Simply basket is a sport that allows everyone to express their full potential. The ball is handled with the hands to give great security to players. The rules of inclusive sport allow all players to be part of a team

Simply basketball develops in 3 moments:

1. Play match “The castle”

Rules:

Inside the castle (2/3 met x 2/3 met in the middle of the field made of 4 cones) there is a jolly player that must receive the ball before the basket (see picture). In the castle there is only the jolly, and can not enter other players. Thanks to this rule, when the disabled becomes the joker, is involved emotionally in the match. All players in turn can be the joker.

2. Play exercise “coloured basket”

Rules:

Each athlete chooses a partner, non disabled or disabled child, creating many pairs in order to help each other (see picture) Disabled player wins 1 point every time he makes a basket of the color called. The player without disability wins 1 point every time he scores before the opponent. Players have more shots available to make the basket.

Conduct and score:

At the start the players run dribbling trying to make the basket of the color called. There are three manches. The team that scores the most points wins the manche and the team that scores 2 manches of 3 wins. If the player with disabilities needs to be involved in the game with education strategies, it is necessary to have an educator who supports the athlete.

3. Play match “Simply Game”

Rules:

The match lasts 10 minutes.

Each team consists of 5 players, of which 1 player with disabilities (4+1). The player with disabilities will have to be involved in the game using educational strategies. Sometimes it isnecessary to have an educator who supports the athlete.

Conduct: 

During the match, at the auditory or visual signal, both athletes leave the game and reach the path next to the field. Here they’ll have to run dribbling trying to make the basket If the athlete makes a basket, it will be counted in the final scores of the match. Every 2 minutes the signal is given to the player for a total of 5 moments during the match.

Basketballs and basket with net (the net is important for the emotional aspect)

• Include in each team a maximum of 2 athletes with disabilities
• Obliquity: all athletes must experience the perception of psychophysical well-being of

motor activity. Each athlete must have the opportunity to train to the maximum of their

potential and live the moments of slowing down as wealth

For example: during the simply game the player can make a basket both in the game and when he is called in the play exercise on his own.

• Equity: create exercises where the final gratification is present for all. For example: the coloured basket allows each player to make the baskets on their own
• Tool: use the game in all its aspects as a main learning tool (G.M, G.E., G.S, G.M.)
• Create an extra workout only for non disabled children to lower the emotional commitment of the player and give more freedom during the match. This helps to have a greater predisposition to the inclusive game.
• Sharing the sporting and social goals of the inclusive path with staff, society and families
