Quick start.

“Force the offense to earn a paint touch before the shot can count. Set teams, mark the paint or close area, and explain that a possession needs a paint touch before scoring. A catch, drive, or pass into the paint unlocks the possession; the offense can then shoot from anywhere. Made baskets count only after the possession has a legal paint touch.”

Scoring

How the result works

Made baskets count only after the possession has a legal paint touch.

Example: A wing pass hits a cutter in the paint, the ball kicks out, and the corner jumper counts.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Adding a second ball, loose markers, or a written score sheet. Use existing court lines and spoken scoring for this run path.

Safety: Keep the rebound lane clear, use existing court lines as boundaries, and give each shooter or active group enough stopping and landing space.
