Overview

3x3 basketball was played for the first time at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore. It introduced a new half-court style of basketball that was faster and focused more on teamwork and quick play.

Each team had four players, three on the court and one on the bench. The games were played on a smaller court with only one basket and a twelve-second shot clock, which made the game move quicker than regular basketball.

There were both boys and girls tournaments, and teams came from many different countries around the world.
