We are community focused and see first handedly the positive impact sports can have on the individual.
Non Elite basketball should too be considered as essential. It isn’t helpful to deprive adults from something that can positively support their Mental and Physical well-being during these unprecedented times.
Our network of organisations are trustworthy and our participants care about the well-being of others and themselves - together this can work; WE NEED OUR SPORT BACK.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Organised outdoor sports can take place in all tiers. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, for example including indoor sports, including basketball, in this rule.
If you do start a new petition, you'll need to use the name of an individual, rather than an organisation, before we can publish it.
