Udupi, May 24: Basketball players in Udupi will have a lot to cheer about. A state-of-the-art basketball court with floodlight facilities is will soon be inaugurated at the district stadium in the town.
Construction of this court is already completed at a cost of Rs. 19.5 lakh and finishing touches are being given to the court.
According to H. Sridhar, Secretary of Udupi District Basketball Association, the basketball court was essential as there was no basketball court in Udupi. “The new court would give a chance to basketball players to hone their skills,” he said.
He said that after the inauguration of the court, the association would hire a coach to train primary and high school students in basketball. “We can create district-level teams. We can also motivate youngsters,” he said.
In addition to this, two pavilions have been constructed at a cost of Rs. 82.8 lakh. These have imported German leather roofing, which is fire-proof. The pavilions on either side of the entrance give a good look to the district stadium.
The new court fulfils a long-pending demand of basketball players in the district. Hitherto, it was difficult for the Department of Sports and Youth Empowerment to hold basket ball matches here.
“We used to hold district-level high school and college basket ball tournaments mostly at the basketball court of the NMAM Institute of Technology in Nitte or at the Kasturba Medical College in Manipal,” Roshan Kumar Shetty, Assistant Director, Sports and Youth Empowerment.
“We can now organise district-level and even State-level basketball tournaments at our new court. Besides, it is accompanied with floodlight facility,” he said.
