My goal has been set at 10’ for a few years. We have a new granddaughter that would like it lower. Can it safely be lowered?

The fixed-height Hercules basketball systems can be set at any height you want. So, the answer to your question is yes. You'll want to get a scissor lift or scaffolding the lower the backboard, rim and extension arm down on the main pole to your desired height.
