The adjustment assembly may include an arm that is connected to the structure connecting the basketball goal and the support structure. The arm may include a plurality of receiving portions, such as openings or slots, and an engaging member may be connected to the support structure. When the engaging portion is connected to a first receiving portion, the basketball goal may be disposed at a first height.

The adjustment assembly may also include a locking mechanism that is sized and configured to lock the arm and basketball goal in a desired position.
