E.B. AND B.B.L. SIGN NEW FIVE YEAR DEAL

01/10/07

The British Basketball League (BBL) and England Basketball (EB) are delighted to announce the signing of a new five-year contract between the two organisations.

The agreement maintains the BBL's status as the men's premier league and recognises the role of EB as having overall responsibility for the development of basketball in England. As part of the contractual relationship, the management of the two organisations will meet on a regular basis to discuss matters of policy and common interest whilst also looking at ways in which the two organisations can work in tandem in the delivery of the sport.

Upon signing the agreement, BBL Chairman Paul Blake commented, "We are delighted to have finalised this latest agreement. We are looking forward to working alongside EB with the development of basketball during this exciting period leading up to the 2012 Olympics".

Terry Donovan, Chairman of England Basketball said, "It is important that the BBL has the reassurance of a 5-year contractual term confirming their status within the game of basketball in this country, and we expect and look forward to their increasing contribution to our overall goals."

An agreement between the two organisations has been in place since the BBL's inception in September 1987.
