Basketball participation overview 

Basketball is currently the 17th most popular sport for women, but the 4th most popular team sport.

There has been a considerable decline in the proportion of women – around 30,200 women took part in basketball at least once a week in 2009-10, compared to 40,700 in 2008-09.

Basketball remains predominantly a male sport with approximately four times as many men playing as women.
