Are you ready to #RepThe616 for your neighborhood park this summer?

Yes, you say? Grand Rapids, we’re ready for you!

The GR3 League is a local community-based, park-centric 3-on-3 casual, co-ed basketball league that pits Grand Rapids’ neighborhoods head-to-head in friendly competition with a focus on growing personal and business relationships, building rapport through hoops and having a couple pints with new friends afterward at a local establishment all for the good of our local youth basketball and sports programs and maintaining our City Park basketball courts.

Fill out the form below to let us know who you are, where you play and if you’d like to be a part of our inaugural season in the summer of 2019?
