English Basketball Association
Homepage: http://www.basketballengland.org.uk/
Since 1996,
the English Basketball Association has been implementing
the Outdoor Basketball Initiative (OBI), as part
of its thrust to increase accessibility to basketball
facilities, thereby involving more people from
all walks of life in the sport. To date, OBI has
reached out to 352 local communities throughout
England by installing 9,150 outdoor basketball
goals and giving out 27,000 basketballs. This
was made possible through generous support from
donors, especially from the then English Sports
Council Lottery Sports Fund which awarded a £10
million grant to the English Basketball Association.
With these, the association aims to further its
aim of introducing more young people to basketball
and provide opportunities for them to develop
and progress within the sport.
