One of our coaches asked for a FIBA 3x3 training resource for a youth fall league he’s running. Sharing this tutorial for everyone: 👉 Watch the FIBA 3x3 tutorial At SAVI, we highly recommend 3x3 as the primary game youth players use to learn basketball. Here are three reasons: 1. Continuous transition Players constantly switch between offense and defense. Fewer resets mean more opportunities to recognize a change and react. 2. More space. Clearer reads. With fewer players sharing the floor, players have more room to see advantages, attack space, and make decisions. 3. Speed is built into the game. The 12-second shot clock creates urgency. Players have to recognize, decide, and act quickly. We use the game to teach the game. 3x3 gives players more opportunities to do exactly that. Who’s already using 3x3 in practices or running a youth league? If you'd like to come check out our 7-day free trial for full membership, we'll talk about this on next week's live training.

Rookie here - I coach girls at a small private school. Our kids will always play other sports. Could this offensive system help if our practice time is limited? I've noticed I already teach some similar concepts as what I've seen here in the few videos I've watched. Wondering if going deeper would even be a benefit given my context.

The foundation of SAVI is simplicity. Here are three simple examples you can implement TODAY: 1️⃣ Start with Why Before introducing a drill or game, give players the objective first. When they know why they’re doing something, it connects to what they already know and boosts understanding. 2️⃣ Use Echo Calls When starting anything, have players echo the name together. This helps: - Reinforce the goal of the next activity 🧩 - Build communication habits 📣 - Increase energy in the gym ⚡ 3️⃣ Plus-One Teaching Instead of overloading players with multiple points, teach 1 thing at a time. Get them organized, start the drill, observe, then stop and add just 1 key correction — your “plus one.” 🎯 Keep it simple and your players’ learning and energy will skyrocket!
