3V3 BASKETBALL LEAGUE

3V3 Basketball League

K-8th Grade Boys/Girls

The Ashland YMCA 3×3 Basketball League is a fast-paced, competitive basketball experience designed for players who are ready to play, compete, and grow through game action. Inspired by FIBA-style 3×3 basketball, this league emphasizes freedom, decision-making, and real basketball reads — not sideline coaching.

Each team will play two fast-paced games, giving kids an opportunity to showcase their abilities, work together, and develop a love for the game in an energetic and supportive environment. This league runs one night per week and is built for athletes who already have a foundational understanding of the game.

What is 3X3 basketball?

3×3 basketball is a globally recognized format of the game played at a faster pace with smaller teams, creating more touches, more decisions, and more opportunities for growth.
