WHAT: With 3×3 basketball now an Olympic sport, Red Bull 3X is the series of events that identifies elite men’s and women’s players who could potentially represent USA Basketball in the future. As part of the partnership, Red Bull hosts 20 qualifying tournaments across the country, and the hoops hot bed of Washington DC is among one of the first stops.
The winning teams at these qualifiers will have an opportunity of advancing to the Red Bull USA Basketball 3X Regionals in the Fall of 2021, and then to the Red Bull USA Basketball 3X Nationals in 2021, which will be used to evaluate players for USA men’s and women’s 3×3 national teams.
RULES: 3×3 is played on a half court with a 10-minute game clock and 12-second shot clock, where the winner is the first team to score 21 points or the team in the lead at the end of the 10-minute regulation.
WHO: Elite men and women (ages 18+) with a goal of being evaluated for USA Basketball Men’s and Women’s 3×3 National Teams.
