The Urdd 3x3 basketball tournament is back for the 2019/20 season, bigger and better with a tournament in North and South Wales.
Following last year’s successful inaugural competition held in Cardiff, the Urdd have decided to make sure that pupils in North Wales also get to take part in a fast, furious and fun tournament.
The competition is open to all secondary schools in Wales for pupils in years 7 to 9, made up of 5 team members…boys, girls or mixed.
The South Wales tournament will be held in Cardiff at the National Wales Sports Centre on Wednesday 4 December 2019 and the North Wales Tournament will be held on 6 February 2020 at the Plas Coch Sport Centre, Wrexham.
Keith Mair, Basketball Wales Chairman said:
“We were delighted when the Urdd asked us to work with them on a new basketball competition for schools. The are a well respected and inspirational organisation working across Wales.
I am hoping that more schools get involved this year, especially given the rise in popularity of this version of the game.
I look forward to going along to see the children compete when the tournament in in my hometown of Wrexham”.
