Under 6 foot Basketball Competition
Why should the tall guys have all the fun? Everyone should be able to play above the rim! After years of frustration as a basketball player under 6 feet tall, Michael Clarke decided to do something about it and create a league where guards can post up, be on the receiving end of an alley-oop, and finish a drive to the hoop with a jam.
U6F Basketball is an innovative new league for adult, male basketball players under 6 feet tall in Western Australia. Here's the basic concept:
* players must be 182cm tall or less in their playing shoes
* games will be half-court, 3-on-3
* the rings will be lowered to 9 feet
* a size 6 ball will be used
These variations to the regular game will level the playing field. They will effectively add a foot to each player's height and allow them to grip the ball like the tall guys. Initially, elite players will be targeted to ensure a high standard of play. Preference will be given to players who are registered with an SBL/WABL club. Teams will need between 3 and 6 players while also providing a scorer for each game.
