The Sport Manitoba Courts (aka Canada Games Sport for Life Centre) located in downtown Winnipeg

Inside the Sport Manitoba Cpoirts (aka Canada Games Sport for Life Centre).  
The facility features 3 full hardwood basketball courts and room for 10 3x3 halfcourts.  Learn more...

 

Exciting, urban and innovative, 3x3 is inspired by several forms of streetball played worldwide and is considered the world’s number one urban team sport. Steered by FIBA, games see two teams of three players face off on a basketball half-court.  On June 9, 2017, 3x3 was added to the Olympic Program, starting from the Tokyo 2020 Games.

3x3 is simple and flexible enough to be played anywhere by anybody. All you need is a hoop, a half-court and six players. Events can be staged outdoors and indoors in iconic locations to bring basketball directly to the people.

Canada Basketball, in working with FIBA, will regulate the rules of the game, facilitate the promotion of the discipline and sanction the organization of 3x3 tournaments with the support of the Provincial Sporting Organizations.
