We will be offering a 10-week program running from mid-April through June.

The Competition season will consist of 12 regular-season games plus Divisional and City championships.

What is 3x3?
What used to be a simple half-court game of pick-up has now become an officially recognized sport. This summer, the International Olympic Committee announced the inclusion of 3X3 basketball as an official event in the 2021 Olympics to be held in Tokyo.
