The idea
We want to extend our space to add a sportshall where our community can participate in activity any time of the day, in a safe environment, surrounded by people who share a common interest. Basketball is increasingly popular as an outdoor sport, with it being normal to turn up at a court and join in with whoever is there. We have brought that social and accepting culture indoors with our café, court and basketball focussed gym to compliment it. This is the only venue of its kind in Yorkshire! Since opening we have been running lots of sessions, ages 5 to 70+ and would now love to enable those players to play refereed games, start mini-leagues, and enable bookings of the sportshall to other members of our communinty too.
The focus of this campaign is to fund a floor to enable us to start using this additional room.
What we'll deliver
- Level sportsfloor
- sports flooring
Why it's a great idea
This project will allow us to run more sessions and mini-leagues for those players who want to play more competitive basketball.
It will also provide a new sportshall for our local community open all day everyday - not just outside of school opening times, for other sporting activities and classes. (Such as yoga, badminton, netball, artial arts, dance classes etc)
Steps to get it done
- Clean and empty existing hall
- Prepare floor for screed ( roughen concrete with a scabbler)
