League Details

 

How Does It Work?

Just like the name, it's 3-on-3. You'll play a three-team round robin format. Each "match" is a 6-game round-robin, in which each team plays 4 10-minute games against 2 opponents. Teams are awarded 3 points for every win and 1 point for every tie in the standings. And we keep it exciting for everyone on the team through our two divisions (Sorta Players and Casual).

What's the Cost and What's Included? 

Early/regular registration will open May 3rd/May 15th and close May 14th/May 28th or earlier if the league sells out. League fees are $500/$600 for a team of 6 players ($35 for each additional player over 6 - no limit to number of players on your roster) and $79/$89 for individuals (we'll get everyone on a team). ZogSportsNJ donates a percentage of our profit to charity.



Fee includes:

 

  • 6 regular season matches and 1 scrimmage match
  • One head referee/game
  • A heart-wrenching single elimination playoff tournament (50% of teams qualify)
  • One t-shirt per person on the roster
  • Gym/Court fees
  • "Prize Money" from our sponsors donated to the winning team's charity of choice
  • League administration
  • Organized Happy Hours at local bars after the games

When Does It Start and When Are the Games?

The season kicks off early to mid June.

The league will run on Wednesday evenings with games going from 8:00-10:30pm. Each team will have one game per week. 

Where Are We Playing? 

All games will be played at the Jersey City Boys & Girls Club located at Grand St. & Grove St.

Please note that game times, location and dates mentioned ablove are a very good guideline, but may change slightly.

What Are the Rules? 

This is a fun recreational league. So we want everyone to play, stay involved and stay safe. The key rules are:

  • 3 on 3
  • Scoring - Each regular field goal is worth 2 points. A successful shot from behind the 3-point arc (19’-9”) is worth 3 points. Foul shots are worth 1 point.
  • Six 10-minute games/match involving 3 teams. Each team plays the other 2 teams twice for a total of 4 games. Each game counts in the standings. (3 points for wins, 1 point for ties, 0 points for loses)
  • Ball changes possession after each basket.
  • Starting with the 6th foul (or second foul inside of the final minute), teams will shoot 2 foul shots with change of possession on a made 2nd shot or a live ball on a missed 2nd shot
  • Must take the ball behind the 3-point line on change of possession.
  • Discretionary 30-second shot clock rule.
  • For full set of rules, see link at top of page.

Levels of Play 

 

  • Sorta Players - Pretty good athletes, maybe played together before, but still social and laid back.
  • Casual Division - This is the fun division. It's for you if you're looking more for the social than the competition or consider yourself a beginner at the organized game.

ZogSportsNJ will try to accommodate all team and individual player requests for Division, but cannot guarantee all requests. We will not place a team or player more than 1 division (above or below) their original request.
