3×3 basketball is increasingly becoming a key motor for the development of basketball.
One of the biggest strengths of 3×3 is its simplicity both in terms of RULES and in terms of required facilities, allowing it to be held in the most spectacular settings, using iconic landmarks as backdrops.
Beyond ensuring a sustained growth in the number of basketball players, FIBA has created a worldwide sports community through a network of hundreds of organisers, thousands of tournaments and millions of players. The online community play.fiba.3×3 interconnects all of these thanks to the latest digital technology.
Members of 3x3Planet can interact using their computers or mobile phones via the Mobile App that allows them to team-up with other players nearby, register for tournaments and record results of their games.
Points accumulated result in the main indicator of how good an individual player is the Ranking.
The more ballers play, the better their chances are of improving this indicator, increasing the number of games played on the courts and playgrounds everywhere, and absorbing an ever-growing number of 3x3planet.com members.
