Miniball Rules/Notes

  • Games will consist of two 13 minute halves, and will start on each half hour
  • Hoops are lowered to a height of approximately 2.5m
  • A size 5 basketball will be used
  • The free throw line is closer to the hoop than in a standard game
  • Four Dribble Rule Players are allowed a maximum of four bounces of the ball when dribbling at any one time, before having to pass it to a team mate
  • Wristband Rule Players must guard players with the same coloured wristband as them.
  • Retreat Rule Players must retreat to touch halfway when: They lose clear possession in the attacking half; or their team scores a basket (this promotes transition from offence to defense and creates space for dribbling and passing to develop)
  • Fouls Each player has a maximum of four fouls for the game. (This promotes the concept of non-physical play and ultimately leads to better defence)
  • Each team is to wear a consistent uniform, preferably numbered (though we can supply numbered bibs if needed)
  • No timeouts permitted
