Game Seven (7) Run and Throw Relay - Basket Ball
“First Whistle” All team members standing to attention and captain has the ball at
their feet positioned at the first marker.
“Second Whistle” Ready position. Captain picks up the ball. The remainder of
the team moves off the markers and form up behind the captain.
“Third Whistle” Captain holding the ball runs to and around the three (3) metre
marker in the direction indicated in the diagram below. Having run around the
marker, and on the way back to the team, the captain throws the ball to the next
member, who on receiving the ball commences their run to the marker and repeats
the actions of the captain. The captain and progressive members of the team after
having thrown the ball to the next team member will run to the rear of the team on
the right hand side as indicated in the diagram below.
This procedure will continue
until the captain is back on the front marker with the ball at their feet, standing at
attention with the team on their markers also standing at attention to indicate that
the team has completed the game.
The ball must be thrown to each member in the team and NOT passed. The
member receiving the ball must actually have it prior to commencing their run from
the first marker.
If the ball is dropped by the runner they must retrieve it and again round the three
(3) metre marker and throw it again. If the catcher drops the ball, they must
retrieve it and start their run from the front marker.
Failure by any team to not follow either the general conditions or specific game
rules may result in disqualification.
