ROLE

3×3 is open to everyone and public and private promoters are equally welcome to organise FIBA 3×3-endorsed events and join the competition network.

This said national basketball federations can play a major role in the development of the game. In addition to having at least one dedicated staff member to 3×3, the main activities of a national federation are as follows:

  • Use the FIBA 3×3 Backend to follow and supervise activity in its territory

  • Generate activity by directly organizing events and encourage other promoters to do so

  • Promote the use of FIBA’s freeware to run events

  • Invest in youth programs such as the FIBA 3×3 U23 Nations League

  • Select, train and promote a strong national team and participate in FIBA 3×3 national team competitions

  • Organize official FIBA 3×3 competitions

  • Incentivize nationals to play in the FIBA 3×3 professional season

  • Raise awareness of 3×3 in its territory

  • Introduce 3×3 in schools and academies

  • Organize skills camps

  • Auxiliary events potential (associated events with economic value)

Sporting benefits:

  • Inspirational guests (the stars of the sport)

  • Legacy of 3×3 participation (involvement of fans and community)

  • Accelerated development of elite programmes

Social benefits:

  • Support of wider strategic goals

  • Social responsibility campaigns (social, environmental and health)
