Inspiration and the future of our programs.
Why Do We Have Such a Loyal Following?
35 years hosting youth, high school and college events.
Founder of Power 2 Play Sports, and built my own 53,000 square foot youth sports/basketball event center in 2017. In 2022, I am truly proud to have retired from my involvement and Foundership. Newly, the Sports Biz Network was developed for two important reasons, 1) I wanted to go back to the roots of why I loved the game, and helping people, and 2) Non-profit opportunity to help children, who have, are, or will in the future go through trauma. We provide counseling services for those in need.
3-Ball Hoops evolved from the passion of hosting events and is now the premier organization in northern Colorado hosting events, locally, regionally and nationally. We feature one of the premier Junior College women’s events in October, one of the largest high school sanctioned tournaments (80+ teams every year) in December, and year-round youth basketball. The youth basketball grassroots series, and tournaments have enjoyed teams from 42 different states traveling to Colorado and Wyoming, experiencing family-destination!
There is something special and unique about how we do, and what we do. A connection, willingness to help and humbleness believing that relationships are the focus. It’s truly special to see, meet new people and connect with others who have been part of a wonderful brand for now going on 35 years!
Respectfully,
Michael Peterson/Founder
Why have the teams followed, and continue to support our programs?
Quite honestly, we listen. We genuinely care about those who participate. Our staff comes from humble beginnings and we remember this when we develop a budget. We also realize people will pay for quality, but you better deliver on that promise! We understand it’s a healthy balance between knowing officials are the most important part of youth sports, but parents spend money and expect mutual respect. We can list all of which we think are who we are, but the real part of it is a personal relationship.
You speak, we listen and have provided quality through the following:
35 years of event organization and management
Transparency of costs for every event (see flyers!)
Highest pay for officials in the region
Multiple levels of competition - Recreational to Advanced
Limited (tournaments) to NO spectator admission (league play)
Inclusive for all ability levels and financial status
Personalized scheduling
Discounts for club, multi-team, and travel considerations
Respecting privacy, teams register as a team and not individually.
