These are the Five Best Basketball Storage Racks
Hustle’s Top Picks for Any Situation
Having the right gear helps get your team in the right mindset for a successful basketball season. During effective practices, coaches should have enough basketballs for every member of the team to have an effective warm-up shoot around session. Without the right rack, basketballs end up getting lost under the bleachers or forgotten during an away game session. Besides keeping track of balls, the right rack is also essential for some rapid fire shooting drills — think about the 3-point shooting contest at every NBA All-Star Game!
Here at Hustle, we’re not just looking to teach you the best basketball drills to take your team to the next level. We also want to make sure you have the right gear to get your team in playing shape. Here are five of the best basketball storage racks available on the market today.
This rack is as traditional as it gets and comes at a great price. This is the same design that has worked since your coach played high school basketball. The best part is that it takes less than 15 minutes to assemble and has a very sturdy feel. Even if you’re not coaching a basketball team, this is a rack that can help you organize all the balls that accumulate in a typical family garage. If you’re planning some heavy duty use over a long period of time, you might want to upgrade to one of the racks below.
2. Wilson Deluxe Basketball Ball Rack
For coaches and athletic directors that want a basketball rack with the highest quality that will last forever, you can’t go wrong with products from Wilson. This rack is made of chrome plated steel tubing and holds 16 balls. Even though this rack is a little bit taller than some others on the market, it’s just as sturdy. Of course, Wilson has some great basketballs for any age / skill level, so pick up a few of them while you’re at it!
3. Trigon Sports Procage HD Secure Ball Locker
When you don’t have an equipment closet that locks everything in, this ball locker is your next best option. This full size heavy-duty secure locker is made out of powder-coated steel tubing and holds up to 30 basketballs. There is no lock built in to the locker, but it’s set up for you to add your own pad lock. The casters with heavy-duty 4 inch wheels protect the gym floor from any scuff marks or dents. I’ve seen these lockers in use by PE teachers as well as basketball coaches.
4. Baden Steel Basketball Rack (12-Balls)
Another option in the traditional 12 ball rack category is this beauty from Baden. You’ll love the sturdy steel tubing that can take a beating all season long. Leagues should pick up a few of these especially since they are the easiest that I’ve found to assemble and come at a great price. Baden also makes some great quality basketballs, so pick up a few (or a dozen to fill out your rack) while you’re at it!
5. BSN Double Monster Ball Cart
If you’re running a camp or larger league with multiple teams using basketballs, this is the rack for you. It’s a sturdy design, but the main benefit is that it holds a TON of basketballs — 30 balls in one rack. This one takes a little longer to put together, but it’s worth it if you need a monster of a rack to carry and keep track of a large number of basketballs.
As mentioned, these are five of the best basketball storage racks on the market today. Just figure out which one suits your needs and check them out.
