Step 1: Line everyone up behind the foul line.
For clarifying purposes, the first four people are labeled Players 1-4, Player 1 being at the front of the line.
Player 1 and Player 2 should each hold a basketball.
In the beginning of the game, Player 1 may also call "first person protection" so that Player 2 and Player 3 will both have to score the ball before Player 1 is out. -
Step 2: Player 1 shoots the ball at the basket.
Once (s)he shoots, Player 2 may begin shooting their ball.Players 1 and 2 can bump each others' basketballs whenever except if in player's hands.
The 1st shot from each player must be from the free throw line.(Every 1st shot should be from the free throw line) Both continue shooting (from anywhere on the court) until one player makes a basket.
If Player 1 gets a basket before Player 2, Player 1 must pass the ball to the next person in line (Player 3), who may immediately begin shooting against Player
2.
Player 1 then moves to the back of the line.
If Player 2 gets a basket before Player 1, then Player 1 is "out." Player 1 must pass their ball to the next person in line (Player 3), and sit on the sidelines.
