The ACON Trampoline Basketball Hoop is the latest and greatest when it comes to trampoline accessories. Coming in two versions, the hoop is suitable for our round and rectangular models. Learn more about the installing mechanism and benefits on this article.
If you love basketball and you love trampolining, it’s time to combine the two and start improving your basketball skills. Spice up your bouncing routine using a trampoline with basketball hoop in a completely safe way. We all know that bouncing is a highly effective, all-around cardio workout with many other benefits. But when you add the hoop, it's all about having fun. Let’s find out why.
Attaching to the ACON trampoline
In the past, if you wanted to practice your basketball skills at the same time as bouncing, you’d drag a freestanding basketball hoop and backboard over to the side of the trampoline and start practicing. But it was soon discovered that not only was this not secure or safe as the hoop would tip over, but it also didn’t do the job either.
ACON’s new trampoline basketball hoop is a different matter altogether; it is extremely easy to install using a uniquely designed HD EasyInsta mechanism. The ACON HD crosspiece is used for rectangular trampolines. For round trampolines, the hoop attaches to the safety enclosure pole for stability and improved positioning. It can be secured to either a round or rectangular trampoline while backboard on the rectangular bouncers is fitted via a new lifting pole system.
With a flexible RealSafe Rim, the hoop is designed to flex to give you that rebound feel. Added cushioning and a no-pinch, no-finger access design makes it safe to play. The lightweight materials, which are highly durable for all-year-round use, ensure hours of endless fun and games. ACON has also included a ball for you to use, too.
As well as the benefits of bouncing, there are several additional benefits to adding a basketball hoop for your trampoline:
Four reasons for getting a trampoline basketball hoop
- Ups your balance and coordination – bouncing improves your balance but adding shooting practices with jumping significantly boosts your balance and helps your hand, eye and leg coordination.
- Improves your skills – even if you weren’t a big fan of basketball before you started, you will be by the time you’ve mastered bouncing at the same time as shooting the basketball. It is a great way to practice your skills, improving your shooting drills accuracy ten-fold. It’s also having a low impact on your joints as you are no longer landing on a hard court or ground.
- Motivational – if you needed an extra reason to get out there, or you needed a good reason for getting your kids off the couch and outside exercising, adding a hoop to your trampoline is all the excuse you’ll need. It’s a great way to get fit and stay healthy, and even better when you bounce and practice your ball skills with the family. Why challenge each other to see who can jump the highest and throw the ball in the basket at the same time.
- Boosts fun time – so, you’ve mastered all your tricks; but with a basketball hoop for trampoline and a few friends or family, it adds a whole new layer of excitement. Try a classic like HORSE or invent your own trampoline basketball game and challenge others with style shots and aerial moves.
Unique trampoline games to play with the hoop
It is time to put the hoop to the real test once you’ve mastered the basic throws and tricks. While the possibilities are nearly endless, here are three games you can start with.
One-player games
While practising the basic shot types is fun on its own, adding a fun element gives that extra motivation we all sometimes need. After all, it doesn’t hurt to challenge oneself to push beyond your limits occasionally! Games that develop technique and accuracy are perfect for solo games. For instance, you may:
- Find photos and videos online about basketball shots and other techniques
- Score the skills based on their difficulty
- Set yourself a goal of minimum points and aim for the score
Have fun experimenting with the hoop and see how many shots you can make in a row!

Have you tried SlamBall?
Based on basketball, ice hockey and American football, SlamBall is played on trampolines, four to be precise. Invented by Mason Gordon and first played in Los Angeles, four trampolines are positioned at each end of a court on a spring floor and surrounded by a Plexiglass wall for safety, much like an ice hockey rink. The bouncers give players extra height, and they must combine jumping and basketballs at the same time.
Designed in Finland with invaluable input from a team of basketball enthusiasts, children and young adults, parents and ACON’s bounce and safety experts – it’s approved by kids and parents – you can rest assured that the ACON trampoline basketball hoop will bring plenty of laughs as well as improve your basic basketball skills such as dribbling, shooting and rebounding. Spend time with your kids and enjoy family fun activities!
Selecting the Right Basketball Hoop for Your Needs
Not all trampoline basketball hoops are created equal, so it’s worth taking a moment to consider what matters most for your setup. First, check that the hoop is compatible with your trampoline model. ACON’s basketball hoops are built to fit ACON trampolines securely, whether you have a round or rectangular shape.
Safety is another key factor. Look for hoops that are stable and have flexible rims or padded edges to reduce the chance of injury. You’ll also want to think about who will be using the hoop—kids, teens, or adults—and choose a design that suits their needs and style of play.
Other small details, like how easy the hoop is to install, how well it holds up in different weather conditions, and whether it comes with a reliable warranty, can make a big difference in long-term satisfaction. Taking these aspects into account will help you find a hoop that makes every bounce more exciting.
Trampoline Basketball Hoop FAQs
Is the ACON Trampoline Basketball Hoop compatible with all trampoline brands?
The ACON Trampoline Basketball Hoop is designed specifically for ACON trampolines, both round and rectangular models. Its unique HD EasyInsta mechanism ensures a secure and stable fit with ACON enclosures. While it may not be compatible with other brands, using it with ACON guarantees the best performance and safety.
Can the ACON Trampoline Basketball Hoop be used outdoors during all seasons?
Yes, the hoop is built with durable, weather-resistant materials designed for year-round outdoor use. However, we recommend storing the ball indoors and occasionally checking the attachment points during winter or extreme weather conditions to keep everything in top shape.
How do I properly maintain my ACON Trampoline Basketball Hoop for long-lasting use?
To maintain your hoop, regularly inspect the mounting hardware and backboard for any signs of wear. Wipe down the hoop and padding with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
