A basketball goals system providing a high degree of portability is disclosed. The goal system has a pole, a base member, and an adjustable wheel assembly. The adjustable wheel assembly is attached to the base member and transitions a set of wheels in contact or out of contact with the playing surface. The wheels of the adjustable wheel assembly are placed in contact with the playing surface by pivoting a cam on the axle of the wheels. The cam pushes upward on a portion of the base member, such that the base member is supported on the wheels. Once the base member is supported on the wheels, it may be easily transported to the desired location. The cam may be operated by an adjustment member that is coupled to the cam, such as a lever.

A support for securing a stair module on a substrate comprising a flexible engagement between a support post and the underside of the stair module, wherein the support post is rotatable between a stored position and a deployed position, wherein the flexible engagement comprises a rigid fastener passing through the support post and a rigidizing channel, and wherein the top of the support post is adapted to deform to allow the support post to rotate about the rigid fastener from the stored position to the deployed position. 14. A support for securing a stair module on a substrate comprising a flexible engagement between a support post and the underside of the stair module, wherein the support post is rotatable between a stored position and a deployed position, wherein the flexible engagement comprises: a flexible bushing positioned in a hole Passing through the support post; and a rigid fastener passing through a hole in the flexible bushing and through walls of a rigidizing channel connected to the stair module, wherein the flexible bushing biases the support post into the rigidizing channel in the stored position. 15. A support for securing a stair module on a substrate comprising a flexible engagement between a support post and the underside of the stair module, wherein the support post is rotatable between a stored position and a deployed position, wherein the flexible engagement comprises a flexible insert received in an end of the support post, wherein the flexible insert is adapted to deform to allow the support post to rotate from the stored position to the deployed position. 16. The support of claim 15, further comprising a rigid fastener passing through walls of a rigidizing channel connected to the stair module, through a hole in the support post and through a hole in the flexible insert. 17. The support of claim 16, wherein the hole in the flexible insert is a slotted hole. 18. The support of claim 16, wherein the hole in the flexible insert is a round hole. 19. The support of claim 15, wherein a top surface of the flexible insert comprises at least one circular groove. 20. The support of claim 15, wherein a top surface of the flexible insert is solid. 21. A support for securing a stair module on a substrate comprising a support post and means for enabling rotation of the support post between a stored position and a deployed position, the means including a flexible engagement that at least partially deflects as the support post is rotated between the stored position and the deployed position, and biases the support post against the stair module in the deployed position. 4. An assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein each clip fitting is generally U-shaped body having two spaced opposing sides, one side thereof having the detent(s) formed thereon and the other side having a hook portion for engaging the frame member. 5. An assembly as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the clip fittings are formed integrally with the frame member. 6. An assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the flap is pressed out of the frame member in one direction, and the detent is an indent pressed out of the flap in the opposite direction. 7. An assembly as claimed in claim 1 or 6, further comprising at least one detent pressed out from the frame member, and located between two adjacent flaps. 8. An assembly for constructing a small metal building, including at least one post member having clip fittings at spaced locations thereon, each clip fitting having a resilient detent; and at least one wall panel member adapted to be mounted, in use, to the post member, the wall panel member having a rolled edge portion, whereby the rolled edge portion is insertable in the clip fitting in a snap-lock action such that the detent captively retains the rolled edge portion of the wall panel member in the clip fitting; wherein each clip fitting is a flap pressed out from the post member, and the detent is an indent pressed into the flap. 9. An assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein the post member has a pair of fixed detents located on respective opposite sides of each clip fitting, and wherein the wall panel member has a pair of spaced apertures adjacent the rolled edge portion, such that when the rolled edge portion is inserted into the clip fitting, the fixed detents locate respectively in the apertures and captively retain the wall panel member to the post member.
