Basketball 9's - Outcome A (10-30)-10

	Ball Bouncing
	Dodging
	Ready Position
	Jumping Vertically

Groups of nine work best. No teams are required as each student keeps their own points.

Players stand around the basketball key as shown below. Ideally, the game should continue until all the players have had a chance to rotate through all the positions.

How to Play

• The player in position #4 begins with a foul shot. If he/she makes the shot they get a point and shoot again.
• When the shot is missed, the other players positioned around the key (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7) try to rebound the ball.
• Whoever gets it, and the person directly across from them become a team and play 2 on 1 against the person in position #4 who has now moved down the floor to defend the other hoop.
• If the rebound players score they each get a point. If the defender prevents the 2 on 1 from scoring, no points are gained. Only one shot can be taken.
• Now the defender and the two rebounders from the 2 on 1 game become one team and bring the ball back down the floor to play in a 3 on 2 game.
• The two players who were under the hoop (#8 and #9), come out on the court to defend, while the other players have cleared off to the end line.
• If the offense scores they each get a point and if the defense scores no points are gained.
• The players now move up one position, going clockwise from where they were. (For example, #9 moves to position 1, #1 to position 2, #2 to position 3, #3 to position 4, #4 to position 5, and so on.)
  
• The game begins again.

In a large class, place four along each side of the key.

Play a "passing only" game for the 2 on 1 and 3 on 2 stages.

Make the foul shots worth two points instead of one.

Play games for a set time period and then switch the top point earners to one court for more of a challenge.

Run two games and have the students decide whether to play on the competitive side or the recreational side.

Points made by students who are on the school basketball team are worth one each time. Other players get two points each time they score.
