The 3x3 basketball as a facilitator for the positive development of young people
Abstract
Based on the hypothesis that sport can positively influence the development of young people, in this article through a bibliographical and documentary review, we seek to understand if and how Basketball 3x3 can contribute to this process. We note that the modality has characteristics that can facilitate its insertion in different places and contexts, which can motivate not only students / athletes to practice and engage in sports, but also teachers / coaches working in it. It is noteworthy that these professionals play an important role in the process of teaching, living and learning sports and consequently in the positive development of young people throughout their lives. Thus, we conclude that Basketball 3x3 has facilitators that favor the positive development of young people and that the teacher / coach is an important mediator in this process.
