Basketball 3v3 Player Development

Teams consist of approximately 6-8 players that are a mix of athletes and volunteers. Two athletes and one volunteer play at a time in a half-court setting. Each team is age and skill matched to the extent possible. This level is intended to be a bridge between the Individual Skills level and Traditional 3v3 or 5v5 levels of independent competitive play. Season typically runs January thru March.
