ACTIVITY #1: Pig Skin Basketball

  • Pairs form groups of 10 for a full-court 5-on-5 game.
  • Object of game: to make as many baskets as possible using a football on a basketball court by only passing, catching, and shooting.
  • Use Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who starts the game with control of the football.
  • The game starts with a throw-in from the end line. The team in possession tries to pass and catch the football and advance toward their basket.
  • Once a student catches a ball, he or she must stop and can only pivot, pass or shoot.
  • Defender guards the passer but cannot knock the football out of the passer’s hands.
  • All dropped footballs, bad throws or balls thrown out-of-bounds go to defending team. Free toss from that point.
  • Principle of 3’s in effect:
  • Passer has 3 seconds to throw football (3 alligators counted by the closest defender).
  • Defenders must be 3 feet away from passer.
  • After a score, other team takes the football out from end line.
  • Play 4-minute games and have leading teams move up and teams behind move down.
