Description:
Using a full baseketball court and a football, score points by getting the football through the hoop.

Objective:
Score the most points by getting the ball in the basketball hoop.

Set-up:
none

How to play:
Player one throws the football across the court trying to get it into the basket. If the player misses, the second player then tries to score from wherever the ball lands including rebounds and bounces off the back wall. The other player can choose to catch the ball before it hits the ground. If the catch is successful, that player gets to move forward 5 giant leaps before taking their shot. Each successful basket is worth 6 points. After the basket, the scoring player gets to score the extra point by shooting from the top of the key line. After scoring, the next player takes his first shot from his own foul line. The game begins from the foul line also.

Rules:
The ball can be caught on a rebound from the wall, or the basket, or on the fly. This allows the player who caught it to take 5 giant steps wherever he chooses (hopefully towards the basket!)

Equipment needed:
Full court indoor basketball court
Nerf Football

Probably one of the most fun games I have ever played because at any time any one can win cause the football bounce can never be judged. So one minute the score mite be 56 to nothing the next he may be closing in on you with the score 49 to 56. Additionally I am the co-creator.
