Evanston BounceBall

THE #1 SPORT FOR SHIFTY AND CREATIVE HOOPERS OF ALL HEIGHTS

BounceBall is a sport similar to basketball, except with a few modifications that encourage creative, agile gameplay and allow shorter players with good ball handling skills to be competitive against teams of much taller players:

1. The ball must bounce continuously between players (only bounce passes are allowed, and the player receiving the pass may not catch the ball unless they wish to shoot - they can only continue the dribble). If you catch the ball or end the dribble in any way, the only option is to shoot.
2. Once the dribble ends, the ball must leave the player's hands/body before any feet touch the ground (in other words, 0 steps are allowed, unlike basketball, which allows 2 or 3 steps).
3. All regular shots are worth 1 point
4. Off-sides rule, like in soccer
5. No rebounds
6. When the ball switches possession, the current player with the ball may take two steps (there is no pivot - keeping one foot still and moving the other foot two times counts as two steps).

Therefore, tall players cannot simply do chest or overhead passes to each other, or simply stroll down to the basket without dribbling, and defeat a team of shorter players with much better ball handling skills.
