Who are we?

The 3BA is a youth basketball organization based in Toronto, Canada. Founded on the principle of being innovatively geared toward player development, the 3BA brand focuses on teaching practical fundamental basketball skills within a 3x3 game-play format.

3x3 basketball forces each player to be engaged offensively and defensively. This allows for a meaningful basketball experience each and every time a player participates.

Our goal is to help players develop their skillset in a fun, competitive and high energy environment.

YOUTH BASKETBALL
HAS A PROBLEM.

1. Zone Defense.

Youth basketball players are often taught to play 'zone' defense as a means to win games. This concept forces players to shoot from distance at an age where they lack the physical strength to do so. This develops bad habits in players from a young age.

Kids also fail to learn proper defensive principles that reinforce hard work as a path to success.

2. Inconsistent Skill Development.

Practicing step back 3s may not help your game if you cannot make a left handed layup. Young players are taught 'NBA moves' without any context or focus on fundamentals. Players have difficulty applying complex moves in games when their fundamentals are not established.

3. Stressful Environment.

Parent screaming, player taunting, coaches swearing, player benching and unequal opportunity.

Enough said.

WHY JOIN
THE 3BA?

LINK TRAINING TO COMPETITION

The 3BA offers enhanced skills development to help young players improve their basketball skills and reach their potential. Each weekly session incorporates a 30 minute segment devoted to skill improvement. 3x3 games also contain improved spacing which provides a offenses to attack in space and defenses to focus on man to man competition.

DOMINATE FLOOR TIME

With just 3 players on the court, all players are required to participate on both the defensive and offensive side of the ball. 3x3 players gain meaningful basketball experience as each player on a team receives significant floor time.

FOSTER A NEXT PLAY MENTALITY

As opposed to 5x5 basketball, players are not immediately substituted off by a coach and not have time to dwell on a mistake. 3x3 basketball is fast paced as players quickly shift from offense to defense. The immediate transition allows players to quickly shift focus and keep their confidence stable.

ELEVATE COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION

With only 3 players on a wide court, every player must be engaged and active on both sides of the ball. This requires teamwork and communication in play to achieve success.
