RECAP: Under Armour 3×3 Championships

Last September 29, LGU Binalonan Team A (Boys Category) and Chiang Kai Shek Team B (Girls Category) landed first place in the Under Armour Philippines 3×3 that was helf at the Moro Lorenzo Gym in Ateneo de Manila University. The National Finals was composed of the program’s Top 24 booys’ teams and Top 6 girls’ teams that qualified after two months of training and competition. The players were blessed to have been given the opportunity to compete and show their wares from the rigorous training.

“We really learned a lot. Especially when it comes to working together as a team and how we communicate inside the court.” Jazzy Garcia, SPCP

With 3-on-3 becoming one of the fastest growing sports for the youth, Under Armour organized several clinics to better equip players for the sport. What sets Under Armour’s program apart from many others is its focus on the rules, gameplay, and the skills needed to successfully play 3-on-3 basketball. To ensure quality learning,  over 30 coaches have been trained in the program’s 3-on-3 style of play and skill development. They later reached out to various schools and communities to share their knowledge with enthusiasts aged 17 and below.

While we are familiar with UA’s innovations in sportswear, they’ve also shown their faith in homegrown athletes and stars like Stephen Curry. They’ve given young athletes a program to learn the essentials of the sport en route to becoming world-class athletes.
