10 Year Old & Up Division Basketball Rules

WBCYC Mission

The WBCYC is committed to providing a positive and supportive environment for children. “Where every kid plays and volunteers count!”

  1. NCAA Rules govern league play for girls and National Federation for boys. No three point field goals.
  2. All players should receive an equal amount of playing time. Every 5 minutes the coach must rotate their players. (If the team has less then 10 players all players must be rotated, every child should have an equal amount of playing time.)
  3. The game will consist of 2 halves, 20 minutes each half, running time. The last 2 minutes of the game the clock will stop on dead balls. If a game results in a tie, no overtime will be played.
  4. Game will commence with a jump ball and determines alternate possession.
  5. Blue color uniform designates the home team, gold the visitors. The home team is responsible for keeping the clock, score & book.
  6. If a team goes ahead by more then 15 points they must complete 5 passes before shooting the ball. (Two players standing together passing, is not in the spirit of the game and does not constitute a completed pass. The Referee will control the number of completed passes. Additionally, running up the score will not be tolerated.
  7. Teams can play zone or man to man defense. Pressing is not allowed in the backcourt. (For example, once the ball has changed possession, as a direct result of a rebound, stolen or errant pass or take away from a dribbler, the team now on offense must drop back to defense).
  8. Team fouls = 10 per half and will result in 2 free throws. If a player reaches 5 personal fouls they will be removed from the game.
  9. Each team is allowed two, 1 minute time outs, 1 in the first half and the 2nd in the second half (time outs can not be carried over into the next half).
  10. Games cannot be rescheduled, unless WBCYC Office is contacted first (Phone 661-1333) to verify gym availability. The reschedule is subject to the WBCYC Board approval. Additionally, both coaches must agree.
  11. Coaches can be replaced based on the Board of Directors discretion.
