Huge summer of 3x3 to celebrate anniversary of Birmingham 2022 success

We are all set for another massive summer of 3x3.

There will be a celebration of the one-year anniversary of Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, where Team England won 3x3 gold and silver on a triumphant night for home-grown basketball. 

That will be marked by a special stop on the JD Ball Out 3x3 Tour, while there will be a host of other events happening across the nation supported by Basketball England.  

See below for all the 3x3 events happening across England.

Let us know if you are running a 3x3 tournament this summer by @bballengland in your social posts.
