Our Story
Founded in 2013, Jumpshot Singapore has been at the heart of the nation’s basketball scene for more than a decade. What began as a basketball media platform has evolved into Singapore’s leading 3×3 basketball academy, organising events, managing competitive teams, and creating opportunities for players to shine both locally and internationally.
As Singapore’s first homegrown 3×3 basketball team, we now field men’s, women’s, and youth squads competing across Asia — from China and Japan to the Philippines and Thailand. Every appearance raises the bar for performance and sportsmanship while building clear pathways for emerging players to grow into confident competitors.
The Jumpshot 3×3 Academy
The Jumpshot 3×3 Academy is the next chapter in our journey — a dedicated training hub built to nurture players of all ages and levels.
Led by experienced European coaches, the Academy focuses on developing core skills, teamwork, and game intelligence. Whether you’re picking up a basketball for the first time or preparing for elite competition, the Academy is where passion transforms into performance.
Our Mission: Growing 3×3 Basketball in Singapore
At Jumpshot Academy, our mission is to inspire and develop players of all ages through world-class 3×3 basketball training in Singapore. We aim to build character, teamwork, and resilience while helping athletes excel both on and off the court. By focusing on youth development and elite performance, Jumpshot stands as the leading hub for basketball growth in Singapore.
Pioneering Vision and
Leadership
Jumpshot was founded by Esther Quek, a former Singapore national basketball player turned coach and sports leader. Drafted into the national team at just 14, Esther has over a decade of experience in 3×3 basketball development and is recognised as a pioneer in the sport.
Armed with a degree in Sports Coaching and proven expertise in sports marketing, including her role as Senior Marketing Manager at NBA Asia, she has been instrumental in raising the profile of 3×3 basketball in Singapore. Esther led Singapore teams to compete on the FIBA 3×3 World Tour and made history by organising the first-ever Jumpshot 3×3 International Tournament locally — cementing her legacy as a driving force in Singapore’s basketball community.
History of Jumpshot
Magazine
Founded in 2008, Jumpshot Magazine was Singapore’s first and only basketball-focused publication. Its mission was to promote local basketball by spotlighting events, teams, and rising talents, quickly becoming a go-to resource for players, fans, and the wider basketball community.
Across six editions, the magazine celebrated Singapore’s basketball culture — from grassroots tournaments to national-level athletes. As media shifted towards digital platforms, Jumpshot adapted online but eventually ceased operations due to resource challenges.
Today, Jumpshot continues this vision through our events and programs, ensuring that Singapore’s basketball culture thrives in both grassroots and elite arenas.
Jumpshot Basketball Team: Women's Basketball Legacy
The Jumpshot Women’s Basketball Team was founded in 2010, carrying forward the spirit of passion and community in Singapore basketball. Competing in local 5-on-5 tournaments and organising the Wee Nam Kee Cup, the team created valuable opportunities for women to play and showcase their talent.
Despite operating without corporate sponsorship, Team Jumpshot thrived through sheer dedication, training hard and consistently making its mark in Singapore’s basketball scene. More than just a team, it became a symbol of grassroots basketball excellence, inspiring women athletes and strengthening the local basketball community.
3x3 Specialisation: Leading The Way in Singapore
In 2023, Team Jumpshot made history as the first basketball team in Singapore to specialise in 3×3. This bold move quickly paid off with a championship win at the Grand Final Yunnan Kunming 3×3.
Since then, we’ve expanded to include a women’s 3×3 team, a youth boys’ team, and are building Singapore’s only professional 3×3 men’s team. Through these efforts, Jumpshot continues to develop local talent, raise the profile of 3×3 basketball, and inspire the next generation of athletes.
