Game Description:
A fast paced game that combines the elements of soccer and basketball.
Objective:
Score by invading your opponents' space and getting the ball into their goal, while preventing your opponents from scoring on your goal.
Game Rules:
Split players into two teams. Players can advance the ball through using two methods: by dribbling or passing the ball down the field using their feet (soccer) or by throwing the balls down the field in a fashion similar to basketball. Therefore; when the ball hits the ground, players have to follow the rules of soccer; when the ball gets up, players have to follow the rules of basketball. However, players are not allowed to dribble the ball. A goal is scored when a ball has been kicked into the soccer net and one point is awarded. When a basket is scored by throwing the ball through the hoop, two points are awarded.
Adaptations (optional):
Use two balls to speed up the game.
Progression (optional):
Put a goalie in the soccer net to increase the difficulty.
