What is streetball?
Streetball is a variant of basketball and is therefore often called street basketball. Streetball or 3x3 are very trendy. It is an outdoor variant of the (classic) indoor basketball, in which usually three against three players play on one basket.
Rules in streetball
The rules in street basketball are simpler than the classic basketball rules. The most important rule is fair play, fairness and tolerance. Movement in a streetball game trains conflict ability and coping with frustration and thus trains body (back) and head (tolerance & conflict ability). It is played without a referee and is particularly popular with young people in Germany. If necessary, a so-called court observer can be used, whereby this should be an adviser and not an arbitrator. Street basketball is very dynamic due to the small number of players, short attack times (12 seconds per attack) and half the field and offers greater flexibility than classic basketball. The rules in street basketball are:
- 2 teams with three players each, as well as substitutes
- A coin toss is used to decide which team is the attacking team at the start of the game
- For each attack on a basket, a team has an attack time of 12 seconds to score
- The first possession of the ball is decided before the game by tossing a coin
- Before a basketball success, at least two players of the attacking team must have had the ball
- After each success in the basket, possession of the ball changes and the opposing team receives the street basketball for the throw
- After a basketball success, after fouls or fouled players and failures or a ball loss, there is a free throw from the two-point line. Behind this line, streetball basketball must first be checked out
- Fouled players announce the fouls, but fairness is expected at all times from the fouled player and opponent when a foul is displayed
- In jumping ball situations, the defender or opponent receives the street basketball. Even a dunk or a time game is not allowed in street basketball
- A basket success gives a point
- A game ends when a team has reached 16 points in the basketball game
