Dave Owen Basketball

In 2014 I created my own brand 'Dave Owen Basketball', as I wanted to provide a central platform for information that brought all levels of British Basketball together in one place. It has become known as the information hub for British Basketball, with a particular emphasis on statistics and analysis/historic comparisons. The main output is the website www.daveowenbasketball.co.uk which brings together all information and statistics about British Basketball into one versatile database-style website. My objectives for the website, and the brand in general, are as follows.

- to raise the overall profile of British Basketball and make it more visible
- provide a platform giving current players exposure to attract more opportunities to progress
- provide a platform recognising and celebrating iconic individuals in the sport
- provide previously unavailable information for players, coaches, clubs and content creators
- present information in a way that is accessible and engaging to those new to the sport

Due to these objectives I want to keep the website open-access to all and the exposure profiles free to players. So, to make the website sustainable I am hopeful the basketball community will donate enough to make it viable. Support is slowly growing but a lot more is required, so if you can see my vision and feel my passion for the game (which you must share if you're still reading at this point!) please consider donating as little as £1 a month.

This is a message I received from a GB junior international player when he earned a scholarship to play and study at UC Davis (NCAA DI) in California, which hopefully illustrates the impact Dave Owen Basketball can continue to have with your support.
