General Rules

All players MUST have equal playing time- NO MATTER WHAT!  The referee will stop play half way through each quarter for full substitution of all five players.  If you do not have a ten player roster you substitute the maximum players and use a player currently on the floor BUT the same player cannot remain in the game again until all players had the chance to play a full quarter.  NO EXCEPTIONS-this will be monitored.  

We take pride in seeing that all players are treated equal no matter what their experience or strength.  This gives the recreational players a chance to play competitively against experienced players.  In the past, the substitution rule has been violated and it causes a lot of problems with the players and parents who signed up their child knowing our rule for equal playing time in this league.

The teams are comprised of experienced & recreational players.  It is your job as a coach to find a substitution rotation that works for your team.  Just remember no substitutions are allowed except for ½ of the quarter or injury.  This allows all players equal playing time. 

This league is meant to be FUN for all.  Poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated from the players, coaches, parents or any spectators.
