2024 FORMAT AND CALENDAR

Discover the Fun of 3×3 Basketball! 🏀🎉

What’s 3×3 Basketball? 3×3 basketball is a cool twist on the regular basketball game you know and love. Instead of 5 players, each team has just 3 players plus two subs. The game is played on a half-court with only one hoop. This means more chances for everyone to touch the ball, score points, and show off their amazing skills!

Why You’ll Love It:

1. Non-Stop Action: With fewer players, the game moves quickly. You’ll be dribbling, passing, and shooting non-stop!
2. More Play Time: Everyone gets more time on the court. No more waiting around – you’re always in the game!
3. Teamwork Rocks: Because it’s just you and two teammates, you’ll work together closely and become an unstoppable trio.
4. Cool Moves: You’ll have lots of chances to try out those fancy dribbles, slick passes, and epic shots.
5. Short and Sweet: Games are quick, usually around 10 minutes or the first team to 21 points wins. Perfect for keeping the energy high and the fun rolling!
