Animal

4 groups of 3 players. 1 group plays against another full court.

Instructions

One team of three plays the other team. When a team scores, they immediately inbound the ball and head down court on offense. There is no one basket to defend and no losers out. The first team to score three baskets wins and leaves the court. The losers stay on. After a game or two, fatigue really sets in and the losing team has to step up and play both defense and offense. This game is enjoyable if played over the course of a season and teams remain the same. Players soon realize what it takes to make the big defense stop or make a basket under adverse physical conditions.

Variations

  • Can be played with four players but lessens the fatigue factor somewhat. Playing with only two players creates too much fatigue and sloppy play.
