Pass and Move Basketball

To develop teamwork, communication and hand-eye coordination.

Skills Practiced: Passing, shooting, pivoting, rebounding and moving without the ball.

Equipment Needed: One basketball and one or two basketball hoops.

This game can be played on a full court with eight to twelve players or use half the court with six to eight players.

Players should be divided into two even teams.
On a full court, teams should each be assigned a basket in which they will score.
In a half-court game, an area should be marked where the ball must be returned after a defensive rebound in order to re-start the offense.
Toss the ball in the air between two players for a jump ball at half court for greater skilled players or Ro Sham Bo with lower skilled players to see which team receives first possession of the ball.
The game is played with the exact rules to regular basketball except players may not dribble the basketball.
When a player has possession of the ball, s/he can only pivot, pass, or shoot.
Players who do not have control of the ball can move and try to get open for a pass.

On a full court, a second ball can be added to increase the pace of the game and increase contact with the ball.
Designate a specific number of passes that a team must make before they are allowed to shoot and/or make a rule that every player must receive a pass before a shot is attempted.
