3 on 3 Update

 
I LOVE 3 on 3 basketball for youth players. I am glad that we had 8 players in two teams play in Mass Premier's first 3 on 3 Tournament on August 3.  Each team played about 12 games non stop from 9 am to 12:30 pm. We came home with the championship for our age group.

It was a great day to be a Destroyer. Our players each touched the ball much more often than they get to playing 5 on 5.  There was room to operate and practice their budding basketball skills. 

Players tried new things like screening, posting up and cutting to get open. The girls did not have to worry about breaking a press to get the ball in play. They saw how to "help" on defense. 

They practiced their one on one moves. Every player scored. Every player improved on every aspect of her game over the course of the day. Every player (and parent) enjoyed the day. 

I wish we had more chances to play in organized 3 on 3events and or leagues. One parent suggested that the Destroyers organized something. It is worth looking into it.
