May 8, 2013- Sideline basketball

Grades 6-12

Equipment: One basketball, pinnies to separate the teams.

This is a good basketball game if there are many students and not a lot of room.  Students are split into two teams.  Then each team is split into two teams.  You should have four teams total: two starting teams and two teams on the sideline.  If a team is not starting, they are still to wear the correct pinnie color.  Students not currently playing get on the sidelines of the court.  These players may be used as an option to pass to.  Regular basketball rules apply except there is no out of bounds. After about 5 minutes switch the starters and the players on the sidelines.

Variations: I play this game and do not allow anyone to dribble.  This keeps the sideline players more involved in the game because they have to be used more often.
