OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing 5 v 5 Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to score more baskets than your opponent.  

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will divide you into teams of five using pennies to tell who you are.

  • All games will be played on a full-court.

  • A jump ball will start the game at the half-court line.

  • REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAVE THE BALL YOU HAVE TO DRIBBLE IF YOU MOVE

  • Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded two points, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.

  • The defense is not allowed to play, block or charge for the ball on the other side of the court (no full court press).

  • There is no pushing or shoving. Any fouls may result in the other team starting with the ball.

  • We will rotate players in every 3 minutes.

 

Game 1: Play as indicated above. Rotate teams after 10 minutes.

 

TEACHING TIPS

  • Approach: Divide students equally based on athletic ability.

  • Discussion: Ask students to share what skills they used on offense and defense in this game.
