v
Defense – This program is played with JV rules, with the
exception of timing. Man-to-man or zone defenses are
permitted.
v
Pressing – Pressing is allowed
throughout the game. A team may not
press whenever their lead is 20 points or greater.
v
Referees – The referee’s role is to allow players to
develop while keeping control of the game. The
strictness with which violations are called is at the discretion of the referee. A level of strictness will be enforced which aids in the
spirit of developing our players. All
fouls will be called and enforced throughout the game.
v
Violations –
Callable violations include (but are not limited to)
o
Three
seconds - Obvious 3 second violations will be called by the
referee, particularly when a player is gaining an advantage by “camping
in the paint”.

§
An
offensive player brings his dribble to a stop and takes more than the allotted
two steps without shooting or passing the ball.
§
An
offensive player in possession of the ball takes more than one
step in any direction without keeping one foot stationary. The stationary, or pivot foot, must not be moved once it is established.
§
When an offensive player carries the ball while
dribbling.
o
Double dribble – when a player stops her dribble and
then dribbles again.
v
Shooting Fouls – Any foul in the act of
shooting is a two-shot foul and also counts as one
team foul.
v
Intentional Fouls – Any intentional foul
will result in two shots plus possession of the ball at the spot closest to the
location of the foul.
v
Flagrant Fouls – Any player charged with
a flagrant foul shall be ejected from the game immediately. All
ejections should be reported to the division
coordinator as soon as possible.
v
Personal Fouls – On the 5th personal foul, the player is fouled out and shall sit on
the bench for the remainder of the game.
On the 7th team foul in any one half, the other
team is granted a one-and-one situation.
All personal, intentional or flagrant fouls count toward the team’s
total fouls for a half. On the 10th team
foul in any one half, the other team shoots two shots.
v
Technical Fouls – A player shall be
ejected from a game upon receipt of his or her 2nd
technical foul. All technical fouls
shall result in two shots for the other team and possession of the ball at
mid-court opposite the scorer’s table. All ejections should be reported to the division coordinator as soon as
possible.
v
Profanity - Note, any player using foul language during the game
will result in a Technical Foul and immediate ejection from the game. All ejections should be reported
to the division coordinator as soon as possible.
v
Foul Shots – the ball must hit the rim or backboard
prior to anybody (including the shooter) entering the lane. It is a violation for any of the players to
be standing on the lane lines. Only 6 players may
occupy lane spaces, with a maximum of 2 from the shooter’s team. The spaces nearest the shooter shall remain unoccupied.
v
Jump Balls – The game shall be
started with a jump ball. All
other quarters shall be administered according to the
Alternate Possession procedure.
v
Game Time – Under no circumstances shall a game go
beyond its allotted time. No overtimes shall be played. The
referee shall stop the game and the leading team at that time shall be the
winner.
v
Running Time and Stop Time – Games shall consist of
four ten-minute quarters. The first three quarters shall be played with running time and the final two minutes
of the fourth quarter shall be played with stop-time. Therefore only within the last two minutes of
the game shall the clock stop for fouls and out of bounds throw-ins.
v
Time Outs – Each team is granted
two 1-minute time outs per half. They
are not carried over from one half to the next.
v
Fighting/Taunting – There is zero tolerance of any player that
either taunts or fights. Any player observed
doing either of these actions by a referee shall
result in immediate ejection of the player or players involved by the
referee. Any player that takes a punch
at another player, even if he/she does not make contact will be treated the
same as if he or she hit another player and will be ejected. All
such incidents must be reported to the basketball coordinator (Brian Morris(631) 74-2169).
o
Any
player that is ejected a second time within the season for fighting or taunting
shall be ejected from the St. Anthony’s basketball program for the remainder of
the season (there will be no refund made).
v
Substitutions – Subs are allowed to be beckoned into the
game by the referee if they are at the scorers table and have provided their
number to the score keeper. Substitutions are not automatic upon the horn
sounding and all players must wait to be beckoned by
the referee before entering.
v
Miscellaneous - Shirts must be tucked
in at all times. No jewelry shall be worn during games.
If a player wears glasses, they must be worn in
such a way as to keep them from falling off during normal play.
v
Playing Time – All players shall be
granted the opportunity to play an equal amount of time during the game
or scrimmage. Generally
speaking this means each child will play approximately half a game in
terms of minutes to the best of the coaches’ ability. This program is designed to help teach
children and gain their confidence, not win ballgames through
the use of selected players. All
coaches in all age groups within St. Anthony’s CYO shall follow this rule.
v
Have
fun and please follow the St. Anthony CYO
Philosophy.
