First Team Sentry™ Tennis Post System

Sentry™ Tennis Post System by First Team

Available in PVC Sleeve and Hinged Socket versions

Dedicated or Multi-Purpose. The Sentry Handles Both.

The First Team Sentry™ Tennis Post System is built from 3.5″ OD schedule 40 high-tensile aluminum with a black powder coat finish to stay straight and rigid through years of high-use court play. Whether your facility runs dedicated tennis courts or shared multi-sport surfaces, the Sentry is engineered to deliver proper net tension with zero bowing on the posts.

A Winch Designed With Player Safety First

The Sentry’s worm gear net tensioner winch eliminates the backdrive risk common on competitor winch designs, so there is no chance of handle kickback during tensioning. A quick detach handle removes cleanly when not in use, keeping the court surface safe and the post profile clean between matches.

Complete and Court-Ready Right Out of the Box

Every Sentry package includes a heavy-duty double top six net with vinyl coated cable, a center strap, and anchor. Choose TNPS for standard PVC sleeves or TNSO for exclusive hinged-lid sockets that close flush with the court surface on multi-purpose facilities. The TNSO package also includes a flush mount threaded anchor for a clean, level surface when posts are removed.
