Jr. NBA 3v3

What is Jr. NBA 3v3?

The NBA and London Marathon Events are delivering an exciting new tournament in 2025 to drive participation in schools in the growing phenomenon that is 3v3 basketball – welcome to Jr. NBA 3v3.

What do I need to know?

• Who can take part? The tournament is open to London schools. It includes the following categories: girls, boys and participants in wheelchairs in Years 9 to 11.
• How many students should be in each team? Each team will be made up of a minimum of four players and a maximum of six players.
• What will the tournament involve? Teams will host borough competitions and regional qualifiers, with the winning teams invited to compete in the Finals Festival on Friday 6 June 2025 in a (top secret!) central London location. The Finals Festival will also offer the opportunity to win NBA prizes.
• How can I help my students take part? Check out the 3v3 activity cards below. These materials include everything you need to know to start training a 3v3 team, including a rules quick guide and skills building warm ups, activities and cool downs to deliver 3v3 basketball in your school or education setting.
• I’m not a London school, can I take part? The tournament is currently only open to London secondary schools, but our 3v3 teaching materials are free to use for any school.
