GOAL-HI
Three Segment Game
For Physically Handicapped Children

This variation of Goal-Hi is played by three teams with
one common basket. The ball is passed from one player
to another, either laterally or backwards, and the purpose
is to score as many points as possible by tossing the ball
into the basket.

The Court
The court shall be the same as for the official Goal-Hi game,
except that it is to be divided into three equal parts as
shown in the sketch to the left—

Playing Regulations ;

The playing time shall be divided into thirds instead of
quarters and halves, and the length of time to be played
shall be determined by the physical development of the
players.
In order to equalize any advantages that may result from
lighting, ground irregularities, etc., each team shall rotate
from one segment to another at the end of each one-third
period, i.e., Team No. | starting the game in segment “A”
shall begin the second one-third period in segment “C”,
Team No. 2 moving up from segment “B” to segment “A”,
etc.
At the beginning of the game or each one-third period, the
referee shall put the ball in play by tossing it to a player
in the outer court in segment “A”. The player receiving
the ball may pass or dribble the ball, either laterally or
backward, or he may try for a goal.
While the game is in progress, the players on each’ team
shall remain in their own court and not encroach on their
opponents territory. A player is encroaching on his op-
ponents’ territory if any part of his body touches the divi-
sion line in an opponents’ court. The offending team shall
be penalized by loss of possession of the ball to the op-
posing team out of bounds. If a player steps on or over
the out of bounds line, or causes the ball to go out of
bounds, the referee shall hand the ball to the opposing team
whose court is nearest the point where the ball or player
went out of bounds.
When a ball is over the division line, any player of either
adjoining team may jump and tap the ball to a team mate,
if in so doing he does not encroach upon the territory of an
opponent.

Scoring
A goal from the inner court counts two points, and a goal
from the outer court counts three points.

The above rules are merely suggested and should be
modified or elaborated upon according to the
physical development of the players.
