■■BASKETBALL No word on basketball’s return

By Adam Burns [email protected] Basketball Mid Canterbury (BBMC) facilities remain closed as it awaits further moves by the national organisation. However, the Government’s easing of Alert Level 2 mass gathering rules this week should clear the decks for basketball’s return. No announcements were made by Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ) yesterday and Basketball Mid Canterbury president Wayne Rogers could not be reached for comment. On Monday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced mass gatherings under Alert Level 2 could increase from 10 to 100 people. Uncertainty continued to face local competitions last week with timelines and court space cited as a factor by BBMC. Rodgers said the organisation was following the lead of BBNZ and the Government. “As basketball is classed as a contact sport,” he said. “This is still on hold so please continue to be patient. “In the meantime keep prac- tising at home with family and friends.” Last week, BBNZ expressed its intention to hold tournaments scheduled for later in the year including the Secondary Schools National Championships, the under-13 Regionals and the un- remains under consideration,” a bility, referee and volunteer avail- No decisions have been made as yet around when community der-15 and under-17 Nationals.
