What is 3x3 Basketball?
3x3 is basketball stripped back to its most exciting parts: quick attacks, smart spacing, strong teamwork and constant involvement. It is played with three players per team on a half court, using one basket.

Community energy
3x3 is perfect for open runs, club events, school sessions, summer leagues, outdoor courts and local tournaments.
Simple format. High energy.
3x3 basketball is designed to be short, exciting and easy to follow. Games are played on a half court with one basket, which creates a fast, streetball-style atmosphere.
It is a great way to introduce new players to competitive basketball, while also challenging experienced players to improve their fitness, skill, creativity and decision-making.
- Three players on court: each team plays with three players at a time.
- Half-court game: the game is played on one basket.
- Quick games: games are short, intense and easy to organise.
- First to 21: official games can finish early if one team reaches 21 points.
