Name: 3 Team Basketball

Description Of Idea:
    Form students into groups of anywhere between 3-5. This will depend on your class size and facilities. Give the students different colored pinnies to identify their teams.
    Team A begins at one basket, Team B is at the other basket while Team C begins at center court. Team C receives the ball and moves down the court to play against Team A. If Team C scores, they keep possession of the ball and they go down to play Team B. If Team A stops Team C from scoring or Team C violates a rule (i.e., traveling, double dribble, etc.), then Team A dribbles down and plays Team B. Team C stays at the basket where Team A was and waits. This continues in this manner until the teacher stops it (preferably only 5-10 min.). Feel free to keep score for each team if you want.

Rules:
    Offense only gets one attempt at scoring. After the ball hits the rim the game goes the other way with the other team. So if offense keeps possession on a rebound they must give it to the other team.
