The fast-paced, high-octane world of 3x3 basketball is set to take over the Bermuda College Gymnasium this month, with registration now officially open for one of the most anticipated community sporting events of the year.
Scheduled for May 9th, 2026, the tournament is being billed as "more than just a game." While the on-court action promises to be fierce, the primary objective is a philanthropic one: all proceeds from the event will directly fund the Bermuda Under-17 and Under-19 National Teams as they prepare for a high-profile international tour to Portugal this summer.
The tournament features a comprehensive range of divisions, ensuring a platform for every level of the game. Youth prospects will battle it out in the Under-17 categories for both boys and girls, while the Adult divisions are expected to draw the island’s top domestic talent. For the seasoned veterans, a Masters (Men’s) division has been included, promising a display of tactical experience and enduring competitive spirit.
"This is a call to action for the entire basketball community," an organiser stated. "It’s an opportunity to get your squad together, bring the energy, and—most importantly—help support the future of Bermuda basketball. Every registration fee goes toward ensuring our young national players can represent the island on the world stage in Europe."
Teams can enter for a fee of $300, with the investment going toward a critical development pathway for the island's elite youth players. The trip to Portugal is seen as a vital building block for the national programme, offering exposure to European coaching styles and high-level international competition.
With spots expected to fill quickly, squads are encouraged to secure their place immediately. Registration is currently live at www.bermudabasketball.net, where fans and players can also find further details on the day’s schedule and supporting the national team's journey.
