Athletes for Africa is a charitable organization that uses the power of sport to educate and engage Canadians in Africa's fight against poverty, famine and disease.
This unique basketball skills game is played by a two-player team. Each team has one minute to score as many baskets as possible from any of the designated shooting spots clearly identified on a half court. Each shooting spot is worth a different point value based on the difficulty of the basket. At the end of the competition, the winner in each category with the highest score wins.
