Basketball Variants: “Speed”
Now that it’s summer, it’s basketball time! Playing basketball outside with friends is a really fun and unique experience every time that it happens.
Here is a great variant of basketball games that can be played with friendsĀ in casual settings, in case the normal game play isn’t as fun anymore.

Speed- This game involves a line of people that take turns shooting in order to get each other out. The game is a fairly simple one in nature. there are two basketballs that are used, and two peopleĀ at a time take turns shooting in sequence. When a basket is made, the person throws it to the next person down the line, then runs to the back of the line immediately after. If someone behind another person makes it first, the person before them is eliminated.
The game continues on until every person but one is eliminated.
When a game is completed, people line up in reverse order of how they got out, pick a new spot to shoot from, and continue on with the game.
Playing this game variant will give people some much needed variety and will inject a bit of spice and fun into the equation. Plus, if you happen to be awesome it, then you can dominate in multiple settings.
