U12 rules
All rules →Man-to-man defence only
No zone defences — every player guards an opponent. It helps young players learn proper defensive skills.
Read the full rule →No full-court press when 20+ ahead
Once a team is winning by 20 points or more, it must stop pressing the other team full court.
Read the full rule →All Must Play
The 1st and 3rd quarters are split into two 5-minute halves so every player gets time on court.
Read the full rule →Size 5 ball
Games use a size 5 ball — smaller and lighter, to suit younger players.
