that no-spin, slightly unpredictable flight path. When I can get a glove on it, the grip is great.
Overall, I like it a lot. Most of the people I play with agree, but definitely not all of them.
Rating :    
LOVE IT
Any other ball became so easy to play with after playing with the Jabulani. It helped improving my skills because the ball requires you to improve them.

Questions & Answers
Question : Why am I bad at team sports but good at independent sports?
I'm not that great in gym class and other sports that involve a team... but I do terrific in snowboarding, rock climbing, and other sports that involve no team mates!
Answer:
You're an independent type and prefer to do things for yourself. You are goal oriented, know where you're going, and may not have patience to wait around for other people to do things. You can accomplish things faster on your own.

Question : For parents of childern in team sports if they get grounded does that include the sport?
I never did any team sports or any sport for that matter other than maritial arts so I don't know what parents do. If I got grounded still took my classes and I think mainly becuase they had to pay monthly for that and there was no rembursement if I missed class.
Answer:
No, his punishment never includes his sports activities. First of all this is something we pay for him to be in. Second, his entire team is counting on him not only for games, but for practice for games. And lastly I was told we shouldn't punish them with sports because it's supposed to be a positive thing, and we keep taking it away from them, they'll eventually not want to play. And I've read that kids that play sports are more successful in life.

Question : How do I make a 10 team sports schedule consisting of 13 games for each team?
I am making a sports schedule for ten teams split into two five team divisions. Each team will play 13 games. Each team will play each other once and then the teams in division 1 will play each other again for a total of 13 games. The same for the teams in division 2. Any help?
Answer:
Assign each team a number (1-5) from your divisions. Team 1 division 1 vs team 1 division 2. You could also start inner division play 1st, play other division 2nd, then finish up with your inner division play. Ihope this makes sense. Good luck!
|
Question : Are odd sports counted the same as team sports by universities?
I dont partake in team sports but i fly, SCUBA dive, kayak, ski, hike/backpack, and do conditioning. Will universities look at these as highly as being in varsity sport teams?
Answer:
Some universities will look at it as better than varsity sports in their search for diversity./

Question : How has playing team sports benefited your life?
I'm looking for physical benefits and social benefits. What would your life be like if you haven't played team sports? What have you learned from playing team sports? How has it helped you socially? Interact with others? ANYTHING!Please tell me what sport you've played. It doesn't have to be for a school team, it could just be for fun with your friends and whatnot. But please tell me what sport you've played and at what level (casual, school, competitve league, etc.)
Answer:
I have played soccer, tennis and wrestling in high school . I didn't help me socially, I only got to know the people on the team but not become friends with them. didn't like them much because they were too into the sport and always got pissed when they lost. I was a beginner when I joined and joined it for fun.

Question : Who would be your choice for the greatest player ever in team sports?
I know it's hard to compare different sports, but there are players who stand out as being the greatest in their sport: Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols, Walter Payton, Ichiro Suzuki, Kevin Youkilis all come to mind. Who would you pick as the greatest of them all in the category of team sports?
Answer:
the most dominate athlete ever. jack bionda box lacrosse. his obituary proved this. 2 cities were shut down day of services. simply the best. no argument. just fact.
|
Question : Should team sports be a part of the olympics?
My opinion is that team sports are not suitable because the Olympic ideal is about the pursuit of individual excellence. In a team, weaker players still win gold because they are carried by a true champion.All doubles, synchronised diving, team events etc should go in my view. Lets keep it track and field - The fastest and strongest men and women on Earth.Anyone agree?
Answer:
sorry I like a lot of the team events
|
Question : Do you think gym classes should stress individual fitness over team sports?
I remember when I was a kid being the unpopular kid that nobody ever wanted on their team, and I've known many people that have been turned off exercise entirely by school gym classes. I eventually came to enjoy exercise after I spent a summer working a very physically demanding job, but alot of people don't. Team sports seem to favour the naturally athletic and popular kids. Would it promote lifelong fitness more if things like aerobics and weight training were emphasized over team sports?I wasn't fat either, I was a very average sized kid
Answer:
yes they should. But god almighty- I don't think they will ever give up team sports. So the most you can hope for is that they have both.

Question : What to do when a father refuses to allow child to participate in team sports during his parenting time?
Daughter is 9 and on a team. Father has alternating weekend parenting time. He refuses to take child to practices during his time. The child is going to be kicked off the team because you can't do team sports on alternating weekends.
Answer:
The father sounds like a jerk but when he has custody of the child, he is in charge. Or you could call a lawyer and pay for guidance.
|
Question : How do I get better at team sports?
I'm really bad at team sports. Half the time I'm thinking, "What do I do?," or "Should I do this?", but by the time I come up with an answer (and I usually don't) the opportunity is gone.I don't get to participative.Help? How can I get myself to get more involved?
Answer:
what sport are we talking about? take out ego...think pass instead of shot or if softball/baseball bunt...if your teammates see you trying they will respect you more and want to play with you
