3x3 League

This league will be back in 2021! We have to cancel the 2020 fall season due to Covid-19.

Dream Big Basketball Academy invites you to compete in the Dream Big 3x3 League. This basketball league offers players a unique setting where they have more control over the game. 3x3 is a fast paced, exciting game that gives each ample opportunities on offense and defense to show their skills. Through fundamental team play, each group has as great chance to work out give-in-go's, back door cuts, pick and rolls, etc. The intent of this league is to provide a fun and competitive learning environment for all players. We have students from Huntersville, Cornelius, Charlotte and surrounding areas.

Additional 3x3 league Information

Scoring:

Two point per basket made inside the arc. Three points (excluding grades 3rd-4th) for baskets made from beyond the arc.
Two games are played for 20 minutes with a running clock. The team ahead after 20 minutes wins.
If the game is tied after 20 minutes, a sudden death free throw shootout will break the tie. Each team receives equal opportunities to shoot free throws until one team makes it and the other team misses. New shooter each time.

Live Ball/Dead Ball Possession:

The ball will change possession after a scored basket.
All jump balls will go to the defense.
After a scored basket, the ball must be checked at the top of the arc; the offensive player behind the arc and the defensive player inside the arc.
The ball and one foot must be behind the arc to change possession. Possession must be changed after a defensive rebound (rim or not) or a steal. If not taken behind the arc, any points scored are void and the other team gains possession. No need to check the ball if no basket was scored.

Fouls:

Officials will be calling fouls
Only team fouls are counted, not individual.
For shooting fouls inside or outside the arc, the offended team will get one point and possession of the ball from behind the arc.
For shooting fouls where the basket is made, the offended team will get the basket in addition to the foul. The possession changes to the team that was scored on.
Starting with the 7th team foul, the offended team will get one point per foul for non-shooting and the ball back behind the arc.
Technical fouls are an automatic two points and possession of the ball behind the arc.

Substitutions:

Substitutions may be made after a made basket, a foul, violation, or after the ball goes out of bounds. Let the referee know.
