Is this 3x3 style of basketball the newest sporting craze, like Ruby 7s? The Illawarra Hawks are in on it and hosted their latest tournament over the school holidays

00:03I kind of went to Nicole, our COO, and just said I want to try two different events that we
00:08haven't done before.
00:09One of three on three, and then we kind of just built it out from there.
00:12Something different, we haven't run one in a long time here at the Snake Fit.
00:16Yeah, just a bit of fun.
00:17All the kids play so much five on five and like representative basketball, local basketball.
00:21We just saw three on three as a different avenue for them to play, learn, experience a different style of
00:27basketball
00:27because it is quite different and we thought there was a better opportunity than in the school holidays
00:32when they're all sitting around at home.
00:34I think understanding of spacing, obviously they're playing in a half court, they can't run into the full court.
00:39So I think spacing's a big one and I think if you can understand the spacing in a half court
00:43environment,
00:44it's really easy to transition into a full court environment.
00:47Now that Basketball Australia has adopted three on three and they're sending teams to the Commonwealth Games and Olympics,
00:52it is a different avenue for kids to go through the pathway and it's just more basketball really.
00:58Go, go, go, go, go.
