WHAT IS 3x3 BASKETBALL?


Playing basketball is always enjoyable, but 3x3 basketball takes the game to a whole new level of exhilaration! Here are a few advantages you can experience by participating in our 3x3 basketball league...


INCREASED PLAYING TIME

With only three players per team, everyone receives more playing time and opportunities to display their skills.
