With its endorsement as an Olympic sport, 3x3 basketball is booming – both here in Australia and around the world. Now 3x3 basketball is coming to Eurobodalla.

Eurobodalla Council’s coordinator of recreation said the Batemans Bay foreshore was the ideal location to showcase the sport – with its half court and just one basket – to locals.

“We’ve two 3x3Hustle events coming to the Clyde River,” Mr Neason said.

“The games are fast and exciting and we’ll have some top-level competition with the pro event on Saturday 20 of February.

“We’ve already locked away Aussie men’s number one Lucas Walker, as well as other ranked players. In the women’s games Abby Cubillo and Alex Delaney from the Canberra Capitals headline the registrations.

“It’s perfect weekend entertainment; watch and learn from some of the best in the country.”

Mr Neason said locals wanting to try their hand hadn’t been forgotten, with a weekend of age-group games, ranging from under 12s to under 18s, on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February.

“Of course, we welcome spectators for both the professional games and the local carnival,” Mr Neason said.

“The events are part of a larger strategy to bring more activity and life to the Batemans Bay town centre - they showcase what this town has to offer and drive more traffic to local business.”

The 3x3 events form part of a wider Streets as Shared Spaces project, funded by the NSW Government. For more information on the pro event or to sign up an age-group team, visit www.esc.nsw.gov.au/events or contact Matt Neason on 4474 7438.
