Abstract: A retractable basketball goal and methods of use are described. Embodiments of the retractable goal are configured to alternately retract into a garage for storage and to extend out of the garage through a garage door opening for use. Embodiments typically include an anchor assembly, a goal assembly including a backboard and rim, and a support boom linking the anchor assembly to the goal assembly. The anchor assembly typically anchors the retractable goal in a garage, where the anchor assembly resides just inside a garage door opening proximate a garage parking space. The retractable basketball goal typically includes a retracted configuration wherein the retractable goal resides entirely within a garage with the backboard disposed substantially horizontally, and an operational configuration, wherein the goal assembly resides outside the garage, with the backboard disposed vertically.
