UW-Superior Hosting 3-on-3 Basketball Tourney This Spring

Basketball continues to grow in popularity. The NBA has never been more popular, and participation spans all age levels of recreational and school play.

Much like how flag football is growing in popularity as a fun alternative to traditional football, 3-on-3 basketball offers an enjoyable and easy entry point for those looking to experience the sport.

One Wisconsin college is capitalizing on this rise in popularity and hosting a 3-on-3 basketball tournament this spring, and it’s open to teams from across the community.
