Get ready Tennant Creek – the popular National Indigenous 3on3 Basketball and Hip Hop Challenge – the Vibe 3on3® is heading your way on Wednesday 4th June 2014.
The Deadly Vibe Group produces the Vibe 3on3®, a travelling sport and music festival that brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and non-Indigenous students for a fun day of basketball, dancing and music.
The event encourages sportsmanship, teaches new skills and builds self-esteem, as well as promoting reconciliation at a grassroots level.
Students compete in teams of 4-5 players at the Vibe 3on3® in a range of activities. The action packed event features a 3on3 basketball tournament, rapping and break dancing lessons, art workshops, and a dance competition. There is also a health expo, all accompanied by a backing track of the latest RnB, hip-hop and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music.
The 3on3 also features an opening ceremony and a free healthy breakfast and BBQ lunch.
To participate, young people need to pre-register in teams of four or five through their school by Wednesday, 28th May 2014.
