Under the new 2023-2027 Executive, the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Basketball Federation (SVGBF) organizes its first 3×3 Fundraising Competition. The competition will be place at the New Montrose Basketball Facility, with 8 registered teams competing under the newest International Basketball Federation (FIBA) standards. The doors open at 3:30 p.m., and the games begin at 4:00 p.m.
Suzette Jackson, the newly elected SVGBF President, and Wayne Williams, the 3×3 Coordinator, both emphasize the importance of 3×3 games in the development of basketball in the country. Jackson and the members of the SVGBF declare that their goal is to make basketball a popular and relevant sport in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 3×3 competitions, 5×5 tournaments, workshops, and technical advancement are all on the agenda.
The competition will begin with qualifying games: Heat Seekers vs. South Rivers, Mavrix vs. Playaz, Sandy Bay vs. Blue Chip, and TMAC vs. Union Island – all of which are the outcomes of the Draw, which took place on Saturday, July 8th. In this one-day competition, winning teams will progress to the Semi-Finals and then to the Finals.
