Rec vs Rec in Short AND Tall

Step by Step

Municipal recreation can bring the benefits Short AND Tall to a community quickly by showcasing the principles of tallness at an elite level.

All-Star competition demonstrates how Short AND Tall focuses upon ability (hoopability) at all heights throughout a squad

This following debut is proposed, blending tallness and skills.

STEP 1 FORM CLUB

An all-star squad is formed from each league or group at a recreation center. Coaches use one common marked wall to judge tallness Units. A natural mix of tall and ordinary-size teammates, the squads combine talent and tallness. A tournament can exhibit these qualities.

STEP 2 SQUAD

RecvsRec grows to the next Short AND Tall skill level. One elite squad is selected from all the All-Star Short AND Tall squads in each facility. One center squad is matched against another. Every player is talented. Some are tall.

STEP 3 TALLNESS

Example: Lincoln vs. Hamilton in Short AND Tall final tourney. The Lincoln Center All-Stars, representing all Lincoln center regular-basketball leagues or groups opposes the equivalent Hamilton 10-player squad.

STEP 4 CHALLENGE

RecvsRec is very choosy. The squads regard the hoopability at each tallness as far more meaningful than an indvidual player height .

STEP 5 PRE-GAME

Care is urged to portray RecvsRec as a new recreation activity. Do not impinge upon regular basketball.

STEP 6 HALFTIME

As the all-star debut wins notice, participation spreads. Squads form. Many may lack enough tallness to use their entire five-Unit allowance, but all appreciate that they will never oppose a "tall team." Also, Short AND Tall rewards hoopability talent.

STEP 7 2ND HALF

Every game-non-starter is automatically placed on the squad's second-half opening lineup. The starters may then re-enter one player at a time.
