**// __Name/Title:__ Bucketball //**


 * // __Materials Needed:__ 3 or 4 plastic buckets (5-10 Gallon size), 20 soccerballs, whiteboard for score-keeping //**

**//__Objective/Goal:__ Develop power and accuracy with two-hand overhead throw. Explore various defensive and offensive strategies in a group game.//**


 * //__Skills:__ Two-hand overhead throw//**


 * //__Lesson Description:__ Divide class in half. Assign each team a side of the width of the basketball court. Students must stand behind their sideline. With feet planted, two-hand overhead throw the ball toward the buckets. Students get one point for hitting the inside bottom of a bucket (even if it's on its side), or ten points for knocking the bucket over the other team's sideline. If the bucket tips and rolls over, that is fine! Only reset the buckets if they're all clustering too close together (set them in the same position, but farther apart on the width of the court), or if one team gets the bucket over the other team's line (set it in the middle again). Students should retrieve balls from the middle of the court quickly and cautiously.//**
