//**__Materials Needed:__**// Baskets, Basketballs, Polyspots, Clipboard, Scoresheet, and Pencil.

//**__Objective/Goal:__**// To make a basket from each spot, in the least amount of shots as possible.

//**__Skills:__**// Shooting a basketball with accuracy from different areas/distances.

//**__Lesson Description:__**// After teaching the skill cues for shooting a basketball have the students practice by playing a round of Basketball-Golf. Start by placing nine polyspots in different locations in front of each basket. Each basket represents a course to play, and each course can be set up the same or differently. Divide the class into pairs or into foursomes and place them evenly at the baskets. If the game is played with pairs at each basket (2 pairs at each basket) have one pair start on one hole and the other pair start on a different hole. Each person shoots until they make it, while their partner rebounds the ball for them. Once a basket is made, they should record the number of shots it took them to make it at that spot, then it is their partners turn. They can play until they make it, or set a maximum number of shots they can take at each spot. Complete each spot (hole) the same way until all 9 are finished, add up individual scores. If in a foursome, complete the same way but combine all scores together to see which foresome completed their course in the least amount of shots. There are many different ways to play Basketball-Golf, make up a version that fits your needs.
