Make activity based on the assessment test given before the Basketball Unit

basketball unit so that all skills have been used and understood in order to play a 3 vs. 3
scrimmage type of environment
3 vs. 3 Half-court Basketball
Adaptations being used:
o 2 people in wheelchairs, and one standing passer for each team
o People in wheelchairs can only be the shooters, the people standing can only pass
the ball, but anyone can pass the ball to one-another if its necessary
o As soon as one team shoots the ball (and it hits the rim), and the opposing team
rebounds, that team has to take it back to the three point line and continue play
from there
o People in wheelchairs are only allowed three pushes upon receiving possession of
the ball
o The kids standing cannot block the ball, only kids in the wheelchairs can block
each others shots
o Each student demonstrates that they can use all skills necessary for wheelchair
basketball
Each student uses proper technique when shooting
Each student uses proper technique when passing
