Jersey City 3-on-3 Basketball League

Why not an outdoor/indoor 3-on-3 basketball league to get you through the summer? Get more touches on the ball and just as much exercise in our co-ed or men's league. It's also much easier to get 4-5 of your friends to commit than 10-12!

How Does It Work?

Just like the name, it's 3-on-3. In our co-ed league, you need at least 1 woman on the court at all times. Each "match" is round-robin, 4 games 10-minute games against 2 opponents (with 1-minute overtime). Teams are awarded 3 points for every win and 1 point for every tie in the standings. The matches last 60 minutes. And we keep it exciting for everyone on the team through our four divisions (Players, Sorta Players, Casual and Extremely Casual).

What's the Cost and What's Included?

The Early Registration deadline is May 9th, with registration closing on May 23rd or earlier if the league sells out. Early Registration fees are $450 for a team of up to 6 players ($35 for each additional player over 6 - no limit to number of players on your roster) and $80 for individuals (we'll get everyone on a team). Regular Registration prices are $550 for a full team and $90 for individual players (after May 9th). ZogSportsNJ donates a percentage of our profit to charity.

	Scoring - Each regular field goal is worth 2 points. A successful shot from behind the 3-point arc (19’-9”) is worth 3 points (only when court is marked). Foul shots are worth 1 point. (After the game, the team that has the most fun wins)
	Each "match" is round-robin, 4 games 10-minute games against 2 opponents (with 1-minute overtime). Each game counts in the standings. (3 points for wins, 1 point for ties, 0 points for loses)
	Ball changes possession after each basket.
	Starting with the 6th foul, teams will shoot 2 foul shots (1 and 1 only if no 3-point line) with change of possession on a made 2nd shot or a live ball on a missed 2nd shot
