What's Up
3WallBall SoCal Outdoor Season Kickoff Invitational Shootout Recap Jan. 2022
To kick off the 2022 season, on January 8th 2022 3Wall Ball and MC Vegas hosted an invitational Outdoor shootout at the courts of West Newport Park, right on Highway 1 in Newport Beach, California. These 3-wall/mid-wall courts are Rocky Carson 's favorite, his "home courts" that he practices on most frequently, and he was part of one of nine top-level teams invited to play in this shootout. Some of the players were rusty; it had been several weeks of inaction for most of the competitors, but eight games of round robin cleared off the dust by day's end for everyone. And the shootout featured a great collection of top talent from SoCal and beyond.
