3 on 3 Youth Developmental Basketball

Small sided basketball games simply involve 3 players on the court for each team rather than the traditional 5, to increase ball handling opportunities for all children.  The slower half court pace allows the development of the key offensive skills of dribbling, passing & shooting, as well as defensive play.  3 on 3 will be run by instructors, not coaches.  Maximum of 10 participants per age group.
