Bankshot takes the speed and aggresssion out of basketball and replaces it with the development of a subtle touch and a creative shooting strategy. Players play alongside each other not against each other.
Players play primarily against themselves.
Skill - not size, strength or stamina determine proficiency in the new sport. The Discovery Museum has integrated Bankshot in their mathematics and physics display. In addition to the fun that everyone has playing the new sport, Bankshot also combines important creative and scientific elements. To score, it is necessary to understand trajectories, physics and calibrations. The Discovery Museum is the third museum displaying Bankshot Bankboards which are a new form of sculpture called SportStructures.
