We are a young group of 4 basketball players from Slovenia (Europe) who wants to become the best 3×3 streetball team in the world.
We are aware that we are coming from the small country in Europe but nevertheless we have all the talent, desire and every chance to fulfil our goal. We are also professional 5on5 basketball players playing in Slovenian 1st division. Last year we have decided to become professionals in 3×3 basketball which is a form of basketball, only to be played on outdoor courts. Moreover, the rules are not so strict, which allows players to further warmed up the audience with an individual display of skills. Each team has four players, but only 3 can play at the same time. The game is played on one basket and the team with the highest score after 10 minutes wins. Streetbasketball has developed so quickly in the last years that it will be represented in the summer Olympic Games in 2020.
Our highest ranked player is Luka Snoj who is ranked as 24th player in the world. Despite our youth (aprox. 23 years old) we had a great season last year. We were the youngest team at the 3×3 World Tour in Lausanne which is the biggest 3×3 basketball event in Europe. We have finished at 7th place loosing to Vilnus, Lithuania only by two points, who later become a champion. Through our season we achieved excellent result in Europe and other countries. We have won numerous 3×3 tournaments and achieved great results in countries as Switzerland, Denmark, Russia, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy..etc
Our day usually starts at the gym where we have shooting training or skill drills. At the afternoon we play 3on3. Our goal this year is to become the best 3×3 basketball team in the world and our biggest future goal is to participate at the 2020 Olympics and win the gold medal! We need your help to make our dreams come true. We need a certain amount of money to be able to compete on tournaments all around the world (China, Philippines, Canada, Russia..etc.) and to cover our costs of travelling, living and training.
