BUILD outdoor BASKETBALL courts in each AUSTRALIAN City!

To:  Melbourne City Council, Sydney City Council, Brisbane City Council, Perth City Council, Adelaide City Council, Hobart City Council, Queanbeyan City Council (ACT) and Darwin City Council

Across Australia, hundreds and thousands of basketball players, millions of youths, are looking for somewhere outside to get active and be a part of. Whether the options are positive or negative, kids and players don't have enough choices... that's the bottom-line.

Don't say they do, cause they don't. Ask us. Ask them. Ask any kid on the street where they go and what they like to do. It usually isn't too positive, or usually you get no answer.

Basketball is the most positive outlet that exists for the youth. Unlike every other major sport, basketball is MUCH more versatile, whether you play alone, with friends, if you’re 5 years old or 65 years old, anybody can play this game and use their creative minds in a positive way. Indoor basketball courts cost money to play, or to hire. Leagues cost money to play, and to register. Stadiums are closed when crime rates are at it's highest. Why should a kid have to pay dollars to do something positive? Why should a kid not have access to a 24 hour sporting facility? Where's the answers?

Kids around Australia, as well as teenagers and young adults, always email us (MSF) and tell us that the new highschool court in their area is closed after school hours... so what's the point of having a facility when the local youth can't use it to it's full potential? Where's the night lights? Where's the support for the people who want to play sports instead of hanging out with friends at nightclubs or at home playing video games? not just at night though, we’re talking about during the day also. The youth do not have enough positive recreational facilities to unite at. And if there are a few, the basketball courts are usually ALWAYS the cheapest and worst quality that end up steering kids away. Fact.

Our proposition; on behalf of millions of other Australians; build ONE Superior outdoor basketball court in each Australian City... central to all suburbs. Close to transport. Secure and Safe. Night lights. Open 24 hours. The highest standard of ring systems and surface. And then you will all see; the Domino Effect. These superior outdoor courts will become populated with positivity and energy; believe it. And once it succeeds in one community, other communities and councils will follow in these footsteps.

* THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS. NO PLACE ELSE. *
