First Team Sentry™ Pickleball Post System

Sentry™ Pickleball Post System by First Team Available in PVC Sleeve and Hinged Socket versions Overview FT8100W Overview FT5001 Socket The First Pickleball Post That Converts to Tennis on the Spot The First Team Sentry™ Pickleball Post System is the first pickleball post designed to switch between pickleball and tennis on multi-use courts without swapping equipment. Pull the pin, telescope the top cap, and the post moves from 36" pickleball height to 42" tennis height in seconds. One system. Two sports. Zero compromises. Aluminum Construction That Works as Hard as Your Court Does Built from 3.5" OD schedule 40 high-tensile aluminum with a black powder coat finish, Sentry posts are light enough to remove and store with ease while holding up to the demands of daily multi-sport use. The heavy-duty worm gear driven winch tensions the net safely with no backdrive risk, and the quick detach removable crank handle keeps the post clean and hazard-free between sessions. A Net Built to Tennis Standards. Sized for Pickleball. Every Sentry package ships with a heavy-duty pickleball net manufactured from the same high-quality components used on First Team's tennis nets. Choose PKPS for standard PVC sleeves or PKSO for exclusive hinged-lid sockets that close completely flush when posts are removed, keeping multi-purpose court surfaces clean and safe. Key Features Pickleball-to-Tennis Conversion: A telescoping top cap with pull-pin adjustment switches net height from 36" pickleball to 42" tennis instantly, making this the only post built for true dual-sport courts. Schedule 40 High-Tensile Aluminum Posts: 3.5" OD heavy-duty aluminum with a black powder coat finish is rigid under tension, corrosion-resistant, and easy to remove and store. No-Backdrive Worm Gear Winch: The worm gear driven winch delivers safe, secure net tension with no kickback risk during operation. Quick Detach Crank Handle: The removable crank handle pulls off cleanly after tensioning, keeping the post profile safe and unobstructed during play. Heavy-Duty Pickleball Net Included: Every package ships with a heavy-duty pickleball net with vinyl coated cable, built to the same material standards as First Team's tennis nets. Two Installation Options: Choose PVC sleeves (PKPS) for a standard install or hinged-lid sockets (PKSO) for a flush, multi-purpose court surface. Flush Surface on Multi-Purpose Courts: PKSO hinged-lid sockets close level with the court when posts are out, so basketball, volleyball, or any other sport can continue without obstruction. Adjustable Post Collar: The built-in adjustable collar lets you fine-tune post positioning quickly without additional tools.
