Our ongoing commitment
Accessibility Statement
Accessibility work is ongoing. Find a Hoop is not yet fully accessible and has not been certified as fully conforming to an accessibility standard. We are actively working on it, and we intend to continue improving the experience over time.
Our commitment
Find a Hoop wants people with disabilities to be able to discover basketball opportunities and use the directory. We are working to identify, prevent, and remove barriers in the website, forms, search tools, listing pages, advertising, and map experience. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, currently WCAG 2.2 Level AA, as a reference for this continuing work. This is a goal and reference point, not a claim that every page or feature currently conforms.
Work in progress
Our continuing accessibility efforts include:
- improving keyboard navigation, visible focus, headings, labels, landmarks, and link purpose;
- reviewing color contrast, text resizing, responsive layouts, and touch target sizes;
- improving form instructions, validation, status messages, and error identification;
- providing text-based directory pages as an alternative to map-based discovery;
- reviewing dynamic filters, dialogs, cards, advertisements, and other interactive components with assistive technology in mind; and
- testing, prioritizing fixes, and incorporating accessibility into future updates.
Accessibility is not a one-time project. We expect standards, content, technology, and user needs to evolve, and we plan to continue reviewing and improving the Service.
Known limitations
Some parts of the Service may not yet work well for every user or assistive technology. Current or potential limitations include the interactive map, dynamic search and filtering controls, complex listing cards, third-party map tiles, advertising or sponsored content that may be added, linked third-party content, and older pages that are still being reviewed. Third-party sites and advertising services linked from Find a Hoop are controlled by their owners, and we cannot guarantee their accessibility.
We are working to assess these areas and address barriers based on impact, feasibility, available resources, and user feedback. We cannot promise that every issue will be fixed immediately or by a particular date, but our work will continue.
Alternative access and feedback
If a barrier prevents you from accessing information or completing a task, tell us what you need. We will make reasonable efforts to provide the information in an alternative format or help identify another way to use the Service.
Use Submit a Change, select "Other," and write "Accessibility" at the beginning of your message. Please include:
- the page address or feature involved;
- a short description of the problem;
- the format or assistance you need; and
- your browser, device, or assistive technology, if you are comfortable sharing it.
We welcome accessibility feedback and will use it to help prioritize future improvements. Response and remediation times can vary based on the issue and available resources.
