3 On 3 Rules Of Play

 

A coin flip prior to the game will determine first possession of the ball.

  1. Each game will be to 21 points or 12 minutes; whichever team is ahead at 12 minutes will win.
  2. Teams score by either regular two-point baskets, or by three-point shots taken from outside the three-point circle.
  3. After a basket has been scored or a foul called, a player must put the ball in play from a line past the three point line above the foul key.
  4. All held balls will be put into play behind the three point line with possession given alternately to each team.
  5. On defensive rebounds or steals, players must return the ball by dribble or pass across the three point line before a basket may be attempted. Once across the line, they do not have to pass the ball before shooting.
  6. Any player may convert an offensive rebound.
  7. After a basket, the team scored upon will put the ball in play. (no make-it-take-it.)
  8. Fouls will be called by referees. A foul called in the act of shooting will result in either two or three points being awarded to the team which was fouled, depending on where the player was fouled. A non-shooting foul will result in the award of one point to the offended team. There is no bonus situation for fouls.
  9. The three second free throw lane rule will apply to all offensive players.
  10. Substitutions may be made after a basket or an out of bounds play.
  11. There are no time outs.
  12. Time will not be stopped to discuss any call.
  13. If the game ends in a tie after regulation time there will be a two minute overtime period. Possession will be determined by a coin toss. Ties at the end of any overtime period will result in successive one minute periods until the tie has been broken, with possession alternating each overtime period.
  14. When applicable NCAA rules will apply.
  15. Slow Play: There will be no shot clock. However, it is a violation to “stall” or attempt to “freeze” the ball during play. Teams are      expected to develop their own pace of play and maintain this throughout the contest. Holding the ball or stalling will result in a turnover to the opposition.

3 on 3 Tournament in Dripping Springs

 

Dripping Springs Basketball Tournament
What: Trip To Drip 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament

Where: Dripping Springs Middle School 111 Tiger Lane Dripping Springs, TX 78620

When: Saturday, March 28, 2015 (YOU NEED TO REGISTER ASAP FOR TSHIRTS AND TO GET IN…IT WILL SELL OUT)

Who: 4th thru 8th Grade, Boys and Girls, 4 players per roster… Benefiting The DS Kids Fun Foundation

Why: Great Cause & 3 on 3 is a great time with tons of learning principles

How To Register: DSKids 2015 Basketball Tournament Flyer (1) for more info or to share flyer

DS Kids 2015 Basketball Tournament Registration Rules Liability for registration

Austin Youth Basketball is proud to sponsor the Trip To Drip 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament.  The tournament benefits the Dripping Springs Fun  For Kids Foundation (http://www NULL.dskidsfunfoundation NULL.org/).  This organization has done a great job supporting some of the kids who have made it thru our basketball camps and academies.  Their mission is to provide financial assistance to children in the Dripping Springs Community who would otherwise be unable to participate in extracurricular activities (ex: DSYSA, DSISD Community Education, music lessons, dance classes, etc.) due to financial constraints. Our goal is to help not only low-income families, but also children whose families are temporarily working through financial constraints due to situations such as serious illness, job loss, or divorce.

Basically, they manage the process of helping families and organizations like ours split the “scholarship” between DS Fun for Kids, the family, and us… thereby greatly reducing the cost of sports for a family that might have hit tight times.

DS Fun For Kids has a great relationship with Dripping Springs Youth Sports Association (http://www NULL.dsysa NULL.org/) who is helping put the tournament on and we all know how highly I think of this group.  In fact, let me use this sounding board to thank all the great parent coaches, referees, DSYSA leadership, John Johnson, wonderful parents, opposing players, and especially OUR HOOSIERS TEAM (Ellie, Alli, Lucy, Ainsley, Lesia, Kaitlyn, Reid, Leah & Coach Swaggy) for a spectacular basketball season.  As a professional basketball trainer I get to see many things that are wrong in youth sports (including me on bad days,) but I saw so many wonderful things every Basketball Saturday.

More importantly, this Trip To Drip basketball tournament went off last year and we heard what a great time it was from all the kids.  Three on Three is a great teaching tool that we often use in our training to teach:

  • Movement without the ball
  • Cutting to the basket
  • Eyes up play
  • Defensive accountability
  • Communication
  • Encourages Dribble Drive
  • Increased involvement to reduce “wallflowering.”
  • Want to know more about the benefits of 3 on 3 in basketball training – check out this article from my friend Rich Stoner.  (http://www NULL.richstoner NULL.com/3-on-3-the-key-to-teaching-team-basketball)

We will be there to enjoy the festivities and can’t wait to see you.

 Camp Director Chris Corbett is known as Austin’s best shooting coach and has designed this clinic to review shooting fundamentals, discuss in – season shooting tweaks and also to share slump busting tips and confidence builders.  And tons of reps… getting buckets!

 

This is not a factory type camp.  We are focused on a strict review and repetition of the fundamentals of great shooting:

  • The Importance of “Ready on the Catch”

  • Hand Position on The Basketball

  • Being Assertive and Conveying Openness to Teammates (Without Being A Pest)

  • Intuitive System for Determining Whether to Shoot or Not

  • Why Footwork is The Real Key To Shot Preparation

  • The Importance of Legs in Developing Consistency and Extending Range

  • Follow Thru – Taking Ownership of This Critical Skill

  • Takeaway Plan For Your Season

  • Fun- Bring the Fun Back To Shooting

There will be contests, music, prizes and The Introduction of 10 Shooting Drills.  Players should expect to get up hundreds of shots and reinforce fundamentals critical to their shooting success this season.

Most players are not working on their shots as school practices are typically devoted to conditioning, offensive plays, traps, and schemes.  Be the player who makes the offensive scheme work.  Knock down open shots with a level of consistency that inspires your team and coach.
