Central Iowa Sports 3v3 Basketball League is a league for the players. This is an opportunity to enjoy basketball in a fun and low stress environment while still learning and developing their skills. We encourage good competition and good sportsmanship during our 3v3 league. We ask that coaches do not “coach” the teams during play. Let the kids go out and learn on their own and have fun!

3v3 Basketball League Rules

1. Teams and Court

  • 3 players per team on the court.

  • Each team may have 1 or 2 substitutes.

  • Played on a half-court using one basket.

2. Game Duration

  • Games last 2 halves of 10 minutes running time.

  • 1-minute halftime break.

  • Clock stops only on timeouts or injury.

3. Scoring

  • 2 points for any basket made inside the arc.

  • 3 points for any basket made outside the arc.

  • 1 point for free throws.

4. Starting and Restarting Play

  • A coin toss decides who starts with the ball.

  • After a made basket, the other team checks the ball at the top (behind the arc).

  • After a rebound or steal, the ball must be “cleared” (taken behind the arc) before trying to score. No stealing when a team is trying to clear the ball.

5. Substitutions

  • Can be made during dead-ball situations (after a whistle).

  • Players must check in with the referee.

6. Shot Clock

  • No official shot clock.

  • Encourage teams to take a shot within 20 seconds to keep the game moving.

7. Fouls

  • All personal fouls count as team fouls.

  • After 5 team fouls, the other team shoots 1 free throw on each foul.

  • No disqualification for players who foul out (unless behavior is unsafe).

8. Defense

  • No trapping or double-teaming (to develop individual skills).

  • Stay within arm’s reach on defense — no excessive contact.

9. Sportsmanship

  • Show respect to teammates, opponents, and referees.

  • Coaches and parents are expected to promote positive encouragement.
