2027 Series

Half-court action for the whole family

Top 10 3x3 Series

Four qualifying Sundays. Four high-school divisions at every stop: U16 boys, U16 girls, U19 boys and U19 girls. Teams of four play under FIBA 3x3 rules from 10h00 to late. Each division needs at least eight teams to run, with a maximum of ten. Two pools lead to one final between the pool winners — and each stop’s champions qualify for a separate Grand Finale event.
