Organizational Points: 
  • Groups of three for 3-on-3 alley game around hoop. Modify the playing area using cones to form a grid. If not enough hoops for all to particpate at one of the hoops, other gym spaces may be used. Then these teams not at a hoop can be rotated into games at a hoop so that they can practice the shooting aspect of the game as well.
