3v3 Basketball on the Gold Coast: what to expect
3v3 basketball is the fastest growing format in world basketball, and it's built for social play. Half court, one hoop, first to 21 or the clock, and no hiding at the back waiting for the fast break. With only three a side, everyone handles the ball, everyone shoots, and games stay short enough to play several in a night. It's perfect for ex-players who miss the game but not the running, and for beginners who want touches instead of spectating.
How SportUP 3v3 basketball comps will work
When 3v3 basketball launches on the Gold Coast, it'll run like every SportUP comp: one night a week, short seasons, refs and gear sorted, tunes on, and a ladder that matters just enough. Book as a team or join solo and we'll find you one. We already run social comps across the Gold Coast. The first 3v3 basketball venue will go wherever the waitlist is strongest, so rope in mates from your end of the coast.
And every comp is backed by our Pinky Promise. If you don't absolutely love your first game, we'll find you a better fit, cover your next game free, or give your money back.
3v3 Basketball Gold Coast FAQs
When will 3v3 basketball start on the Gold Coast?
As soon as the waitlist is big enough to fill a first season, usually 6 to 8 teams' worth of players. Every signup genuinely moves it forward, and waitlist members hear first, before we announce it anywhere else.
Do I need a team to play 3v3 basketball on the Gold Coast?
No. Join the waitlist solo, and when we launch you can book as an individual and we'll place you in a team. Plenty of our current players started exactly that way.
How is 3v3 different from normal basketball?
Half court with one hoop, three players a side, and a shot clock that keeps things moving. Baskets are worth 1 and 2 instead of 2 and 3. Games are quick, so a night of 3v3 means multiple games, not one long slog.
Can I join 3v3 basketball with only two mates?
That's exactly a team. Squads of three or four work best, so grab two or three mates, or join solo and we'll build you a squad.
How much will 3v3 basketball cost?
Pricing is locked in at launch, but SportUP comps usually work out around the cost of a takeaway meal per game, with refs, venue and gear included. The waitlist gets pricing and first pick of spots before anyone else.
Where in Gold Coast will 3v3 basketball be played?
We already run social comps across the Gold Coast. The first 3v3 basketball venue will go wherever the waitlist is strongest, so rope in mates from your end of the coast.
Can't wait that long?
Fair enough. We already run netball, basketball, soccer and volleyball comps every week on the Gold Coast. Solo or with a team, there's a spot if you want one.
