TORONTO \u2013 James Madison guard Bree Robinson<\/a> earned a spot on Canada’s roster for the FIBA U23 3×3 Nations League 2026 \u2013 Americas North in \u00d1u\u00f1oa, Chile, from June 27- July 3, as announced by Canada Basketball on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Americas conference will feature six three-game tournaments in seven days, including daily pool play and a final. Teams earn tour standing points after each one-day event. The best-ranked team in the standings after the sixth day will be declared winners of their conference and qualify for the FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup 2026, taking place September 15\u201319 in Wuhan, China.<\/p>\n

All tournament games will be streamed live on YouTube.com\/FIBA3x3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to Robinson, representing Canada on the women’s roster are Achol Akot (Ottawa, Ontario), Mary-Anna Asare (Pickering, Ontario), Marah Dykstra (Vancouver, British Columbia),\u00a0Skylar Forbes (Markham, Ontario), and T’yana Todd (Vaughan, Ontario). The team will be led by Head Coach Dianna Ros.<\/p>\n

The Mississauga, Ontario native already boasts international experience, having been named one of Canada’s three captains\u00a0for the 2021 FIBA U16 Americas Championship, where Robinson’s team earned silver. Robinson also helped guide Canada to a fourth-place finish at the FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup in 2022.<\/p>\n

The guard is no stranger to 3×3 basketball, having competed for JMU at the 2025 USA Basketball 3X Nationals alongside Ashanti Barnes<\/a>, Peyton McDaniel<\/a>, and Zakiya Stephenson<\/a> last May in Mesa, Ariz. There, the Dukes defeated South Dakota State and Team Phoenix to reach the quarterfinals of the competition.<\/p>\n

In 2025-26, Robinson played an instrumental role in the Dukes’ Sun Belt Conference Championship title season, starting all 35 games while averaging 11.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per contest. Her 82 steals tied the single-season program record with Jess Cichowicz (2002-03), landing her a spot on this past season’s All-Sun Belt Defensive Team. An elite two-way player, Robinson scored a career-high 30 points on 13-of-19 (.684) from the field to go with four steals against Old Dominion on Feb. 14. Following the performance, she was named Player of the Week by Canada Basketball.<\/p>\n

3×3 has a 10-minute game clock and is played in the half-court format, with a 12-second shot clock. The first team to hit 21 points or lead at the end of regulation wins the game.<\/p>\n
