Basketball Games

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing 3 v 3 Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to score more baskets than your opponent.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide you into teams of three using flags to tell who you are.
• All games will be played on a half-court.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide which team will start with the ball at the half-court line.
• Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded one point, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.
• If the defense gains possession of the ball within the arc, by a steal, a block or a rebound, the team must move the ball behind the arc before taking a shot.
• After a shot is made, the play restarts with a student from the non-scoring team taking the ball directly under the basket and then dribbling or passing it to a point behind the arc. The defense is not allowed to play, block or charge for the ball inside the arc.
• There is no pushing or shoving. Any fouls may result in loss of play for the student.
• We will begin a new game and rotate teams at the end of 10 minutes.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach: Divide students equally based on athletic ability.
• Approach: Give students the option to be in a competitive or non-competitive group.
• Discussion: Ask students to share what skills they used on offense and defense in this game.
