Playing Time Policy

Playing time may not be the same for each player.  Coaches are given discretion when determining the appropriate amount of playing time for each player.

 

3rd, 4th and 5th Grade Guidelines -   It is recommended that 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade players be allotted as equal playing time as possible.  All players should receive meaningful minutes of playing time in each half of a game provided they have a positive attitude and give good effort.

 

6th, 7th and 8th Grade Guidelines - Players in 6th, 7th and 8th grade are not guaranteed equal playing time.  While playing time is not always equal, it is recommended that players receive meaningful minutes of playing time in each half.  Playing time is earned  provided players demonstrate the necessary basketball skills, understand basic offensive and defensive concepts, attended practices, project a positive attitude, and give full effort.
