A movable elevator assembly for adjusting the height of a basketball goal is provided herein. The elevator assembly includes a first strut and a second strut. A locking assembly is attached to the second strut and is movable along the fixed first strut. The locking assembly includes a lock, such as a spring that grips the lower strut in a rest position and can be activate to release the first strut. By moving the lock up or down the fixed strut, the height of the basketball goal can be moved up or down. This allows a user to select any desired height for the basketball goal.
