3x3

Three by three

Half a court is not a lesser game. On islands where a full gym is rare, 3×3 is how basketball reaches a village and still obeys a real rulebook.

Why it matters here

A marked half-court, one hoop and a portable clock is a legal 3×3 venue. That is a realistic build for Nungwi, Makunduchi, Wete, Micheweni and Mkoani. The Federation adopts FIBA 3×3 playing rules for its series, and teaches them to referees instead of inventing a local version that cannot travel.

Island Series — draft

  • Open men, open women, U18 mixed-region
  • Stops in Urban West, North Unguja, South Unguja, Chake Chake and Wete
  • Winning stop qualifies a team of four to the Stone Town final weekend
  • National 3×3 pools are chosen from the series, not from a private coach’s notebook
  • One referee educator at every stop, so new officials get live minutes
  • Music stops during free throws and during any medical delay. It is still a sport.
