One challenge in creating a free-flowing basketball game that combines special needs athletes and non-special needs athletes is the wide range of playing ability. Some Athletes bring great experience and skills and others enter with more limited abilities (but still energy!).

To address this we use a Peer: Pair model that was pioneered at Team Prime Time (Prime Time Games). Amongst other things the Peer:Pair model is set up to allow each Athlete to play up to his/her level of ability. It also simplifies training by keeping it centered on the on-court coaching and guidance (from Peer Coaches). Athletes focus on drills, skill and then games — less on rules and setup.
