Basketball: Knockdown Passing Game
Knockdown is a passing game you can play with young physical education students who are too small to reach the basket when they shoot.
It's also a good way to get varsity teams to focus on passing rather than shooting during scrimmages. It does this by taking the baskets right out of the game.
How to Play
- Play as in regular basketball with several exceptions:
- Place two cones at the end of each playing area.
- Players score by knocking a cone down with the ball. They must work themselves into position for a clean shot at the cones, and the best way to advance the ball and outmaneuver defenders is by passing.
- Players can take only five steps before passing.
- A point is scored every time a cone is knocked down.
- Play for a certain time period or until a pre-determined number of points is reached.
