Developing the Right Sports Hall Sports Data Sheets Basketball Introduction The following sports data sheets are for use in conjunction with Sport England’s ‘Developing the Right Sports Hall’ (DRSH) main document. They relate to Step 5 ‘Establishing the Project Brief’ and identify the needs of the priority sport and the key secondary sports. These sheets show the requirements for Basketball as the ’Priority Sport’ at various levels of play and other ‘Secondary Sports’ that can fit into the same overall space. Netball cannot be accommodated in a standard length basketball hall and therefore netball criteria has not been included within these sheets.
