OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Court Masters. In this game, the objective is to use a pump fake to shoot a basket before your opponent does. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of two.
• I will select the first two teams to start off on the court – these are the court masters.
• Before the game begins, the court masters stand at the free throw line.
• Everyone else will form a line at the baseline or end line with their partner.
• When I say, "GO!" the first team in line will roll a ball out to the court masters.  
• Once the court masters have received the ball, the game is open to a two-on-two play.
• If the court masters score first they stay on the court.
• If the opposing team scores first, they become the new court masters and the losing team goes to the end of the line at the opposing base or end line.

TEACHING TIPS

• ELL Accommodations
  • Pair new student with more advanced student of same language for instructions.
  • Post skills and instructions in picture format for students to reference.
• SpEd Accommodation
  • Give directions and demonstrations one-on-one in small groups.

• Reflection

INSTRUCTIONS

• Ro Sham Bo to decide who will start with the ball first.  
• When I say, "GO!" you can either: start at any dot, pump fake, dribble and shot from another dot OR dribble, fake pump and shoot from the same dot.
• Once you have shot, your teammate will rebound the ball.
• If both teammates make the shot from the dot, then you get to pick up and keep the dot.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing 3 v 2 Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to use a pump fake to score more baskets than your opponent.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of two or three using flags to tell who they are.
• All games will be played on a half-court.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide which team will start with the ball at the half-court line.
• Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded one point, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.
• If the defense gains possession of the ball within the arc, by a steal, a block or a rebound, the team must move the ball behind the arc before taking a shot.
• After shot is made, the play restarts with a student from the non-scoring team taking the ball directly under the basket and then dribbling or passing it to a point behind the arc. The defense is not allowed to play, block or charge for the ball inside the arc.
• There is no pushing or shoving. Any fouls may result in loss of play for the student.
• We will begin a new game and rotate teams at the end of 10 minutes.
