Basketball Cages and Carts, and Sketch Clipboards
Jan 9, 2013 11:57:00 AM
Keep your equipment organized and mobile
Generations back, teams would throw all their basketballs into duffle bags and canvas sacks, but now we have the professional look and ease of cages and carts that make storage and transporting dozens of basketballs easy. 
The 35 ball capacity ball cage from Porter Athletic (93710) is made with a steel frame and has casters that swivel, making it easy for anyone to move from storage to the court. The lid locks to keep basketballs secure when you want to keep them contained.
We also carry heavy-duty ball carts that come in 15 and 30 ball capacity (single cart-93700, double cart-93701). These carts also have steel frames with swivel casters for easy transportation and storage. Are you getting ready for the basketball tournaments? Pick up a cart for each end of the court and add to the professionalism of your facility. At the same time, make life a little easier for your equipment managers.
Don't forget the sketch clipboards for the coach (3771). You always have to be ready to draw up the game winning play with five seconds left on the clock. Call us today with your questions and for details on pricing (502) 241-6010.

Scoreboards 101: Which one is Right for Your School?
Oct 19, 2012 2:31:00 PM
Has that score flip chart seen its better days on the court? Does the crowd have to twist their neck backwards or squint under a net to see the score on each possession? If so, it’s probably time to check into a new scoreboard. If your school has been contemplating a purchase of a new scoreboard, there are varieties you should examine before making a choice.
Tabletop scoreboards
This style of scoreboard is perfect for elementary school games in which minimal information is needed for display. This type of scoreboard can be displayed for scoring and timing of an athletic event, then put away and stored. It can be transported from game to game or stored away safely after each game. This is the most economical option for schools with basic sporting events for smaller children.
Wall-mounted scoreboards
This type of scoreboard will become a permanent focal point in your gym and will completely revolutionize crowd involvement as they fully engage in seeing the score change and knowing game statistics. The start up cost of wiring this scoreboard is a bit more, but will pull a crowd together at sporting events.
Multi-sport scoreboards
These types of boards are helpful in upper grades or high school when playing various sports such as soccer, basketball, hockey, and volleyball. The time, score, game period, player, and team fouls can all be displayed in one place. Great advancements have been made in these scoreboards, which generally use LED (light emitting diode) technology and sometimes even wireless capabilities. More recently, scoreboards have been designed to be more user-friendly so that students can operate them with ease. If your school is hoping to create an all around virtual experience, scoreboards can also be used with computer software to create a “big league” effect through video display and a movie type atmosphere.
Another important factor to consider when looking for a new scoreboard is choosing the right size scoreboard based on your gym or field's size. Not only can Toadvine Enterprises help you find the perfect scoreboard your facility based on your school's budget, we can also help you choose the correct size. Contact us to learn more.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Team at Toadvine
Nov 23, 2011 2:52:00 PM
Thanksgiving is a busy time in our markets. High school, middle school, and college athletics couldn’t be at a busier time. The two largest sports are overlapping for a bit as they do every year. So when it comes to athletic equipment, scoreboards, and athletic seating, things are hopping. For the other markets we serve like auditorium or church seating, it can be a busy time as well. With things moving indoors, churches and theaters are preparing for busy times.
With all this increased activity, we think it’s a perfect time to step back and celebrate Thanksgiving.
It’s time to watch rivalry week in football, or to watch your favorite college basketball teams kick off the year. It’s time to watch pro football move toward playoff time. It’s time to support your high school basketball teams, or continue spurring on your football team if they made the playoffs. It’s a time to enjoy a large meal with family and friends. It’s a time to relax and rest. It’s a time to get a jump on Christmas shopping or to even put up the tree.
During all this time, take a moment or two and reflect on all you have to be thankful for. Let’s call it a grateful list. We’ll start by saying we’re thankful for you, our community that chooses us for all your athletic equipment, scoreboards, and seating needs.
From all of us at Toadvine Entreprises, Happy Thanksgiving!

Porter's Powr-Rib II Volleyball System
Sep 27, 2011 2:38:00 PM
For those of you looking for a new volleyball system, Porter’s Powr-Rib II Volleyball system is the ultimate indoor system. This system is designed for its strength and ease of set up, and the best part is, it comes at a competitive price. This system has all of the features you need to play competition volleyball, including:
- Revolutionary design. The Powr-Rib II gets its name from its design. The volleyball end standards are constructed of high strength, lightweight aluminum extrusion which reduces the weight of the system incredibly. This allows for the ease of installation by the end user. Two reinforcing ribs are centered throughout the entire length of the uprights to increase strength and durability. The top and bottoms of the up rights are fitted with custom molded caps to protect the finish of the floor.
- Quick-release tension straps. This helps to keep the cable from fraying and kinking, by not having to wrap around the winch drum. The functional, multi-sport use and the sliding collar allow for this system to be used in all men’s, women’s, and junior USVBA competition-height settings. This system can go further with its ability to also be converted into a tennis net system.
- Height adjustment lock and net height markings. Collar instantly locks into place using a pressure lock T-handle which provides a positive locking feature at any height on the upright. The Powr-Winch net tension system is a positive disc brake release device which provides the most durable, safe, and simple net attachment system available.
Call Toadvine Enterprises today at 502.241.6010 to find out more about our athletic equipment and pricing on the Powr-Rib II Volleyball System!
