A mobile or permanently fixed basketball goal system wherein the backboard and hoop can be adjusted to a desired height by a user. The goal has a vertical support member having a base end, a backboard end and an intermediate portion, and a backboard including a hoop. Crossmembers pivotally connect the backboard to the vertical support member on one side of the backboard end, to form an adjustable parallelogram. At least one of the crossmembers extends beyond the vertical support member to an extension end. A clamp is mounted on a brace for the vertical support member or directly on the vertical support member. The clamp is fixedly adjustable within a continuous range and connects with the counterbalanced extension end via an extension member. When the clamp is moved, it acts to rotate the extending crossmember to raise or lower the backboard and hoop.
