About the Game:

This league is about participation and enjoyment of the game. It is expected that all players have fun while learning the fundamentals of dribbling, passing and shooting in a game situation. All players need to feel that they are contributing to the game in a safe, encouraging and positive environment. With that in mind it is expected that the coach or parents from each team are on the court assisting the players to learn.

    • The hoop is 7ft, the lowest height. The game is played on half a basketball court.

    • There are 4 players per team on the court at any one time. A maximum of 6 on a team is ideal.

    • 2 points for all baskets.

    •  Games begin with a jump ball at the foul line.

    • Rolling subs. A player can sub another player at any time of the game.

    • Man, to man defence, players must play defence on one player.

    • The ball CANNOT be taken from a stationary player. The ball can only be taken on the dribble as long as no contact occurs. One player can defend another player who is shooting the ball but they must stand with their arms straight up and down.

    • After 3 dribbles a player must pass the ball, this is to encourage team play.

    • When the ball changes possession the ball must be dribbled or passed back over the 3 point line before the team is allowed to try and score a basket.

    • After a basket is scored the opposition take the ball back to the 3-point line and passed or dribbled in.

    • At the end of the game, all players from both teams line up and attempt a free shot from in front of the basket. Each successful shot to be a point added to the team’s total points. This is to give every player an opportunity to score a point for their team.
