Spring League 3 on 3 To further promote the development of basketball in our basketball community, MPMBA is offering a 6 week 3 on 3 spring league starting on April 22nd. There will be both girls and boys divisions opened to players in Grades 2 to 9. The divisions will be; Gr 2 – 3  Gr 4 – 5 Gr 6 – 7 Gr 8 - 9 All games will take place Sunday afternoon at Newtown Elementary from 12:00 – 6:00pm. Players will play one hour a week and a schedule will be developed once registration closes on April 7th. WHY 3 on 3? More touches, shots, handling the ball, passes, rebounds, etc... for players: On average players will touch the ball 1/6 of the time as opposed to 1/10 of the time in 5v5. Everyone gets to handle the ball which leads to improved dribble and passing skills. Promotes more one and one (man to man) defense and encourages all players being active in defense. Great way to build your motion offense: moving without the ball, ball screens, dribble drive action etc... Faster game for players of all ages as all players are involved and rely more on the FUNdatmetals of basketball…more shots, passes, rebounds, defending etc... FUN!! Most important part of the program!
Registration Opens Monday March 12th. Registration Link.
Cost will be $40. All players must have a reversible (white/dark) basketball jersey – one can be purchased on the first day for $25.
