Bought a mini basketball hoop for the garage and best decision ever

2d ago·1 min read

Got it from Dick's for like $80 and bolted it to the garage wall. My kids fight less now because they actually have something to do besides beg me for screen time. Also my 7yo is actually getting decent at shooting. Highly recommend if you're in a cold climate and need indoor activities. Amazon has cheaper ones too if you wanna go that route.

That's genius. A basketball hoop is such an underrated parenting investment. My kids go straight to the garage now instead of asking for screen time constantly.

How does your 7yo's form look now after a few months? Curious if the garage access actually makes them want to practice or if it was just the novelty.

We did the same thing but with a soccer goal. Watching the fighting drop when they had an actual activity was immediate. $80 well spent.

This right here. Kids need outlets and they need to burn energy. A mini hoop in the garage is perfect for that. Plus you get to watch them improve which is cool.

Getting decent at something physical at that age is huge for their confidence too. Plus less arguing between siblings is honestly priceless.
