Summer basketball 3×3

Ludvika basket wants to jump on the 3×3 trend and establish a culture of music and basketball outdoors to build bridges between young people with a nice meeting place for a common interest. 3X3 is a game form where people of all ages can meet, regardless of background and experience. 

 

Young people are demanding

The basketball club in Ludvika is investing in an outdoor floor for 3×3 basketball, a new branch of basketball that is growing explosively. It is a spontaneous and inclusive form of basketball where you play 3 against 3 on a basket, (half court) with simpler rules and always music.

We want to lay out the floor in Ludvika, invite to open training evenings a couple of times a week throughout the summer. As a conclusion, a tournament will be arranged where we also invite surrounding clubs. This will be something for all basketball lovers throughout Leader Bergslagen!
