Objective- Progressively make baskets further away from the goal

Set a goal on a flat playing surface with at least 30’ for a throwing lane. Place five marker/flags every six feet or spaced to your own preference going in a straight line away from the goal. Each player will start the game by taking a shot at the closest marker to the goal by rotating turns. A player will progress to the second furthest marker from the goal only when they make a basket at the first location. The other players will stay at the marker location until making a basket. Players keep rotating through turns attempting to make baskets until someone has made baskets at all six locations graduating from the closest to the furthest away from the goal. The player who achieves making a basket at all locations first may then claim the bragging rights to being the “King of the Mountain!”

Players may choose to make some shots more challenging than others by placing markers in locations where there are obstacles. Be sure not to make the shots too hard where they can’t be made. Each player will start the game by taking a shot a designated start marker location and rotating until a basket is made. A player will progress to a second marker location counterclockwise once a basket is made. The other players will stay at the marker location until making a basket. Players keep rotating turns attempting to make baskets until someone has made a basket at the last marker location.The player who achieves making a basket at all locations first may then claim the bragging rights to being the “King of the World!”

BOOT- (1-4 People) )(Singles or Teams)

Objective- To repeat shots that your compitor make and avoid penalty points for missing

Set a goal on a flat playing surface with at least 30’ in all directions around the goal. BOOT is played with the same structure whether “HORSE or PIG” in Basketball. PIG is the shorter version since you only have three letters as opposed to four or five. The game consist with one shooter at a time. Therefore the flow of the game may be improved if the players alternate re-bounding the Boot in a safe place near the goal.
