In 2022, our team will be in its fifth year of establishment, marking a milestone year. Three-player basketball is becoming more popular at home and abroad, and the competitive population is increasing day by day.
In 2021 last year, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, activities were restricted due to the inability to do what we wanted, but even under such circumstances, we held various events, participated in competitions, and 3×3 world in our hometown of Karatsu City. It was a very exciting year, with the No. 1 powerhouse, the Republic of Serbia, holding a pre-camp. In addition, the domestic three-player professional basketball league “3×3.EXE PREMIER” also presented “3×3 TOWN AWARD” to the team that “performed 3×3 activities rooted in the community and livened up the hometown”. And the team’s achievements and activities so far were highly evaluated.
