Uniforms/Jewelry – Players must wear their team shirt and it must be tucked into shorts. No jewelry of any kind may be worn.
Coaches- are to stay in the area of their respective benches during games. They are not allowed to criticize or yell at players from the opposing team or yell at officials.
If you question a call, call a time out and calmly discuss it with the official. There are no protests. Coaches should not yell at or publicly ridicule their players. This
program is for teaching basketball. If you have constructive criticism, please do it in a calm manner.
Please remind your players' parents, only players should be dropped off for practices, not brothers and sister. Remind parents that they are responsible for the behavior
of these other children. Any children not supervised will be removed from the building.
Each team is responsible for their fans. If a referee is being harassed by parents of your team, the referee may call a 2 shot technical foul against your team. Poor
sportsmanship by parents will not be tolerated! Our referees are volunteering their time, and should not be ridiculed by parents who refuse to volunteer, but instead
harass referees.
Playing Time – Every player must play a minimum of half the game. No player may sit out consecutive half/quarters. . If a player has not attended at least 50% of their
team's last 4 practices or if a player is not present prior to the start of their game, then that player must play at least 1/4 of each game. (Note: coaches must notify the
scorekeeper as to which players are not present and those players who have missed 50% of their last 4 practices).
th
Pressing – Divisions with pressing may only do so in the 4 quarter. You may not press if you have a lead of 10 or more.
th
Fouls – Six (6) fouls per half. 1 and 1 fouls shots starting with the 7 foul each half. Ten (10) team fouls – 2 foul shots.
th
Personal Fouls – Each player is allowed five (5) fouls. Upon receiving the 5 foul the player will be ejected from the game.
Overtime – Overtime will be 3 minutes. No division will have more than, 1 overtime. Only one timeout is allowed in overtime. If the game is still tied at the end of the 3
minute overtime then the game will end in a tie.
Training Division-No back court guarding unless the ball has already come into the forecourt and is brought to the backcourt. Note: Offensive player must have both
feet in the forecourt before he may be guarded. Exception: Last 10 seconds of game, a team may guard full-court. There is a 10 second rule for bringing the ball into
the forecourt and there is no backcourt (due to the limited size of the gyms). Once the ball comes into the forecourt, it may go back to the back court, but defense may
cover.
*Timing Regulations – A game shall consist of four (4) periods of (8) minute duration in all divisions. If teams have 10 or more players present, 9 minute periods may be
played if agreed to by the coaches.
Violations - Each team will be allowed 2 violations per half before technical fouls will be called for backcourt guarding, double teaming, etc. Technical fouls will be shot
on third violation. Training and J.V. Divisions only.
A defensive player who rebounds the ball is considered in possession of the ball if he/she comes down with the ball in both hands, and is not juggling the
ball. If, at this time, a player from the opposing team reaches in to tie up the rebounder, a backcourt guarding violation will be called and not a jump
ball. If offensive and defensive player come down together, a jump ball will be called. Training and J. V. Divisions only.
No jump balls except at start of game and start of each overtime period. We will have alternating possession.
There will be no 3 point field goals in the Training Division.
Note: If we play other towns with our Boys and/or Girls Varsity Division, rules may be adapted per agreement of coaches. All HK players must still play half a game.
