Level Up Your Playground: Why the Action Play Systems Tripleshoot is the Ultimate "Everyone-Wins" Game
If you’ve ever visited a playground and seen a crowd of kids huddled around a colorful, three-pronged funnel, you’ve witnessed the magic of the Action Play Systems Tripleshoot Basketball Funnel Ball Game.
While traditional basketball hoops are a classic staple, the Tripleshoot is rapidly becoming the go-to choice for schools, parks, and daycare centers. But what exactly makes this "funnel ball" system a must-have, and is it actually better than a standard basketball hoop?
Let’s break down the play-by-play.
Featured Spotlight: The Kingdom Playground Edition
At Kingdom Playground, we believe equipment should be as vibrant as the kids playing on it. That’s why we feature the Tripleshoot in a striking Orange and Green color scheme.
This high-visibility palette isn't just for looks, it helps children with visual processing easily identify the targets and adds a modern, energetic "pop" to any park landscape. The forest green post blends seamlessly with outdoor environments, while the bright orange funnels practically invite kids to grab a ball and start playing.
What Makes the Tripleshoot Necessary?
Modern playgrounds are moving away from "one-size-fits-all" equipment. The Tripleshoot fills a vital gap by offering:
-
Inclusive Play: Unlike a high basketball rim that can frustrate younger or shorter children, the Tripleshoot features three funnels at varying angles. This means kids of different ages and abilities can play side-by-side.
-
Motor Skill Mastery: It’s a powerhouse for developmental growth. Aiming for the funnels hones hand-eye coordination, while the act of retrieving and tossing the ball builds gross motor strength.
-
Variety is the Spice of Play: Not every child wants to climb or swing. Adding a ball game provides a dynamic alternative that keeps the "play value" of your park high for longer periods.
Tripleshoot vs. Traditional Basketball: The Showdown
Is it better than a standard hoop? Not necessarily—it’s different. Here’s how they stack up:
How to Play: 3 Ways to Get Moving
The beauty of the Tripleshoot is its simplicity. There’s no "wrong" way to play, but here are three popular ways to get started:
-
The Point Sprint: Assign a point value to each of the three funnels (e.g., the highest orange funnel is 3 points, the side ones are 1). First one to 15 wins!
-
The "Pop-Out" Challenge: Because the ball can exit through different holes at the bottom, players have to guess where it will drop and try to catch it before it hits the ground.
-
Team Relay: Divide into two teams. Each player must successfully sink a basket before tagging the next teammate in line.
Built to Last
Beyond the fun, the Action Play Systems Tripleshoot is a favorite for facility managers because it’s durable and safe. Made with weather-resistant materials and heavy-duty plastic, it stands up to the elements and heavy daily use without the maintenance of a glass backboard or a fraying nylon net.
Bring the Tripleshoot to Your Community
Whether you’re looking to upgrade a schoolyard or add a new dimension to a local park, the Action Play Systems Tripleshoot is an investment in fitness, social skills, and most importantly, smiles.
