3x3 Basketball League & Academy
More Confidence. More Playing Time. More Shots. More Fun.

Is your child barely touching the ball during games?

Standing in the corner...
Waiting for someone else to make a play...
Losing confidence because they don't get enough opportunities?

You're not alone.

Many young players simply don't get enough game reps to improve.

That's why we created the Hoops for Christ 3x3 League—a competitive, fast-paced league where every player is involved every possession.

What Makes Our League Different?

Unlike traditional 5-on-5 basketball...

🏀 Every player gets more shots.

🏀 Every player gets more touches.

🏀 Every player plays.

🏀 Every player makes decisions.

🏀 Every player builds confidence.

Every session players are guaranteed 4-5 competitive tournament-style games, giving them more meaningful game reps in one evening than many players get in an entire weekend tournament.

Instead of standing around, players are constantly attacking, passing, cutting, communicating, and learning how to play the game with confidence.

Your Child Will Leave With...

✅ More confidence

✅ Better basketball IQ

✅ Faster decision-making

✅ Better spacing and teamwork

✅ More aggressive play

✅ More game experience

✅ A greater love for basketball

Our goal isn't simply to play games. It's to help players become confident, decisive basketball players that coaches trust.

Basketball Players & Parents 🏀 Watch this free workshop:

"How to standout in Basketball Tryouts & Earn coaches trust"

One of the biggest mistakes I see players make before tryouts is thinking:

“I need to score a lot to stand out.” Not True...

I've played professionally, trained thousands of players and spent years around coaches of all levels. And there are things coaches notice at tryouts that have very little to do with how many points your child scores.

Does your player communicate?
Do they defend?
Do they bring energy?
Can they handle pressure?
How do they respond after a turnover?
Are they coachable?
Can the coach TRUST them?

Here's a few tips to help you prepare for your upcoming basketball tryouts & preseason practices.

Louisville families —if you're realizing:
“My child needs more than a few tips. They need a plan, coaching, development and mentorship.”

That's exactly what we're building in our next:

Did you know Basketball was created by a preacher & the original purpose was to be a ministry that developed the mind, body, spirit & soul?

This is why I consider myself a “Basketball Missionary”, not just a coach or trainer. I was recently invited on Ruslan’s podcast to share the “Origins of Basketball” story. I consider it vital & extremely important this next generation knows the truth & treats the game as their ministry as well:


・・・
The origins of basketball are deeply rooted in a Christian worldview, evangelical ministry, and character development. Dr. James Naismith was a theologically trained Presbyterian minister who specifically invented the game as a tool to share the gospel and build moral character in young men. Muscular Christianity” in the late 19th century, Naismith was heavily influenced by a movement called Muscular Christianity.

Originating in England, this philosophy rejected the idea that religious life should be strictly passive or intellectual. Instead, it taught that the body and soul are connected: Physical fitness, discipline, and competitive sports could be used to instill Christian virtues like teamwork, self-control, and integrity.

Join us Labor Day, 9/7 in Louisville for the “Point Guard Clinic & College Basketball Workshop” with former UofL & NBA/Pro Point Guard Joseph Trey Lewis Joseph Lewis III 🏀🧪

Here are 5 Ways to Handle Pressure in a game:

1. Protect the ball: Keep your body between the defender and the ball. Do not expose the ball. Use your off-arm as a shield.

2. Change your speed & pace: Slow down & continue to change your speeds. Make the defender stay off balance & guess.

3. Draw Fouls: Use they’re aggression against them, create contact and force them to foul you. Don’t avoid their physicality.

4. Make the simple play: Keep your head up & make the right pass or play. Do not try to prove anything, play smart.

5. Call for a screen: Bring a teammate over. Use their body to block the aggressive defender & create space.
