Murray Bridge is set to stage the only South Australian 3X3 Nationals tournament on June 6-7 and Basketball Australia is calling all basketball enthusiasts to either sign up or come along as a spectator to watch street ball at its best.

With over 250 million players worldwide, 3X3 has grown to be extremely popular and the sport just keeps getting bigger and better. The reasoning behind its success is because 3X3 is for everyone, from the highly experienced, to no experience at all. There are so many opportunities, whether your goal is to just have fun or make it onto the world stage.

The 3X3 Nationals are open to basketball players from across the community, including associations, schools, businesses and even from local “street” courts. Teams consist of four players who are guaranteed at least three matches in their qualifying event and there are still spaces for teams to enter.

Registrations are going very well for the tournament in Murray Bridge and organisers are looking forward to seeing the numbers grow further over the coming weeks.

Teams that qualify for the quarterfinals at each of the seven 3X3 Nationals–Qualifier events, are automatically eligible to compete in the 3X3 National Finals, with no registration fee being charged for the Finals.

Basketball Australia is thrilled to be supporting this new fast paced basketball event and are encouraging everyone to give it a go! Categories include: Men’s & Women’s U14, U16, U18 & Opens.
