The international governing body for basketball has launched three-on-three as the official summer outdoor version of the sport. It needs only half a court for a game.
Mr Rogers asked the council to develop community-based outdoor three-on-three basketball courts. The association was keen to partner with the council to develop a programme for communities such as Merivale, Papamoa, Welcome Bay and Hairini.
"The programme would help develop connections with local communities and add healthy activities for families and youth."
The association has offered to help install basketball hoops on council netball courts, saying it would provide a cheaper option than building basketball facilities from scratch.
Mr Rogers understood the council was waiting for the completion of the Spaces and Places Review by Sport Bay of Plenty. This would help decisions on where, when and what new facilities were needed.
The association's submission said there was currently no provision for new indoor sporting facilities.
