Chair Game

Two equal teams and a chair under each basket. One player from each team sits in the chair and acts as a goalie. Start the game with a jump ball. No dribbling is allowed and players must play man to man defense. The ball must be passed up the court without touching the floor. To score a point the offense must pass the ball to their goalie.
The player to pass it to the goalie takes his/her place on the chair and the defense gets the ball out of bounds.
A violation of a rule results in a turnover.

Variations

  • A rule which works well with younger children is making them square up when they catch the ball.
  • If chairs are unavailable one player may stand in the key and to score a point a bounce pass must be successfully made to him/her.

Tips

  • Stress denying the ball on defense and moving without the ball on offense.
