2023/2024 Season Helpful Information
In house rules and playing time charts are strictly enforcedIn house game rules
in-house playing time chart
3/4 grade = 8 min running clock
5/6 and 7/8 grade = 10 min running clock
Clock only stops on whistles, FT & TO during last 1 minute of 4th qtr
No subs except last 2 minutes of 4th if everyone has played entire 2 quarter (see playing time chart under coaches corner on website) if you have 10 players there cannot be subs per that chart
2 minute pre-game warmup
1 min break between quarters
2 minute halftime break
1-30 second and 1 -45 sec timeouts per half with no carryover
OT will be 2 minute running clock
2nd OT is sudden death
HS 10 min running clock
All the same rules above except they will sub at the five minute mark but the clock will NOT stop running as they make their substitutions.
WE NEED to pay close attention to the two minute pregame warm-up, one minute between quarters and two minute halftime break as well as making sure timeouts only last 30 or 45 seconds this should keep the games flowing as I think sometimes we drag the quarter breaks, timeouts and warm-ups out longer than they should be. Have the coaches get there players ready on the bench before quarter ends so they are ready to go in. We CANNOT linger after game - coaches need to spray player bleachers, scorers table, and door handles after each game

General Rules:Practice and tryout times will be strictly enforced so please remember
End time MEANS OUT OF SCHOOL BUILDING, not hanging out in the hallways - please stress to parents and siblings
If your practice is to end at 7:15 please be respectful of the next team starting at 7:15 and move your kids off the court. If you need to talk, do it quietly but remember you need to be out of the building at the correct time. Vice Versa - if your practice is to start at 7:15 DO NOT have your kids dribbling on the sideline at 7PM. Tell your parents - NO Siblings should be dribbling either - you have the balls - NO ONE should be bringing their own balls to practice or games
Calvary Pres. - In at 6:30p.m, not before, out by 9:30p.m not after on weeknights.
