Little Champ Arm Adapter Kit (LC-AKIT) for 48” Backboards
The LC-AKIT is the add-on that makes the Little Champ youth rim-lowering system fit certain gym setups that use 48-inch tall backboards. If your facility has a standard 10-foot basketball rim system already installed and you’re lowering the rim for youth players, this kit ensures the adapter locks in correctly — secure, stable, and consistent.
- Only needed for 48” backboards
- For one Little Champ unit
- Extends rear support arm reach
- Indoor gym installations
If your backboard is 42”, you typically do not need this kit.
Fit Check: Do You Actually Need LC-AKIT?
Buy LC-AKIT if…
- Your existing backboard is 48” tall
- You’re installing the Little Champ adapter and the rear arm needs more reach
- You want the adapter to lock in properly and remain stable during youth play
Skip LC-AKIT if…
- Your backboard is 42” (typical school setup)
- You’re buying the system for the first time and need the complete adapter
- You’re not sure what you have — in that case, start with the LC-6 Package and confirm board size
What LC-AKIT Does (In Plain English)
Some gym installations place the backboard farther from the rim. On certain 48” backboard setups, the standard Little Champ rear arm doesn’t reach the correct mounting position. LC-AKIT replaces that standard arm and provides extended support arms so the adapter can install the way it was designed — stable, secure, and properly aligned.
Kit Coverage
- Designed for one Little Champ unit
- Replaces the standard rear arm extension
- Includes extended arms to cover deeper backboard offsets
If You’re Lowering 2 Hoops
Order the LC-6 Package (Pair). If both of your hoops use 48” backboards, you’ll typically need one LC-AKIT per unit (2 total). If only one hoop is 48”, you only need 1 kit.
Complete System vs Add-On Components
The Little Champ system is a youth basketball rim-lowering solution for facilities that already have regulation 10-foot basketball hoops installed indoors. LC-AKIT is an add-on used only for certain 48” backboard setups. If you’re starting from scratch, begin with the full system.
LC-6 Package (Pair) — Lower 2 Hoops
