What is 3x3?

What used to be a simple half-court pickup game has now become an officially recognized FIBA sport. 3x3 basketball creates more touches, more movement, and more opportunities for player development.

Benefits of 3x3 Basketball

More touches. Players get significantly more opportunities with the ball compared to traditional 5v5 basketball.

Everyone develops guard skills. Players learn to handle the ball, make decisions quickly, and play with pace.

Defensive development. Players improve help-side defence, ball containment, and communication.

Offensive movement. Concepts like pass-and-cut, screening, spacing, and drive-and-dish are emphasized constantly.

Speed & quickness. Faster pace means more reps, more engagement, and more growth opportunities.

Skill Development

Every Tuesday evening, players receive hands-on training from university and professional athletes alongside experienced WMBA staff. Sessions focus on game-ready skills, basketball IQ, confidence building, and learning the FIBA 3x3 continuous game.

Flexibility for Families

We know summer schedules can be busy. Families can notify us of vacations or scheduling conflicts in advance, and our substitution policy helps ensure players don’t miss out while teams remain competitive.
