Secondary School Program
3×3 basketball is considered the number one urban team sport and is simple enough to be played anywhere by anybody.
In this program, secondary school students in years 7 and 8 can learn basketball through a set of engaging ‘game sense’ activities which culminate in a mini-tournament.
The program also offers multiple avenues for participation by empowering students to choose roles including player, referee, coach and scorer/statistician.
