We have seen a lot of skill growth and determination from all age groups throught the various leagues and internal tournaments."Enhancing competitivenessMubita emphasized the importance of regional competition in elevating the game.“The strength of Khomas and Oshana teams is clear, but as other regions compete against them, they gain valuable experience and improve. “Since the resumption after Covid, each year we see improvements in the tournament, the competition, and the players’ skill levels.”With top teams from across Namibia converging at the Unam Rundu campus, the Sanlam 3x3 tournament is set to be an exciting display of talent, teamwork, and competitive spirit.Age groups (males and females): U19 / Seniors (20-35 years) / Masters (35 and older).
