There are three types of FIBA 3×3 endorsed events: pro circuit, national team, and grassroots. The pro circuit includes all Road to the World Tour events, such as Challengers and Quests, which lead to World Tour Masters. Selection for national team events such as the Olympics, 3×3 World Cups, and 3×3 AmeriCups are conducted by each national basketball federation. Grassroots events are typically organized locally and open to a variety of ages and skill levels. Learn more about the FIBA competition network.

3×3 basketball is a sport that can be enjoyed by players of all levels in a competitive or skill-development setting. This fast-paced game encourages creative thinking and exposes players to all skills, positions and facets of the game.

Coaches, make your teams better and teach individual skill development to players by incorporating 3×3 into your practices. 3×3 games are an excellent way to teach fundamental skills to players of all ability levels.

By incorporating a 12-second shot clock, players are challenged to make quick decisions and work together to score. Players are exposed to all positions on the court while learning to pass, attack and move with and without the basketball. 3×3 games can take place in an informal setting or by following the official 3×3 rules of the game.

Add an extra level of competitiveness to your practices by creating your own official 3×3 events on the FIBA 3×3 event maker platform and having your players create FIBA 3×3 player profiles. Player profiles earn individual ranking points which can be tracked against each other. By the end of the season, see which players break into the top 50 for all 3×3 players in Guyana!

There are three official FIBA 3×3 rankings: individual ranking, team ranking and federation ranking. Individual players earn ranking points by competing in FIBA 3×3-endorsed events, but only the sum of each player’s best nine events within the past 12 months are considered when calculating rankings.

Team ranking on the 3×3 World Tour is calculated based on the sum of the top three highest-ranked players on a specific team. Even though a pro team can have six players on its roster, the team’s ranking will only reflect the sum of the three highest-ranked players.

Federation ranking is calculated based on the ranking points of each national federation for a specific category (U18, U23, open, men, women). Federation ranking is determined by the sum of the ranking points of the top 50 of each country’s players with a confirmed player profile, in a specific category.
