Old Colony League 4th Grade Rules

TIME - Game consists of two 20 minute halves with running time. Time will change to stop and go for the last two minutes of the game if the teams are separated by 10 points or less. Running time will continue if the score spread is greater than 10 points.

FREE THROWS - Player must start behind the foul line but will be allowed to cross the line, if the player's momentum takes her over the line while releasing the shot (no running up to the line). All players, including the shooter, must not move to rebound a missed shot until the ball has hit the rim.

DEFENSE - Defense will pick up at half court. Full court man to man pressing only will be allowed during the last two minutes of the game if the teams are separated by 10 points or less. Neither team will be allowed to press if the teams are separated by greater than 10 points. No double teaming will be permitted at any time, including during full court man to man pressing, outside the three-point line.

NO ZONES ARE ALLOWED — MAN-TO-MAN DEFENSE ONLY
Outside the three-point line no double teaming allowed. Between the three-point line and the lane, double team is allowed. When the Offense has the ball inside the lane, there is no restriction. (See "long" version of rule interpretation at the end of the rules). First violation will result in a warning. If there is a loss of possession due to the violation, the ball will be given back to the offensive player. Subsequent violations will result in a technical foul against the coach.

OFFENSE - Since man-to-man defense is being used, isolation plays including spreading the offensive players to the four corners of the half court are not allowed. First violation will result in a warning, subsequent violations will result in a technical foul against the coach.
