South West Sydney Academy of Sport says three teams from its 3×3 basketball program will compete at the NBL 3×3 Hustle National Championships in Geelong, Victoria, April 14-16.
The academy will be sending a team of four self-funded athlete representatives in the 18 Girls, 18 Boys, and 14 Boys Divisions to compete against fellow 3×3 teams from around the nation.
Following on from a successful Christmas Clash national qualification tournament in Gosford in late December, where the South West 18 Boys took out the event, the 18 Girls received automatic qualification for Geelong.
The 14 Boys performed exceptionally well at the Sutherland Surf Clash in January, where they earned themselves a wildcard invitation directly from NBL Hustle.
With the success of the 3×3 Basketball Program in 2023-24, and the support of Sharp EIT Solutions, the academy is now looking ahead to build upon that success in within its mainstream basketball program in the years ahead.
If you wish to get behind its first ever 3×3 Nationals-bound teams, please contact the academy office via media@swsas.org.au for more information.

Games are 10 minutes in length, or the first team to score 21.
This format allows teams to play in a multiple number of games in a short period of time.
3×3 provides the perfect format for corporate partners to experience the exhilaration of 3×3 Basketball, as well as provide a great business networking opportunity.
