A DECADE OF DEVELOPMENT.

The game reveals who you are. Our training reveals who you can become. At 3Di, we use elite competition to develop men who lead through action and character. This isn't just basketball training—it's life preparation through the discipline of sport.

Core principles.

Basketball builds the player, but values build the person. Our four pillars—Deen, Determination, Discipline, and Identity—form the foundation of everything we do at 3Di Athletics, creating a system that develops complete athletes who excel both on the court and in life.

Deen

Deen, meaning “way of life,” shapes the foundation of our approach. We believe that character defines a person’s faith, and we strive to instill values that extend beyond the game. While 3Di is open to all religions and cultures, our camps and events emphasize respect, integrity, and personal growth—helping athletes develop a mindset that serves them in sports and in life.

Determination

Talent alone isn’t enough—determination separates those who dream from those who achieve. We foster an environment where confidence and perseverance are non-negotiable, ensuring that every athlete uplifts those around them while pushing themselves to improve. Especially in minority communities, determination fuels resilience, empowering young athletes to overcome challenges and believe in their potential.

Discipline

Greatness requires discipline, and we instill the habits that build champions. From maintaining healthy routines to showing up on time and respecting others, we teach athletes that success is earned through consistent effort. As Muhammad Ali once said, “Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.” At 3Di, we embrace that mindset every day.

Identity

At 3Di Athletics, identity is at the core of everything we do. Our goal is to help middle and high school athletes develop a strong sense of self through sports, providing them with the confidence to navigate life both on and off the court. Through basketball, we create an environment where young athletes can grow, discover their strengths, and build character that lasts a lifetime.

Our Journey

Since our first camp in 2013, we've methodically expanded our reach while maintaining our core principles. From launching AAU teams to hosting NBA legends like Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, each step has strengthened our commitment to building athletes who dominate through discipline both on and off the court.
