THE VISION
The Tees-Durham Basketball League (TDBL) aims to create a simple, affordable and cohesive approach to playing lifelong basketball across the Tees and Durham area. We want:
-
Basketball to be accessible to all regardless of ability or status.
-
To foster a positive culture that is based on healthy competition.
-
To remove workload and challenges faced by clubs.
-
People to have opportunities for lifelong participation in basketball
TDBL owns the brand, the central-venue model, the registration system and the insurance cover that supports all endeavours. In the first instance, it shall have two elements:
TDBL will facilitate one registration system, one insurance policy, one central-venue booking model, and one sponsorship proposition - shared across every age group instead of being rebuilt separately for juniors and seniors. It offers a clear, visible pathway; a player can grow up inside Next Gen and graduate straight into Game On without ever leaving the TDBL family.
