Procedure for Junior Olympic
Basketball Competition:
• Each participant competes one at a
time against the clock.
• Participants may begin from any
spot and may shoot in any order.
• Once a shot is taken, the
participant must shoot from a
different spot (a participant
may not take consecutive shots from
the same spot, make or miss).
• Participants have 45 seconds to
score as many points as possible
from shooting spots.
• The stopwatch will start when the
participant releases the ball for
his/her first shot.
• Participants must retrieve their
own rebounds. The second ball may be
used as a
“safety” ball, instead of retrieving
a rebound (i.e. if a rebound bounces
far away, the
participant may use the second
ball).
• Each time a shot is made, the
participant receives a designated
point value.
• After the 45 seconds, each
participant will shoot two (2)
free-throws, worth 3 points each.
• Participant attempt the two (2)
free-throws with both feet behind
the free-throw
line as if in a normal game.
• After the free-throws, each
participant's shots made will be
recorded to determine a
final score.
• ALL ages and genders will shoot
from the same designated free throw
line.
