3x3

Considered to be the number one urban team sport in the world, 3x3 basketball is increasingly becoming a key driver for the development of basketball in Ireland.

All you need is a hoop, a ball, a half court and minimum six players.
3x3 is THE basketball format to cater for any standard of player, new to the game, looking to get back playing, getting fit and having fun.

Beyond ensuring a sustained growth in the number of basketball players, FIBA has created a worldwide sports community through a network of hundreds of organisers, thousands of tournaments and millions of players. The online community here interconnects all of these thanks to the latest digital technology.

Players accumulate points in every event that they play. The more ballers play, the better their chances are of improving their ranking.

A global network of open tournaments, from grassroots to the FIBA 3x3 World Tour, and National Team FIBA 3x3 World Championships are at the forefront of the development of 3x3 basketball, with the discipline having gained Olympic status.

Why run a 3X3 event?

Allows players more time on the ball to have fun, develop skills and is played at a high pace (12 sec shot clock) – all points that allow skill development at a faster rate than 5v5
Can be played outside and inside – all that’s needed is a half court and a ball
Can be played at every age group from U8 - seniors
It is a great teaching tool for basic 5v5 movements and skills. Often times within 5v5, the main offensive operation is performed by only 3 players (e.g. a pick and roll with the 3 players on the ball/strong side or a pass and screen away are some of the most common movements in basketball)
With official FIBA sanctioned events (free and every club can do this), every player gets ranking points
