About

Welcome to the 3on3 Hoops Nation

3on3 Hoops Nation is a growing community of coaches, parents, and players who believe 3on3 basketball is the most effective, engaging, and overlooked way to develop young athletes.

Born out of our podcast, the 3on3 Hoops Pod, this “nation” is more than just listeners — it’s a movement of people who care about better basketball, better coaching, and better environments for kids.

'The Nation' is a content and community platform dedicated to growing the sport of 3on3 basketball in the U.S., spotlighting programs, coaches, and players shaping the future.

The 5 Pillars:

Development Over Hype

We believe real development happens through touches, reps, and decision-making (not on a highlight reel).
Community Over Ego

We’re building a nationwide movement, not just running drills. If you’re in the 3on3 space, we want to shine a light on your work.
Smarter Hoopers Start Here

3on3 basketball builds IQ, confidence, and connection faster than any other format. And we’re here to prove it.
This Is Bigger Than One League

3on3 Hoops Nation includes coaches, creators, trainers, and program leaders from around the world, helping shape the future of youth basketball together.
Play Different. Think Different.

If you want to play the game the right way, develop the right way, and grow the right way — welcome to the Nation.
