Ball Out 3x3 National Tour 2022 dates and locations confirmed as part of bumper year of 3x3

Ball Out 3x3 and Basketball England will again collaborate on an exciting string of events across the country as part of a huge summer of 3x3. 

‘Ball Out 3x3 in partnership with Basketball England’ will feature six qualifying events across the country in June and July, culminating in two days of national finals in London. 

Ball Out will return to the capital, Newcastle, Essex – visiting the spectacular new 3x3 courts at Writtle University College – and Manchester, with a new stop in Nottingham. 

The half-court form of the game is set to explode this year as part of a summer bonanza for the sport, with Ball Out leading the way.
