Referees & Fouls

There will be no referees for league games. Fouls can be called by both the offense and defense. After a foul call, the ball will be taken out of bounds at the location closest to where the foul occurred or checked at the top of the key. No points will be awarded for fouls.

Starting the Game

The team listed first on the schedule will start with the ball. The opposite team will start with the ball in the second half.

Jump balls

All jump balls will go to the defense.

Substitutions

Substitutions can be made during any dead ball or after a made basket. No on-the-run substitutions.

Scoring

Regular scoring rules. 2 points for a shot made inside the 3-point arc. 3 points for a shot made outside the 3-point arc. Players that are currently subbed out will keep score on the flip scoreboard. 

Sportsmanship

Any behavior deemed to be unsportsmanlike or inappropriate by YMCA staff will result in automatic removal from the remainder of the league. No exceptions. No refund will be given to a player who is removed from a league.

Wins & Losses

As this league is an open-play format, wins and losses will be recorded, but there will be no league tournament or league champion.

Game Time

All games will consist of two 20-minute halves with a running clock. A staff member will start the game clock.
