Score Hoops 3on3 Basketball Skills Clinic
Over the past few years 3on3 basketball, also known as 3x3 basketball has grown in popularity worldwide. 3on3 basketball is another form of basketball that is played with only six players (three on each team) on half court versus traditional 5on5 basketball, which is played with ten players spanning full court. 3on3 basketball is fun and it can be competitive. It can also be used as a tool to develop the game of basketball players, especially youth. Score Hoops 3on3 Basketball was founded for the purpose of teaching and developing the skills (physical and mental) of youth basketball players.
There are numerous benefits from implementing 3on3 basketball into any and all basketball programs. Here are our Top 5 reasons why 3on3 basketball is beneficial for basketball players.
Players are more engaged.
With only three players per team, each player gets to be involved in all of the action. Every player has to rebound, handle the basketball, and play defense. It is hard for players to hide in a game of 3x3, so players need to be ready to contribute in all phases of the game.
More opportunities to score.
There is more spacing on the basketball court in a game of 3on3 and that brings more opportunities to not only touch the basketball, but to score! With only a total of six players on the court at a time, finding space and putting up a shot attempt is more likely to happen. Players should use this to their advantage and work on finding their favorite spots on the floor to get up a shot.
Helps players develop their game.
Piggybacking off of point number 2, 3on3 basketball can be used to help players improve areas of their game that need work. Whether it be dribbling, rebounding, shooting, or defense, the wide open nature of 3on3 basketball will give players plenty of chances to get the extra reps needed to boost their skill level in different areas.
Boosts players’ basketball IQ.
In 3on3 basketball, the game is broken down into smaller pieces. Players can learn how to move around in space without the basketball, work on setting screens, and learn how to communicate on defense. With 3on3 basketball these moves are available all of the time giving players the opportunity to learn not only how, but when to execute these moves.
FUN!
Things are more enjoyable when they are fun and 3on3 basketball is just that - FUN! With more touches, more opportunities to score, and it’s wide open nature, 3on3 basketball is a fun and engaging way to teach the game of basketball to youth players. As players improve and get more comfortable in 3on3, their skills easily translate over to the traditional 5on5 game.
