Hoop Tactics
Two teams of 6 players, one team at each basket with 3 balls. Here team O is shown. 4, 2 and 5 shoot from the perimeter. Each make scores one point, then the shooter rebounds, passes to a teammate, and relocates on the perimeter. On a miss the shooter must make a putback (score with the ball) before passing to a teammate, but the team gets no points.
At 7 points, a player goes to the foul line and makes 2 free throws (option - in a row) to start the next round. After the team makes 7 more perimeter shots another player goes to the line to make 2 free throws. Continue until all players have made their free throws. Which team finishes first to win?Options
- one player on each team shoots only 3-point shots each round, all players take turns
- everyone shoots 3s, make 2 consecutive free throws (storm shooting, coachesclipboard.ca).
Variation - players on each team are paired up with one ball, alternate shots from one spot, rotate spots each round.
