Slide4:
Set-up Place empty trashcans around the room
Put a piece of tape on the floor at least 5 feet from the trashcan
Groups of 5 or 6
Slide5:
Directions Both teams will play two halves and an overtime
Keep track of the shots that your team makes during each half by COUNTING OUT LOUD
Slide6:
First Half Take 10 shots as a team
After 10 shots have been taken, calculate the ratio of shots made to shots taken
Use the ratio to calculate the team’s shooting percentage
Record team results on the overhead
Slide7:
Second Half Use results from First Half to predict how many shots your team will make out of 15
Shoot 15 shots, record team ratio and shooting percentage
Record team results on the flip chart
Overtime:
Calculate team results for the entire game (both halves combined; 25 total shots taken)
Using the stats calculated from the entire game, predict how many shots your team will make out of 7 (to match your player)
Shoot 7 baskets and record your team’s results
Overtime
