This sport is an innovative derivative of traditional basketball, it began practicing on the street and is made up of two teams of 3 players on the court and one on the bench.
Lasting 10 minutes or less, if you can score 21 points, each game takes place on a court 11 meters wide and 15 meters long (half a normal basketball court), with a single hoop, what makes each team alternate the moments of defense and attack. It is necessary to clarify that, if in the term of 10 minutes no team has managed to score the regulation goals, the one with the highest score will win.
3x3 basketball first made a presence at the 2010 Singapore Youth Olympic Games, making its debut as an official sport at the Tokyo 2020 games.
