How to play Around the world ?
Select your “world spots” before the game starts. You want to make a small half-circle around the basket. You can have as many spots as you want.
Shoot from the first spot. All players play as individuals.
To move from one point to the next, players must successfully make the shot in their current position. When a player misses a shot, he or she gets one more chance to make it. The catch is, if the person misses again, that player must go back to the first spot and start over. You need at least two players. However, there is no upper limit on the number of people that can play. Want to improve your shooting skills? Then Around the World is your game.
There are a multitude of ways to modify this game. Other variations include:
- shooting with one hand
