HOW IT ALL STARTED

Midwest 3 on 3 ran its first 3 on 3 league in 1997 at Champlin Park High School. The goal was to provide a FUN atmosphere for kids to experience playing basketball where they could play with friends & touch the ball a lot - without coaches yelling or an emphasis on winning. That’s how our #Play4Fun motto was born.

Today, thousands of youth basketball players participate each year in Midwest 3 on 3 leagues, tournaments & camps in various locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

 FAQs

  • Typically, each team will play two games per day/evening. Games will usually be 20 minutes running time and played on a half court. Games will be scored by a referee. Typically there is music playing and concessions available. We try to build the schedule so your team plays its two games within 90 minutes or less.

  • You will need to register as a TEAM. You must have a minimum of 3 players and can have a maximum of 6 players. One player's parent/guardian will complete the on-line registration form for the team. This person will be the Primary Contact for the team.  Primary Contacts need to be prepared to enter roster information for each player (shirt size, graduation year, name, phone number & email address) and to pay the complete team fee.

  • Rules & Philosophy This document will also be available on the first league date when your team picks up their shirts since various sites may have slightly different rules.

  • No. This league is NOT intended to have teams being coached. We allow a parent/guardian to sit with the 3rd and 4th grade teams on the FIRST PLAY DATE to help with substitutions. Following that date, no parents/guardians will be allowed on or near the players’ bench area. The uniqueness of this league is that kids are allowed to run their own team. If obvious coaching is being done during the games, it should be brought to the attention of the site director.

  • If our scheduling work has not begun (generally 6-10 days prior to a play date), you can submit schedule conflict information.  The Primary Contact received an email with instructions for submitting schedule requests via our Primary Contact Portal.

    ONCE THE SCHEDULE IS BEING CREATED OR HAS BEEN POSTED, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ALTER IT. BE SURE TO GET YOUR REQUEST SUBMITTED 10 DAYS IN ADVANCE.

  • We don't place individuals on teams. However, we can let people know you are looking for a team and someone may contact you. Email us at Christy@3on3hoopshub.com with the following information:
    league(s) you are interested in playing in
    gender of player
    graduation year of player
    phone or email

    We will post this information on the specific league page(s) in the Free Agents section. Be sure to check the league page often to see if there are other players posted whom you can contact to play with your child.

  • Midwest 3 on 3’s mission is to create more 3 on 3 opportunities for young players. We have services that will assist individuals or associations who share our vision and are willing to put in the work to run a successful 3 on 3 basketball league. If you aren’t the person to host a league, let the right person or group know that Midwest 3 on 3’s services are available.
