Jamaica’s contingent of players, coaches, a referee, and team manager are off to Nassau, Bahamas, where they will participate in the FIBA 3×3 Caribbean Development Camp and Cup, which tips off today.
The four-day event, staged in partnership with the Olympic Solidarity Programme, is part of FIBA’s ongoing push to strengthen the region’s high-performance pathway and accelerate the rapid growth of 3×3 basketball across the Caribbean.
Throughout the camp, participants will take part in a packed schedule featuring:
- Training sessions for U23 players of both genders
- Referee clinics
- Development activities for coaches
- Workshops for managers and coordinators
- A clinic and youth tournament for U15 players
The sessions, aimed at elevating the technical and developmental standards of the sport, will focus on core fundamentals, skill refinement, tactical awareness, physical conditioning, and updates to FIBA’s 3×3 rules.
As a climax to the program, an official FIBA 3×3 competition for men and women will run from December 11–13. Jamaica will compete alongside teams from the Cayman Islands, Trinidad & Tobago, Haiti, Saint Lucia, and hosts Bahamas.
The event comes after Jamaica’s participation at the 2025 FIBA 3×3 AmeriCup in Leon, Mexico in November. The men’s team advanced to the main draw after securing qualifying wins over Saint Lucia and Guyana before being eliminated in group play. The women’s team, meanwhile, fell to South American giants Brazil and perennial regional powerhouse USA, ending their run in the Pool A stage.
