Bump ball

2 balls ‘Shooter’ attempts to make foul shot. If he misses he tries to get rebound before next player sinks his foul shot. ‘Rebounder’ may try to bump ‘Foul shooter’s’ ball so as to interfere with it going in, in order to bide time so that
rebounder can get ball in first.

Instructions

Players line up, one behind the other behind the foul line; first two players each have a ball.

Player #1 attempts foul shot. If shot is made, he gets ball and passes it to Player #3 and then joins the end of the line; Player #2 then attempts foul shot…etc… If shooter misses foul shot, player with ball behind them, then attempts his foul shot before the player who missed foul shot can get his rebound and sink a shot.

If rebounder gets shot in before next man gets foul shot in, he remains in the game…If foul shooter beats rebounder with a successful basket, then rebounder is now out of the game. Play continues until you have a winner.

Only rebounder who misses shot leaves the game.
