Bucket Basketball - Outcome A (4-6)-10

	Ball Bouncing
	Overhand Throwing
	Dodging

This is a modified game of basketball designed to help students work on improving their skill levels by playing in a smaller space and shooting at a modified net.

Designate several courts throughout the gymnasium using lines on the floor and/or pylons. Divide the students into groups of four. One of the four students from each team will be holding a bucket on the end line of each end of the court, while the others are playing three on three. The bucket holders are subbed or rotated in so that everyone has the opportunity to hold the bucket and play the game as well.

Students play the game of basketball within the designated area. When a shot is taken, the bucket holder (who may be on a chair or bench) can move the bucket to help the team score a basket.

Identify specific skills to work on; e.g., passing a minimum of three times before taking a shot, dribbling only with the left hand.

These are clues that you have reached the outcomes ...

Students are using proper shooting form to attempt a shot.

Students are passing the ball with accuracy.

Students are moving into open spaces to accept a pass.
