    Miniball Competition Rules:

    • Games 12 minute halves, 1 minute at half time. Running clock.
    • All games are run off the center court clock (courts 2&3) and will start at the same time (be ready).
    • Players must defend the opposing player wearing the same colour band unless a player is heading to score unmarked, and any player can defend this player until such time the assigned player can do so.
    • Substitutions can be made on any whistle at half way.
    • Fouls in the act of shooting will be an automatic 2 points – no free throws
    • 5 team fouls per half – 6th and subsequent team foul will be an automatic 2 points and possession will continue where the offence occurred.
    • Technical or unsportsmanlike fouls on a player or coach will be an automatic 2 points and possession from halfway
    • There is a zero tolerance policy in place regarding player/coach and supporter behavior. All players will have to sign the NBA player code of conduct prior to taking the court.
    • After a basket is scored the scoring team must go back to half way before marking their player. (The person wearing the same colour band).
    • 2018 New Rule: in an extension of the above rule, any change of possession that occurs where the offensive team has to bring the ball up from the back court, requires the defensive team to “retreat to halfway. For example; team A throws the ball out of bounds near their scoring basket, it becomes team B ball. Team A is required to retreat to halfway and let team B come to them.
    • In Term 3, the year 6 competition will have the bands removed so that the following year at intermediate basketball, the jump is not so large.
    • No food, soft drinks or gum allowed in the stadium

     

    DUTY: 1 parent/supporter from EACH TEAM for the score bench while their team is playing.
