Age Rules

Children must play in the age group associated with their age as of September 1, 2012.

Team Formation

Each player must attend the player evaluation session scheduled approximately two-weeks prior to the beginning of practice. You can confirm the date for the player evaluation on the SBA website. The players are assessed for general basketball and athletic skills in addition to the uniform sizing. These evaluation sessions allow the coaches within each age division to see your child first-hand prior to the player draft. The player team draft takes place the week after the player evaluations in a way that is fair and fosters very competitive games during the season. Player team notifications will take place shortly after the player drafts.

1. Games will be played in (4) 8 minute quarters. The clock will stop on time-outs and any unusual delay in the ball in play. During the final TWO minutes of the SECOND and FOURTH quarters the clock will stop with each dead ball. In case two-minute overtime is needed the clock will stop at every dead ball.
2. There will be a five (5) minute warm up period between games. This time can be shortened in order to keep the games on time.
3. All age groups will be allotted three (3) full timeouts and (2) 20 second timeouts per game.EACH PLAYER IS REQUIRED TO PLAY TWO UNINTERRUPTED QUARTERS. Any coach violating this rule will be brought before the Board for disciplinary action and will have that game forfeited.
