To Athletic Directors, Student Basketball

Intramurals are real-world population, untrained and uncoached. They offer player potential apart from height..

This special modifying of Short AND Tall rules enables students to enjoy squad competition regardless of individual tallness:.

Begin with a line marked on a wall at 72 inches for "tall." This supports documentated fact- - that 80% of U,S. men 18-24 measure under six feet in height.

Then form some 10-player squads, each containing at least seven heights under "tall" and, at most, three teammates above the "tall" mark. Hold matches. Choose an "all-comers" Game Squad: seven or more heights under "tall," and up to three above.

Assist the students in presenting challenges to students of rival campuses.Complete Short AND Tall rules at www.hoopability.com.
