From the courts in Groningen to the Paper Dome in Amsterdam, our 3X3 Leaders are leveling up!

Two weeks ago, over 20 Leaders dove headfirst into the world of Event Production.

Our Leaders learned:
- The “puzzle” of assembling a professional 3X3 court.
- Why teamwork is the only way to pitch a massive event tent.
- The professional skills needed to run a world-class tournament.

As one of our Leaders, put it: “If you don’t try it, you won’t learn it.”

Whether it’s learning the theory or getting hands-on with the gear, these young leaders are building more than events—they’re building their futures.

Next stop? Advanced training in March to master permits and team leadership. We’re getting ready for a massive summer at Street League, Pro Cups, and 3X3 Festival!

LEADERS OF UNITES NO. 128 - Doah Sanal
At just 16, Doah is chasing a dream that took years to discover. He played football. He tried handball. But the moment he watched his dad’s basketball training, something clicked.

That was HIS game.

Now standing at 1.94m, training 5 days a week, hitting the gym, and wearing his holy grail Kobe 9s that took him a YEAR AND A HALF of raffle entries to finally win.
(He only wears them on game days because they’re that special 😅)

Here’s his biggest lesson: start sooner. When he sees the skills those young kids at his club already have, he thinks about all the time he could’ve had. But regret? Nah. That just fuels him harder.

He went from barely talking to people to leading 3X3 sessions every Sunday. Basketball didn’t just teach him the game—it taught him how to connect, how to include everyone, how to show up.

And now? Try-outs in Turkey are coming up. If he makes it, he’s moving. Because for Doah, this isn’t just a hobby anymore.

This is everything.

LEADERS OF UNITES NO. 127 - Abel Ackon Mohammed
From Ghana to Amsterdam, his journey has been defined by one thing: the courage to start over.

Abel moved to the Netherlands at 16, leaving friends and a life behind in search of new opportunities. He wasn’t the most talented basketball player, and didn’t know a thing about cameras, but if there is one thing he has learned, it’s that effort outweighs talent every single time.

Through Abel found more than just a sport—he found a platform to grow. From learning how to lead and communicate with the youth to mastering the art of filmmaking at the Audio Visual Academy and Unites, every challenge has been a stepping stone.

Today, Abel is not just a student or a leader; He is contributor. His goal is to give back to the community that gave him a chance. To everyone out there doubting their start: stay persistent. The opportunity is there if you’re willing to put in the work.

Ever played 3x3… in the dark? 👀✨🏀

The Kanaleneiland 3X3 Leader Course end-event came to life with a glow-in-the-dark tournament, the moment where the group put their learnings into action and hosted an event for their own community. 💫

From planning to play, this night was about ownership, creativity and bringing people together. And yes.. there was plenty of playing, laughter and good energy along the way! 🔥
