Get Inspired: How to get involved in Basketball
More than 300,000 people are estimated to play basketball each month in the United Kingdom. All you need is a ball and hoop and there are thousands of outdoor courts across the country where you can play for free, so what are you waiting for?
The British Basketball League (BBL) season runs from September to April, where you can watch the best players and pick up tips, but basketball can be played indoors and outdoors, making it a sport for all seasons.

What are the BBL and the WBBL?
The BBL has been the pinnacle of men's basketball in Britain, since its initiation in 1987.
The WBBL was founded more recently in 2014, in an attempt to create a high-quality professional league for women.
The Leicester Riders are the current holders of the men's league, while Nottingham romped to victory in the women's competition last season.
You can watch reigning men's champions, the Riders, in action straight after the WBBL fixture between Northumbria and Caledonia.
