The Rams Ecosystem
As a club we strongly believe that self-growth is just as important as developing your skills. We believe that the key to succeeding in basketball is by having the confidence, resilience and passion to move forward and strong meaningful relationships with other players & mentors. Through our programs such as our National 3x3Ready program for 5–12 year olds, through to our Elite Pathways, we provide safe & empowering environments to teach these important skills at the very start of their basketball journey and stay connected with the players so they can reach their full potential.
One of our priorities is to connect with smaller surrounding towns to deliver competitions and programs to their schools, public spaces and community members. Making sure smaller regional areas are staying active, healthy and are being offered the same opportunities as larger communities and cities.
We have direct contact with some of the highest regarded 3×3 players & coaches on a National & Global scale, officials and sporting club experts. We use these resources to develop & grow as a Basketball Club and provide the best service to our members.
This goes beyond just basketball.
Why 3X3
3×3 is a new & exciting form of the game of basketball that we at the Hamilton Rams firmly believe is a better way to play the sport.
In parts of Europe, many basketball clubs develop their athletes by playing 3×3 at a very young age right up until the age of 14. This is because 3×3 has all of the elements that foster skill development in basketball, simply allowing players to “actually play the game”. For most players this will come as a refreshing change.
In 3×3 there is on average 3-5X as many shots taken than in a typical game of basketball. This is because there is a 12 second shot clock & two less players on the floor. It promotes a spaced-out court & strongly encourages scoring & play with the ball in hand from each player on the court. What this means is that there is usually more actual play happening, which ultimately leads to more fun had, more development occurring, plenty of court time for everyone and happier players.
3×3 is now an Olympics and Commonwealth Games discipline and was introduced by FIBA, due to it’s ability to bring basketball to areas that otherwise wouldn’t have had access to it. The game is played outdoors, and can be activated almost anywhere, it requires far less space & facilities when compared with the traditional version of the game and is considered accessible and more affordable & inclusive by many.
