Fun Games To Try This Christmas

-

 

Just two until days Christmas! Are you excited to gather with your family and friends for the most beautiful night of the year? Apart from the festive meals and presents, there is another thing we all do on Christmas day - play family games. Today, we present to you, fun basketball family games that you can try this holiday season.


1. KNOCK OUT


Knock out requires two basketballs, and two or more players. The players form a line at the free throw line, with the first two receiving basketballs. The first player shoots, and if he or she misses, the second player can "knock out" the first player by making the basket before the first player is able to corral the rebound, and put his or her ball in the basket. If the first player is able to make the shot before the second player, they pass it to the next player in line, who then tries to knock out the second player while the first player returns to the end of the line. The game goes on until all but one player is knocked out.

2. MUSICAL BASKETBALL

Think musical chairs, but with basketballs. This game requires one ball per player and a source of music. Put the balls in a circle, and have the players walk around the balls while music plays. Once the music stops, the players grab a basketball and shoot. When a player makes a basket, they sit down to show that they are finished. The last player standing is out.


3. SHARKS AND MINNOWS

Select one or two players to be "sharks." The sharks will start at the half-court line facing the baseline. The rest of the players will be the "minnows" and will line up along the baseline facing the sharks. The sharks will not have basketballs, and the minnows will each have one ball.

For the minnows, the object of the game is to dribble from baseline to baseline without their ball being stolen or knocked out of bounds by a shark. For the sharks, the object of the game is to eliminate as many minnows as possible, within each round, by stealing or deflecting their ball out of bounds. If a minnow loses their ball, they will become a shark in the next round. The round stops when each minnow has successfully made it across to the other baseline, or has been turned into a shark. The last minnow remaining is deemed the winner. The game stops when all minnows have been eliminated. The last one or two minnows remaining will serve as sharks for the beginning of the next game.

At Royal Basketball School, we believe there is so much more to developing your child's basketball skills than just going out on the court to shoot. We focus on the fundamentals of the game. The critical building blocks your child needs to become a solid overall basketball player. The younger a child begins working on their game, the faster they will develop into a well-rounded athlete.  Developing proper body movement, harnessing athleticism, perfecting hand eye coordination, enhancing  work ethic, and the promotion of a daily exercise routine, will all be taught to your child.  Our youngest age groups focus on: How to run, jump, slide your feet, skip, move dynamically with high knees, and jump on a single foot. Students also begin to learn how to control the basketball with their fingertips, roll the ball on the ground, hold the ball, dribble, pass and so much more!  Q: Does that mean my child will not learn how to shoot in the class designed for the youngest leve...
