> GB130 79 > Bee Ball Basketball Handbook > Vic Pruden
- A developmental game for boys and girls under 13, Bee Ball is designed to help them learn those skills which are essential to effective team play, particularly decision-making.
- To accommodate their physical abilities, the basket is lower, the ball is smaller, and the court is smaller. With the lower basket and small ball, participants can more easily learn technically-sound movement patterns for shooting, passing, and dribbling.
- Playing on a smaller court that is better-proportioned to their size and strength allows players to execute a pass the length of the court.
- A Bee Ball team consist of 4 rather than 5 players. Thus, without compromising the demands of team basketball, the complexity of what is to be learned is lessened. Furthermore, having fewer players on the court provides more space and more opportunity for each player to handle the ball.

- He articulates his faith in God and his political disagreements with the Christian Coalition (relevant because Smith was long the most popular man in a state that elects Jesse Helms to the Senate) and his discomfort with athletes who appear to believe that God cares who wins a basketball game. Although Smith indulges in some stock homilies and bromides about "life fundamentals", he comes off as a man with compassion, modesty, and honesty, as well as a competitive drive.
