TERRY INNISS wants to push the shorter format of the game on Barbados and, hopefully, the Caribbean.

Professional three-on-three basketball could eventually make its way into the region, as Inniss is set to introduce a local 3×3 competition next month with an eye to creating a pro Caribbean league.

The former Barbados Amateur Basketball Association president explained his vision earlier this week while announcing details for May’s Sunshine 3×3 League in Clapham.

“There’s no reason to play basketball in Barbados other than you like it, so this is an avenue where people can make some money. Our idea is to play three-on-three so we can enjoy the basketball and use that as the impetus to get people playing the sport,” Inniss reasoned.
