Games/Basketball: Backwards Basketball
Backwards Basketball is a fun gymnasium game. It takes no special setup except for a temporary modification of your basketball nets.
Setup
Play with two teams on a basketball court. Tie the bottom of the basketball nets so a ball can't fall through. Place a kickball/playground ball in each net.
How to Play
The game is played like basketball except that a point is scored by hitting the ball out of the net with the basketball. Once a basket is scored, the ball is put back into the net.
The ball can be advanced by passing or dribbling, with a three second dribbling limit before a pass must be made.
