WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- USA Basketball's headquarters, currently
located in Colorado Springs, is to move to the Phoenix suburb of Glendale,
adding to the city's growing roster of sports facilities.
The new headquarters will be a complex including USA Basketball's executive
offices, a multi-court training facility and a 150-room hotel, as the project
has been approved by Glendale City Council on Tuesday.
"The amenities which will be available at our headquarters and on the
campus are distinctive and high-end, and will greatly expand our capacity to
contribute to the overall growth of our sport," said USA Basketball president
Val Ackerman, who led relocation efforts.
USA Basketball is the national governing body for teams that represent the
United States in the Olympics and other international competitions.
