drawing Run-through and evasion ball competition
Explanation
  • Divide the group into pairs. Each pair has a ball and a basket with four cones.
  • Set up the field as shown in the diagram.
  • Player 1 starts at the cone in front of the basket, player 2 is the passer.
  • Player 1 begins with a lateral line and then accelerates sharply for the running-in shot.
  • After the running-in shot, player 1 stays near the basket, moving for a short chance.
  • Finally, player 1 makes a deep line for the distance shot.
  • Afterwards, player 1 switches with player 2.
Execution
  • Make it competitive by assigning points to the different goals.
  • Running-in shot and short chance count for 1 point, the distance shot for 2 points.
  • Three successful attempts in one turn gives 5 points.
  • Failing to score results in a deduction of 1 point.
  • Who scores 25 points first and which post has both players reaching 25 points first?
