How to win a basket ball game against adults?
My 8th grade basketball team is having a parents vs. players basketball/ fundraiser game and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or plays we could use to beat them. There are some very skilled adults on the team and some very tall adults. Also some kids who don't play basketball want to be in the game so is there any ways you could think of some plays that use only two or three players which would be used if the not so good players go in and there aren't many good players in.

Play "dump and chase" basketball. "Dump and chase" is the style of play in hockey where a team shoots it towards (but not necessarily at) the opposing goalie as opposed to trying to skate it all the way in, and then bum rushes after the loose puck after it hits the boards. Applied to basketball, have your best players shoot 3-pointers with everyone else going hard after the rebound. Longer rebounds from missed three point shots will help negate the adults' size advantage and will play to the advantage of your team's quickness. On defense, foul their bigger players instead of letting them shoot the ball inside. The adults won't be used to playing basketball regularly, so even their best players will be rusty on free throws. If you are playing where players can foul out of the game, have your lesser players rotate in with instructions to use their fouls whenever a taller adult gets the ball in the paint.
