Description: Soz its a lil blurred. But it works!! we did 2 halves of 3 on 3. Seems safe enuff, game flowed and we had FUNN.

Gonna keep going with this. If any1 wants to come along and give us a game just shout out. Im gonna look at the rules of basketball 'proper' and see if we need to vary them.

Thanks to rob for the pix.  Gemma videoed this so fingers crossed that will be appearing here soon

with the weight of stilts 1 tires quicker so shorter quarters may be required

i looked into doing basketball ages on bocks n was going to organise a tornament style thing with diff groups then award a cup etc, ther isnt much difference in the rules except obviously cant stand still so travelings out lol

Locky it is a little bit harder to do jump shots etc concentrate more on the landing then anythink else your doing other then that pretty much the same

Does this work though? I mean other than the novelty of playing it on your stilts, is there any benefit or difference?

yep gibbo has the ball, dg is outs shot  waiting to recieve the ball on the brake and take a shot on basket.

Jason, yep  my original post on jj stated the idea was to look at safty, practicality and enjoyment.

Suprisingly 2 me, we all moved OK, not much bouncing , but some with the ball. We honestly 4got we were on stilts really  and , speaking 4 myself  really enjoyed.

Sprog you are visually challenged the ball is being bounced by the third person from the right.

Also thought about powerstilt basketball. The key safety issue is with travelling and jumping. I think initially a cross between basket ball and netball rules would work best. ie when you get the ball in the key you cannot travel. ?
