Grace Berger to Participate in 2024 USA Basketball 3×3 Women’s National Team Development Camp

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Nov. 4, 2024) – USA Basketball announced today that 13 athletes are expected to participate in the 2024 USA Basketball 3×3 Women’s National Team development camp Nov. 8-10 in Phoenix. The participants were selected by the USA Basketball Women’s 3×3 National Team Committee and will be considered for future USA 3×3 national team assignments.

The camp features athletes who bring a combination of USA Basketball (5-on-5, 3×3), professional and collegiate experience.

Participating athletes include Shakira Austin, Grace Berger, Rae Burrell, Emily Engstler, Natasha Howard, Abbey Hsu, Taylor Mikesell, Alissa Pili, Jaylyn Sherrod, Maddy Siegrist, Azurá Stevens, Sug Sutton, and Brittney Sykes.

Camp will be led by Sydney Johnson, who has served USA Basketball in multiple capacities since 2020, including leading the 2023 USA 3×3 Men’s U23 World Cup team to the gold medal.

Different than 5-on-5, 3×3 is played on a half-court with a 10-minute game clock and 12-second shot clock. Play is continuous, as teams “clear” the ball behind the 2-point line following a made basket, defensive rebound, or steal. The first team to score 21 points via 1-point field goals or 2-pointers behind the arc is victorious; or if time expires then the team leading wins.
