Divisions

- 13U Girls
- 13U Boys
- HS Girls
- HS Boys
Defense fouls in the act of shooting = +1 and possession
+2 and possession if behind the arc
And 1 = 1 point and a freethrow. If the freethrow is missed, the same team retains possession. If the freethrow is made, the opposing team checks the ball and regains possession.
Non shooting foul = possession
5+ non shooting fouls = +1 and possession (teaching players to play defense without fouling)
Jumpball goes to the defense
Substitutions can be made at any dead ball
Since we don’t have a charge arc, the team gaining possession gets 1 free dribble before the ball is live again. After the first dribble, the opposing team can steal the ball.
During a check ball, the defender must be 3 feet away from the offensive player with the ball. The offensive player can dribble or pass to make the play live.
