FAQs
HOW DO I ADD OR EDIT A PLAYER TO A REGISTERED TEAM
Once you’ve submitted your registration you will not be able to get back in to edit it. Please email registration changes to tonycarter@drivebasketballacademy.net
WHAT IF WE HAVE SCHEDULE CONFLICTS?
If our scheduling work has not begun (generally 6-10 days prior to play date), you can submit your schedule conflict information. Please email specific schedule request to tonycarter@drivebasketballacademy.net and we will do our best to accommodate it.
ONCE THE SCHEDULE IS BEING CREATED OR HAS BEEN POSTED, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ALTER IT. BE SURE TO GET YOUR REQUEST SUBMITTED 10 DAYS IN ADVANCE via email.
WHERE IS THE REQUIRED LIABILITY WAIVER?
At the bottom of the Upcoming League page, there is a document titled "Waiver ". Please print and complete this so it is ready to turn in on the first night. This waiver needs to be completed by each players parent/guardian on the team before participating.
WHAT IS THE LEAGUE FORMAT LIKE?
Typically, each team will play two games per day/evening. Games will usually be 20 minutes running time and played on a half court. Games will be scored by a referee. Typically there is music playing and concessions available. We try to build the schedule so your team plays its two games within 90 minutes or less.
HOW DO I MAKE SURE I GET TO PLAY ON THE SAME TEAM AS MY FRIENDS?
You will need to register as a TEAM. You must have a minimum of 3 players and can have a maximum of 6 players. One player's parent/guardian will complete the on-line registration form. This person will be the Primary Contact for the team. Be prepared to enter roster information for each player (shirt size, graduation year, name, phone number, & email address) and to pay the complete team fee.
WHAT IF MY CHILD DOESN'T HAVE A TEAM BUT WANTS TO PLAY?
We don't place individuals on teams. However, we can let people know you are looking for a team and someone may contact you.

WHICH DIVISION DO WE REGISTER FOR?
Boys and girls divisions will be organized by grade level. Read the registration information carefully to be sure to enter the correct grade. Teams can certainly register to play in an older division if they feel the competition would be more appropriate. Keep in mind that many players in this league are not "A" level traveling basketball players. If your team is made up of players of varying grade levels, it is recommended that you sign up for the division that your oldest player qualifies for. We try our best to schedule teams to play appropriate competition. Much of it depends on you selecting the right division. We will watch scores and may schedule out of division games if scores indicate possible improved competition.
WHAT CONSTITUTES A FORFEIT?
We don't keep records or post standings. Our objective is to provide kids an opportunity to play basketball. Other teams don't appreciate showing up without an opponent to play. Teams should make every attempt to have at least three registered players present for each game. IF A TEAM IS GOING TO BE SHORT PLAYERS, THEY SHOULD FIND SUBS. If a team does not show up with enough players, the staff will try to find other players to fill in. If a substitute team can't be formed, the team that is present has rights to use the basket and court space during that slotted game time.
WHAT IF THERE AREN'T ANY LEAGUES NEAR ME?
DRIVE 3X3’s mission is to create more 3 on 3 opportunities for young players and provides services that will assist individuals or associations who are willing to put in the work to run a successful 3 on 3 basketball league.
Contact tonycarter@drivebasketballacademy.net to learn more.
WHAT ARE THE PHILOSOPHY AND RULES OF DRIVE 3x3?
This document is available via email. It will also be available on the first league date when your team picks up their shirts since various sites may have slightly different rules.
CAN WE HAVE A COACH?
NO. This league is NOT intended to have teams being coached. The uniqueness of this league is that kids are allowed to run their own team. If obvious coaching is being done during the games, it should be brought to the attention of the site director.
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
Refunds will be issued if requested via email prior to the registration deadline and will be reduced by a $10 administrative fee. Refunds will also be reduced $7 per t-shirt. No refunds will be issued after the registration closes.
HOW DO WE FIND OUR SCHEDULE?
Schedules will be emailed to team coordinator. We typically post schedules one week at a time about 5 days prior to a league date. This allows us to monitor game scores and make sure teams are playing the most appropriate competition possible.
HOW DO WE KNOW OUR STANDING IN OUR DIVISION?
We do not give awards to division winners. Instead, we try to match teams to the most appropriate competition. Teams who wish to play 3 on 3 in a format where the winners receive recognition should sign up for our one-day tournaments in the future.
WHAT LEAGUES ARE AVAILABLE?
Use our browse league link to search for leagues and tournaments in your area. You will find information on location of, cost of and dates for various upcoming events. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter. We will send out email reminders for upcoming events.
