Best Swimming Pool Basketball & Volleyball of 2026

"The GoSports Splash Hoop has truly become a must-have at every pool party for us. I was blown away by the sturdy construction and how it easily handles sun and chlorine. Setup was a breeze and it keeps both kids and adults entertained for hours. If you want to add a fun and active element to your pool, this is the way to go."

"Honestly, I was surprised by how much we use this hoop. Assembly was so easy even my 12-year-old did it alone! The set is solid, stays in place, and the included basketballs are just right for pool games. It's become a staple for our pool time and I definitely recommend it for families."

"I can't believe how much excitement this hoop brings to our pool. The balls seem almost magical—they somehow always make it into the net (or the neighbor’s yard). The hoop has survived cannonballs, splashing, and even some rough play. Best of all, it comes with its own pump, which was a nice touch. Endless fun and competition for everyone!"

"I found this inflatable volleyball net to be a blast at our pool party and surprisingly easy to set up. Though the instructions were almost impossible to read, I just followed the box picture and had it ready in minutes. Once weighted down, it stayed in place and everyone had a great time. It's a budget-friendly way to add fun to any pool gathering."

"After using this net a couple of times at big gatherings, I can say it keeps the party lively without taking up the whole pool—even in my large pool, there was still space for non-players. I did have to improvise with the anchor bags, but once I got it figured out, it stayed centered and worked well the whole time. Great value and no issues with deflation so far!"

"I honestly thought this would be cheesy, but it ended up being a hit with my kids all summer. It was easy to toss in and out of the pool, and for the price, I'm happy—even bought another one for a friend. The net eventually wore out after a season in the sun, but for the cost, it was worth it for the fun we had."

"We've had so much fun at our pool parties with this set! The ball is just the right weight for safe play, and everyone—from kids to adults—had a blast. My only issue was that after being stored, the net got damaged from sun and chlorine exposure, but the rest of the set held up great."

"The volleyball and basketball combo is perfect for our family. Setting it up was a breeze, and the bright colors make it easy to spot in the pool. The material feels like it will last, and the kids love having both game options available."

"This pool float set has completely transformed our pool days. It’s easy to inflate, the net and hoop stay upright, and the included balls mean you can get started right away. It’s big enough for everyone to join in, and has really held up to lots of play."

"I had such a blast using this last summer! It was a huge hit with both adults and kids at my apartment complex. The adults made it into a drinking game, while the kids enjoyed the ring toss and shooting octopus goals. The quality impressed me, especially since it survived some serious dunks by the bigger kids!"

"My granddaughter absolutely loves this toy—she’s spent countless hours playing with it at the pool. It’s versatile, easy to inflate, and has proven to be a great value. I’ve seen kids of all ages enjoy playing with it every time we go swimming."

"I bought this for a family reunion and it was a hit with the kids! They had fun with every part of the water toy and even wore it on their heads after the games. I’d highly recommend it—it’s fun and well made!"

"I've found this pool basketball to be extremely sturdy and it was very easy to inflate. Even after a whole summer of teen boys playing nightly in the pool, it held up great—even surviving a few encounters with my ball-obsessed dog!"

"This ball is a perfect fit for our pool hoop, and I was impressed that it doesn't deflate easily. The quality stands out compared to cheaper alternatives I’ve seen elsewhere."

"At first, I was happy with the ball as it worked well and held air, but after about a month of regular use, I noticed some cracking on the surface. It still works, but the cracks have spread a bit."

"I found the inflatable net super easy to set up—my husband used a handheld leaf blower and it was ready in under a minute. It held its shape all summer with only one top-off needed, and people of all ages had a blast playing. I liked the plastic hooks for securing it with bungee cords. The included ball is a bit firm, but you can always use a beach ball. Great value and so much fun, I’m even ordering a backup!"

"This is the best blow-up volleyball net I’ve tried—it’s larger, sturdier, and better built than others I’ve owned."

"My family used this all summer, and the volleyball was perfect for play—much better than a beach ball on windy days. Ours did lose a little air daily, but the included pump and needle made it easy to refill. We love it!"

"I’ve been using this inflatable hoop for pool parties, and it’s become the highlight for my family and friends. It came with a basketball, so we started playing right away. What really stands out is how sturdy and durable the material is compared to other pool hoops I’ve tried. The large valves make it a breeze to inflate and deflate, so it’s super easy to bring along to other pools. I also appreciate the satisfaction guarantee. Anchoring it with a small weight helped keep it stable on windy days, making our games even more fun."

"This toy is a hit with my kids, especially for dunking and shooting in the pool! It comes with its own basketball, and even though it takes a bit of effort to inflate, it’s awesome once set up. The vinyl is thick and durable, and we play with it every weekend. I did have to get a better inflator, but it’s totally worth it for the fun we have. Anchoring it helps it last longer. The included basketball is tough, just a bit smaller than normal."

"We got this for lake trips, and our kids love taking it out and playing for hours. The seams and material held up well, with no leaks after several days. Using an air compressor made inflating it easy, and it was just as simple to deflate and store away. It’s a great addition for family fun!"

"I absolutely love using this basketball hoop in the pool—it’s so easy to set up and take down, making it a breeze to bring anywhere. It’s been a hit at every pool gathering, and I can’t recommend it enough!"

"We brought this hoop on vacation, and I was amazed by how well it held up with three rough teenage boys playing all week. Even after using the ball for baseball and tossing it around the hotel room, the ball stayed fully inflated the whole time. I’d definitely buy it again for the entertainment value alone!"

"This hoop is a perfect fit for my above-ground pool and doesn’t take up much space. It’s affordable, easy to transport, and always a crowd-pleaser, whether we’re at home or at a hotel pool. The only thing I’d change is using a heavier ball for more range, but overall, it’s a fantastic buy!"

"I loved how quick and easy it was to assemble this pool toy. My boys had a blast with it all summer, even with their rough play! The ring toss was a great bonus, offering multiple ways to enjoy the game. The only minor issue was that the balls seemed a little thin, but overall, it was well worth the money."

"This product turned out to be a big hit with kids of all ages. It held up to some tough play and was super simple to put together. For the price, I think it's a great deal and I would definitely recommend it."

"I appreciated that the assembly was fast and straightforward. However, I did find that the net deteriorated pretty quickly after some time in the sun and water. Luckily, I was able to replace it for around $8, so it wasn't a big hassle."

"I set this up for a family party, and the kids had a blast! We did need to add a bit of extra string to span the pool, but overall, it was a great addition. I'd definitely consider getting another one."

"I used this volleyball set in my 24 ft by 12 ft pool and it fit just right in the middle. By weighing it down with rocks, it stayed in place and we've enjoyed lots of games. It keeps air really well—no need to re-inflate after the first time. I’m really happy with the value and fun it’s brought."

"The colorful design and perfectly sized ball made this a huge hit for all ages in our pool. When tied down on the sides, it remained stable and full, making our games much more fun."
