How Does It Work?

Just like the name, it's 3-on-3. You'll play a three-team round robin format. Each "match" is a 6-game round-robin, in which each team plays 4 11-minute games against 2 opponents (with 1-minute overtime). Teams are awarded 3 points for every win and 1 point for every tie in the standings.  The matches last 75 minutes. And we keep it exciting for everyone on the team through our three divisions (Players/Sorta Players, Casual and Extremely Casual).

What’s the Cost and What’s Included?

Early/regular registration will open July 21st and close August 1st/September 1st or earlier if the league sells out. League fees are $695/$795 for a team of up to 6 players ($35 for each additional player over 6 - no limit to number of players on your roster) and $130/$140 for individuals (we'll get everyone on a team).

What Are the Rules?

This is a fun recreational league. So we want everyone to play, stay involved and stay safe. The key rules are:

• 3 on 3, (1 woman on the court at all times - co-ed only)
• Scoring - Each regular field goal is worth 2 points. A successful shot from behind the 3-point arc (19’-9”) is worth 3 points (only when gym is marked). Foul shots are worth 1 point. (After the game, the team that has the most fun wins)
• Six 11-minute games/match involving 3 teams. Each team plays the other 2 teams twice for a total of 4 games. Each game counts in the standings. (3 points for wins, 1 point for ties, 0 points for loses)
• Ball changes possession after each basket.
• Starting with the 6th foul, teams will shoot 2 foul shots (1 and 1 only if no 3-point line) with change of possession on a made 2nd shot or a live ball on a missed 2nd shot
• Must take the ball back past 3-point line on change of possession.
• Discretionary 30-second shot clock rule.
• For full set of rules, see link at top of page.

Levels of Play

• Players Division - Think you're a jock? This division will be competitive, but still fun.
• Sorta Players - Pretty good athletes, maybe played together before, but still social and laid back.
• Casual Division - Played before? Not a bad athlete? This is the happy middle ground.
• Extremely Casual Division - this is the pure fun division. It's for you if you're looking more for the social than the competition or consider yourself a beginner at the organized game.
