Games Dates/Locations
National Federation Rules apply with the following modifications
GUIDELINES:
1) Schools will play by grade level only.
Each skill level will play the same skill level from another school.
2) Competitions will be held on Saturday mornings. A school with 20 or more players will be required to field 3 teams. If any grade level team has only 5 players on competition day – then only 2 of the least skilled athletes may swing down and compete in that day’s game.
3) Boys will use a 28.5 Ball
GAME TIME
20 minute halves
5 minute half-time
2 full timeouts per game (clock will be stopped)
2 30 second timeouts per game
4) If within the last 2 minutes of the game – the score is within 6 points – the clock will stop for all dead balls. Once this procedure has begun it will be used the remainder of the game – regardless of the point spread.
5) Tied games will result in a 2 minute overtime. If the game should be tied after the overtime period, the game results in a tie.
6) Personal fouls (after 5 fouls a player will be removed from the game), team fouls, and timeouts will be recorded.
7) 20 Point Rule: There will be no court presses or fast breaks if the point spread is over 20 points. Teams that violate this the first time will be warned. If violated again – the opposing team will shoot two free throws and the ball will be awarded to that same team for an out of bounds play.
NOTE – The defensive team may choose to press when the offensive team is ahead by 20. If the offense breaks this press by throwing the ball long – it is not a fast break.
**Please do not approach coaches with concerns after a game. Email or call to set up a meeting if you have questions or concerns. Our coaches want all students to have the best experience possible, and we can all get emotional during and after games.
