Exciting 3×3 Basketball Tournament Hits Guildford Town Centre This Family Day Weekend
Get ready, families! The Vancouver Bandits and Basketball BC are hosting the inaugural 3×3 Clutch basketball tournament at Guildford Town Centre, running from February 13 to February 16, 2026. This unique event takes place in a shopping centre—marking the first of its kind in British Columbia. With around 250 young athletes from across the Lower Mainland expected to compete, the atmosphere will be vibrant and filled with energy. Children aged 12 to 14 in both boys' and girls' divisions will showcase their skills on a specially constructed court, inviting spectators to cheer them on for free!
Why 3×3 Basketball is Gaining Popularity
This fast-paced version of the traditional basketball game requires fewer players on the court, allowing each athlete more chances to engage with the ball and score. It’s no wonder it drew such immense interest that it even made its Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games! The 3×3 Clutch tournament is a great way to increase awareness of this exciting format, and the involvement of the Vancouver Bandits underpins their commitment to grow the game within the local community.
