We are excited to announce we will offer a FIBA 3X3 Spring league in our community starting after Easter Weekend in April ending in early June.
Age Group Classifications
Under 10 are kids who were 9 years old and younger as of Dec 31st, 2021
Under 12 are kids who were 11 years old and younger as of Dec 31st, 2021
Under 14/16 Girls include girls that played U16 this season
Your child will receive one 1.5+hr session per week. Times and locations are still being worked on and will be updated here once they are firmed up (U10/U12 are mostly Saturdays, U14 will be a weeknight). U10's won't go the weekend of the Jamboree, and U12's will skip the weekend of Provincials.
Players will get a reversible Rockets Basketball Practice Jersey. If you have a reversible Rockets Practice jersey now - email your club coach for a coupon code.
3X3 is an exciting brand of basketball that anyone can play. We will base our play around the FIBA 3X3 Rules which can be found here
We will break up each session into practice and then finish the second half with games of 3x3. We’ll assemble teams based on skill sets and those teams could change during the sessions. We hope that toward the end we will firm up teams and finish with a tournament within your age and skill group.
Each age category will have focus on what are called FUNdamentals, as well as skills, rules of the game, and foundational fitness and recovery habits from one of the top female athletes that has come from Cole Harbour.
Each session will be broken into three sections; Intro & Warmup/FUNdamentals, Skills and Games, Active Play/Recovery.

A Bit About Coach Leah:
Leah Martin (Girdwood) was born and raised in Cole Harbour, Dartmouth. Bel Ayr Elementary school provided the courts for her to realize she had dreams. After reluctantly relocating to Ontario in grade 6, Leah was able to capitalize on the opportunities living near Toronto provided. “Rep” and travel teams that toured the states and many parts of Canada helped Leah gain experience, expertise and exposure. In an attempt to “move home ASAP”, Leah attended Dalhousie University with her twin sister Laurie Girdwood from 2005-2010. After this, Leah secured a professional playing contract in Samorin, Slovakia. After achieving this life long dream, Leah once again moved home to Nova Scotia. In 2012 She joined back on with the Dalhousie University Tigers as an assistant Coach, where she loyally donated her time and dedication to the program for another 9 years. During this time, Leah became a certified personal trainer; and quickly became a well-known name in the fitness industry in Nova Scotia managing 4 different fitness locations with GoodLife Fitness. Along with coaching heaps of summer camps, volunteer teams as well as high-performance teams, Leah is also a trained NCCP Train to Compete Coach, a certified MABO referee, and certainly not least a wife to husband Tim, and Mom to two young boys, Cole and Callum.
“Basketball is for everyone. You don’t have to want to make it to the pro’s to love this game. To soak up everything it can teach us. My wish is to share my time with community, to pass on my best habits, tips and lessons learned over my years as a professional athlete, personal trainer, and coach, to the grassroots generations. We have SO many wonderful kids in our community and surrounding area that will one day become our next leaders in the community. I want everyone to have fun at camp, to enjoy themselves, and to provide opportunities to learn and enjoy exploring what this great game has to offer!”
