Riley and sports advocates rally for year round access to indoor basketball courts

Bronx Council Member Kevin C. Riley rallied with youth advocates and community leaders on April 23 to demand year-round access to indoor basketball courts, just hours before a key City Council Parks and Recreation Committee hearing on the issue.

Riley is the sponsor of the Indoor Hoops Act, which would set the city on a path to open more indoor basketball courts like those inside NYC public schools when bad weather makes using public outdoor basketball courts difficult or on weekends.  Riley has 28 co-sponsors in support of the bill that is currently in committee.
