Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world, and it has numerous advantages. They include enhanced socialization, improved cardiovascular health, immune system stimulation, calorie burning, and improved coordination. All of these are essential for children’s growth.
You must train hard to get the most out of your basketball. But, it does not always have to be a difficult job. These are seven basketball games that everyone will like.
HORSE
The first player must devise a shot, describe it to the other players, and then execute it. Hoping on one leg, shooting from a difficult angle, or putting the ball between their legs are all examples of shots. If they hit the shot, the following player attempts to recreate it.
When a player misses a shot, they are assigned a letter, beginning with H for HORSE, and the ball is passed to the next player, and so on. A player is eliminated if their letters spell the complete word HORSE. The challenge is won by the last person standing.
LIMBO DRIBBLE
Each player must limbo beneath a pole while dribbling a basketball in this game. The pole is lowered after each player has succeeded or failed once, and the players that succeeded in the first round get to limbo and dribble again. This process is repeated until only one player remains as the winner.
KNOCKOUT
Players line up behind the free throw line with two basketballs. The first player takes a shot, and the second player follows suit instantly. If the first player misses, they must rebound their own ball and shoot (from anywhere).
The second player does the same thing, and if they make their shot before the first player, the first player is eliminated. If the first player scores, they pass the ball to the next person in line, shoot a free throw, and then follow up with a miss from anywhere.
When the player in front of them hits their shot before the other person, they knock them out. The game continues until only one player remains as the winner.
ALL AROUND THE WORLD
This game entails making shots from various locations in the arc around the court one after the other. Each player takes a shot from the first location, and if they hit it, they advance to the next spot and earn another chance.
If they succeed, they move on to the next place, and so on. When they miss, the next player has their turn. And they move from spot to spot till they miss. The game is won by the first player to complete all three rounds.
BASKETS FOR MUSIC
Similar to musical chairs, you need the same number of basketballs as players. The balls are all arranged in a circle, and the players go around it until the music ends. The participants must all pick up a basketball and take a shot, sitting down when they succeed. The game restarts with one less ball and player when the last person standing is eliminated.
RELAY BASKETBALL
Two teams form a line along the baseline, and the first player on each team dribbles a basketball to the opposing baseline or half court and back. After the second player receives the ball, they repeat the process. Each player repeats the process, and the first team to complete the relay with all of its players wins.
