The BECAUSE WE CAN. 3×3 tournament is designed to break down internal and external barriers for female athletes. We empower girls to embrace new experiences and explore different opportunities on and off the court. We encourage players to embrace these new experiences with a positive and confident attitude. BECAUSE WE CAN. 3×3 tournaments are a safe space for athletes to try new skills in a formalized game environment. The nature of having fewer players on the court allows athletes to truly participate with more touches on the basketball, and to have more opportunities to be leaders and meet new friends.
*To achieve our 3×3 tournament goals of promoting autonomy, leadership, and confidence amongst girls at a young age, coaches and and any other attendees will not be allowed on the court; there will be seating upstairs overlooking the courts.*
