-Setting Up:

  • Divide players into two teams and give each team a side of the court.

  • Use the basketball three point line as a crease in which no one may enter (except for the team whose side it is on to retrieve a ball)--or make a smaller one with the use of poly spots.

  • Have each team place a pin on the end line within the crease (placing it in the middle is the most desirable spot as it is the furthest from any point; but teams could also place it to one side and guard that side more heavily).

  • Give one team the ball.

-Instructions:

  • At the leader's signal to begin play the player with the ball must pass or shot the ball, and players with the ball:

    • Can pivot with the ball​

    • Can take three steps

    • Must release the ball within five seconds.

  • Any ball that lands on the floor on account of an incomplete pass or shot on the pins automatically goes to a player from the opposite team.​

-Questions & Notes:

  • Variations:

    • Score by counting the points that are showing face-up on the Stryke'N pins

    • Add more pins

    • Add a goalie to protect the pins
