Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the development and challenges of Addis Ababa basketball clubs. The study comprises 49 basketball players in Addis Ababa city club champions, 3 current and former administrative staffs of Addis Ababa basketball federation and 2 Ethiopian Radio and Television Sport Journalists. A descriptive survey study is used to carry out this research. Three instruments such as questionnaire, interview and document analysis were used to gather the data. The descriptive analysis of the data was analyzed by using both qualitative and quantitative methods, such as frequency counts, percentage and descriptive statements. The result of the study clearly showed that Addis Ababa basketball club players practice 3 days per week and 1:20 hrs per session. Schools have been the main sources of potential players for clubs; coaches also started their carrier in the school. The major constraints associated with Addis Ababa basketball clubs are found to have very low media coverage, absence of supporters’ association, a few number of spectators, a few number of clubs, lack of facilities and equipment, no regular salary for coaches and players, no permanent national team, lack or absence of play ground in the villages, not following scientific method of training by coaches and very low level of communication among stakeholders. To overcome these problems, the following recommendations have been forwarded: every stakeholder should work hand to hand in order to solve the problems, the government should give equal emphasis to basketball sport like other sports and the federal sport commission should construct basketball courts in different corners of the city so as to increase its popularity.
