New Basketball England website launched in partnership with 93FT

In preparation for the upcoming campaign, we are relaunching our online home as we aim to provide the best possible service for our members and the sport as a whole. 

Sitting alongside our new membership and competitions platform PlayHQ, the new website has been designed and built in partnership with Sheffield-based branding and web-design agency 93FT. 

The site replaces the previous edition launched in 2018 and features a contemporary look, with improved functionality and security, and at its heart has a dedicated Resource Centre, housing all of Basketball England’s policies and guidance, plus internal and third-party resources for clubs and members. 

We have streamlined the site structure to get users to the information they need quicker and added an accessibility menu to make sure everyone can use the site in the way that best suits them. 

Refreshed, improved Court and Club Finders are also part of the package. 

To complement the website, BE has launched a new basketball app, HoopsHQ.  

This free product will deliver scores and live stats straight to your phone, along with fixtures, tables and more from the NBL and local leagues. 

Basketball England Marketing and Communications Director Anthony Jepson said: 

“Our ambition when relaunching the Basketball England website was to provide a fresh, contemporary platform to celebrate and profile basketball in this country, while also ensuring our clubs, volunteers and members had a secure, accessible, well-ordered environment to access the information they need. 

“We believe 93ft have done a great job in bringing all of that together.  

“We hope that the new website, along with the new PlayHQ membership and competition platform plus the new game-day app HoopsHQ, will work well together to give everyone in the basketball community a fantastic experience this season and beyond.”  

Nick Clark, Founder of 93FT, said: 

“Collaborating with Basketball England has been a dream project for everyone on the 93FT team.  

“We’ve designed and developed a website that not only delivers excellent functionality but also celebrates this incredible sport that means so much to so many people.  

“We’re thrilled to launch it and can’t wait for everyone to start using and enjoying it!”
