-"Greek Basketball"-     by     Michalis Solomou

 

 

 

Appropriate age group:  It can be presented to ages 5-15. Sometimes can use

it in order for all the players to participate in the game not only the

athletes.

 

Equipment needed:  Basketball & 2 types of t-shirts for the players in order

to recognize both teams.

 

Rules:  It is basically the same rules of a basketball game but players are

not allowed to dribble the ball, they are only allowed to pass the ball.

Players are also not allowed to shoot inside the free throw area only if

they get the offensive rebound. If participants dribble the ball (usually

they do, cause it come naturally, the other team gets the ball. By this way

players are getting more involvement.   I use to play this game when I was

younger in physical education classes and I remember passing the ball, so

this game also involves greater teamwork.
