- The group stands on one side behind these hoops.
- When told to do so, the children steal objects from the other side and place them in the hoops on their own side.
- If they are caught by a ticker, they have to put the object back.
2 teams, 1 ball.
- Depending on the size of the teams a half field or quarter field.
- Dribbling allowed, players must pass to avoid being tapped with ball.
- Tapping the player with the ball is a point, out of bounds/ or run point for the other side, 30 seconds without being tapped is a point.
Divide group into pairs.
Passing to the other side:
- At the halfway line: player on the inside dribbles to the head of the bucket and passes to the player on the outside who scores with a layup/ shot (variation)
- Player who has passed runs to the other sideline and receives outlet, passes back to the center line and again shot/layup
- Important that they do not run during the pass and that the players change (inside and outside)
