Fun game that combines soccer and basketball

Basketball and soccer - two sports that seem unrelated - can be combined to become a new game called "basketball", attracting many students to participate.

This new, unique sport originated from Duy Tan Private Secondary and High School (District 10, Ho Chi Minh City). The court and ball dimensions of this new sport are similar to basketball, but the match only lasts for 2 halves (each half is 15 minutes).

New rules of the game

Basically, players still shoot baskets and score points like basketball. At the end of the game, the team that scores more points wins.

However, if a player from a team scores with another part of the body (other than the hand), that team wins and the match ends immediately. This is similar to a knockout in boxing or the former golden goal in football.

According to the rules, players must dribble the ball with their feet because their hands cannot touch the ball before their "body" (head, including shoulders and feet), and they cannot touch the ball twice in a row, so the ball does not need to bounce. It is also okay to play on beach sand.

According to Mr. Nguyen Dinh Dai - Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, professional advisor of Duy Tan Private Secondary and High School, the idea for the birth of "basketball" came from a fire of a small device high up.

At that time, using gas or powder fire extinguishers were not effective because gas and powder were heavier than air and would fall back. Mr. Dai used plastic bags filled with water and threw them directly into the fire very effectively.

From then on, Mr. Dai realized that playing sports, especially basketball, is very useful in practice, but he had to learn how to shoot the basket faster, stronger and more accurately.

During activities, Mr. Dai discovered that students were very interested in using their feet to control the basketball. Thanks to that, the idea of ​​combining the two sports was born, and until now it has become "basketball".

Hopefully this interesting sport will be popular and known by many students. This sport can be played by both boys and girls, even in a team can combine boys and girls. Especially, this sport can be brought to the beach to play.

Desire to replicate

Currently, students at Duy Tan Private Secondary and High School practice and play "basketball" every Saturday and Sunday.

Right in the center of the school is a basketball court, which is also where students play "basketball". In the future, the school will organize a tournament for students to promote the movement and introduce this new sport.

Au Gia Vi Phuoc, an 11th grade student at the school, said: "At first I felt quite strange, but the more I played, the more interesting and attractive this sport became.

When playing basketball, players will combine many parts of the body, must be very flexible. In addition, this sport also requires teamwork, coordination, concentration and extremely high observation.

Talking about the sport of "basketball", Mr. Dai said he really wants to develop and expand this sport. He hopes that students will have another healthy sport to be less passive and less glued to the phone screen. The school's top goal and concern is to combine studying with physical exercise for students.
