Free Throws   
• No Free throw violations for 1st and 2nd grade boys. However, they must 
start behind half court (like a Technical). 
• All “traditional” three-pointers will be as normal – if the original shot is made and the 
player is fouled in the act of shooting, the shooter is given a single free throw – 1 point if 
made.
• Each half of play is 15 minutes in length – the clock will run non-stop until the last 2 minutes of the second half. 
• Each team gets 3 – One min timeouts per game 
• There are only one overtime. 
• In overtime, each team is provided an additional single timeout to be used in all 
overtimes on top of what each team has already. 
• In overtime 1: it will be 2 minutes in length – the clock runs for the first 1 ½ minutes. 
• If there is no winner after overtime then free-throw shot out occurs. 5 free-throws are shot by both teams. If no one wins game ends in a TIE!

-1st thru 3rd grade cannot press in the first half. Once ball has been secured, the defense team 
must retreat to ½ court. 3rd grade can press in second half.

this applies in either half.
