Baskin is a new sporting activity that is inspired by basketball but has special and innovative features. A set of 10 rules governs the game, giving it incredibly dynamic and unpredictable characteristics. This new sport is designed to allow able-bodied and disabled youngsters to play in the same team (made up of both boys and girls!). In fact, Baskin allows the active participation of players with any type of disability (physical and/or mental) that allows them to shoot a basket. The rigid structure of official sports is thus challenged and this proposal, carried out in the school, becomes a social workshop.

The 10 rules emphasise the contribution of each boy/girl within the team: indeed, joint success really depends on everyone. This adaptation, which personalises the responsibility of each player during the game, positively overcomes the spontaneous tendency towards a 'caring' attitude sometimes present in proposals for physical activities for disabled people.

The Baskin rules adapt:

1. the material (use of several baskets: two normal ones; two lower lateral ones);
2. the space (protected areas provided to ensure shooting in the side baskets);
3. rules (each player has a role defined by his motor skills and consequently has a direct opponent of the same level. These roles are numbered from 1 to 5 and have their own rules);
4. deliveries (possible assignment of a tutor, team player who can more or less directly accompany the actions of a disabled companion).

Game rules - Baskin Discipline (Rev. 17)

For everything not defined in the following Regulations of the Game, reference is made to the Official Technical Regulations of Basketball 2019 of the Italian Basketball Federation (FIP) and any subsequent official amendments, including those not yet integrated into the official text but published in separate documents. For practice outside the Italian territory, the reference Rules are those of the FIBA national area Federation of reference (e.g. Fédération Française de basket-ball FFBB for France) and, in the absence of a reference Federation, those of FIBA itself. 

The changes relating to Rev. 17 are highlighted in yellow and concern: clarification on the presence of gender in the case of a 3-role 5 line-up, the possibility for a role 3 player to shoot at the side basket without taking 2 dribbles, the absence of rebounding on a role 3 free throw at the side basket, a technical foul for a player who calls the ball in possession of an opponent. The part of Rule No. 8 on illegal "offensive assists", highlighted in light blue, was maintained on an experimental basis. Changed the definition of players by introducing the term: player with or without a disability.
