Pool Volleyball Nets & Basketball Hoops for Inground Swimming Pools

Turn your pool into the ultimate backyard activity center with pool volleyball nets, basketball hoops, and water games designed for inground pools. PST Pool Supplies stocks pool sport systems from International Leisure Products, Zodiac, Poolmaster, and CMP — covering everything from professional-grade in-deck basketball systems to casual floating volleyball sets, starting from just $14.

The Residential Challenge Basketball Game (BASK-CH) is an in-deck basketball system with a permanently mounted aluminum post and weighted backboard — delivering a true court-like shooting experience at poolside. The Single Post Basketball Frame Package (69-209-197) provides a simpler post-mounted hoop option. For versatile above-ground use, the Cool Jam Pro Poolside Basketball (9195) and Swim N Dunk Basketball Backboard (SPG-104) offer deck-placed and freestanding hoop options that require no deck anchoring. Volleyball Net & Needle (VBK-100) is a full-size pool volleyball net system for inground pools — the CMP Volleyball Flange and Flush Cap (25571-004-000) provides the clean in-deck socket hardware for a permanent net installation that recesses flush with the deck when not in use. The Family Fun Combo Set (9199) bundles multiple water games for families who want variety without multiple purchases. The Pool Joust Set (9084) and Turtle Eggs Dive Game (9177) round out the collection with competitive and underwater activity options. The AG Volleyball/Badminton Bracket Mount (72786) provides net attachment hardware for above-ground pool installations.

When selecting pool sport equipment, consider installation type: in-deck systems (volleyball flanges, basketball post anchors) require deck penetration during installation but provide the cleanest look and greatest stability; deck-mounted portable systems use weighted bases or deck clamps and can be repositioned; floating or freestanding systems require no installation at all. In-deck volleyball systems should be installed by a pool professional during initial pool construction or deck renovation — retrofitting anchor sockets into an existing concrete deck is possible but requires coring and patching. All metal pool sport equipment should be made from marine-grade stainless steel or coated aluminum to withstand chlorine and salt water exposure without corrosion.

Shop pool volleyball nets, basketball hoops, and water games — and keep everyone entertained in and around the pool all summer long.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install a volleyball net in my existing inground pool?
Yes — you have two options for adding a volleyball net to an existing inground pool. The in-deck anchor system (using CMP volleyball flanges) provides the cleanest permanent installation but requires drilling or coring the existing deck to install the anchor sleeves — typically a half-day job for a pool professional. The flanges recess flush with the deck when not in use, and the net posts pop in and lock into place when you want to play. The above-deck bracket or portable option (like the above-ground volleyball/badminton bracket mount) attaches to the pool coping or deck edge with clamps — no deck cutting required, but posts are not as stable as anchored systems. For a temporary or seasonal setup without any installation, a floating volleyball net set that spans the pool width without deck anchors is also available. Confirm your pool's width before ordering to ensure net post spacing is compatible.
Is the Residential Challenge Basketball Game permanently installed?
Yes — the Residential Challenge Basketball Game (BASK-CH) is a permanently installed in-deck system. The post anchors directly into the pool deck in a concrete sleeve, providing the stability needed for a regulation-feel shooting experience. The backboard and hoop assembly attach to the post and can typically be raised or lowered to adjust shooting height. Professional installation is recommended to ensure the anchor is correctly positioned and secured in the deck. The system is designed for inground pool use and is built from materials rated for continuous outdoor and pool chemical exposure. If you're not ready for a permanent installation, the Cool Jam Pro and deck-mounted freestanding options provide basketball play without deck penetration.
What pool games are best for younger children?
For younger children (ages 5–10), the best pool games from this collection are the Turtle Eggs Dive Game (9177) — colorful weighted dive toys that sink to the pool floor for underwater retrieval, building confidence and swimming skills — and the Family Fun Combo Set (9199), which typically bundles a variety of age-appropriate games including ring tosses, dive toys, and water balls. The Pool Joust Set (9084) works well for older children and adults who want competitive pool play. For toddlers and very young children, all pool games should only be used under direct adult supervision, and only in pool areas where the water depth is appropriate for the child's swimming ability. Soft foam balls and inflatable game sets are better suited to very young children than hard plastic or metal components.
What material should pool sport equipment be made from?
All pool sport equipment in contact with or near pool water should be made from marine-grade stainless steel (316 grade), coated aluminum, HDPE (high-density polyethylene) plastic, or UV-stabilized polycarbonate. Standard 304 stainless steel performs adequately in freshwater pools but may show surface rust in saltwater pools — 316 marine-grade stainless is preferable for salt pool installations. Avoid standard mild steel or chrome-plated hardware near pool water — these corrode rapidly and can stain pool surfaces and walls. Aluminum components should be anodized or powder-coated to resist the corrosive effect of pool chemicals. Check for any sharp edges or exposed metal fasteners before allowing children to use pool game equipment, and inspect all hardware annually for corrosion, cracks, or structural compromise.
