Co-Ed Basketball Rules
GAME REGULATIONS
[Rule 1] Each team on the floor will consist of three (3) players, two (2) male players and one (1) female player. All games must begin and end with at least two (2) players [if only two players, at least one (1) must be female]. Minimum roster age is high school or older. Unlimited substitutions are allowed during a game as long as they legally / correctly enter the game.
[Rule 2] A game is played to the duration of 25 minutes, with a running clock. If the game is tied when time has elapsed the Sudden Winner Rule will be in play, meaning the team with possession of the ball keeps possession and the next point determines the winner.
[Rule 3] Each team is allowed ONE 30-SECOND TIME OUT per game.
[Rule 4] Clock will stop in the event of an injury.
[Rule 5] Possession after a made basket will alternate to team who was on defense; no “make it, take it”.
[Rule 6] A standard field goal will be scored as two (2) points, field goals from behind the 3-point arc will be scored as three (3) points, and free throws will be scored as one (1) point.
POSSESSION AND “CHECKING IN THE BALL”
[Rule 7] A coin toss determines first possession with the Alternate Possession Rule in effect after coin toss (including for jump balls). Both teams must have a representative available and near court they will play on for a coin toss 15 minutes prior to their game time or they automatically lose the toss. Either a league official or someone appointed by league official (most likely court monitor) must adjudicate the toss and result is recorded by a league official.
[Rule 8] The ball must be taken behind the designated 3-point arc on any change of possession (defensive rebound, made basket, “air ball” recovered by defense, turnover or steal, ball out of bounds resulting in change of possession).
[Rule 9] A legal “take back” is defined as both feet and the ball being entirely behind the 3-point arc. Penalty for improper “take back” is a turnover/loss of possession and a warning; second offense and after results in a technical foul.
[Rule 10] The ball must be “checked” by a member of the team on defense at the top of the key after a made basket or a dead ball change of possession. Once the ball is “checked” by a member of the team on defense and returned to the member of the on offense, offensive player must pass ball in; dribbling ball in or shooting the ball will result in a turnover.
FOULS AND VIOLATIONS
[Rule 11] A league official [two (2) if possible – one (1) for every two (2) courts] will be available for communication of infractions and to answer questions regarding league rules. A COURT MONITOR (another team’s captain or “league approved” alternate) will be assigned to each court. They will monitor score, time clock, possession arrow for jump balls.
[Rule 12] A team captain may ask the COURT MONITOR to settle disputes, whether it be “trash talk”/language violations, questionable calls, unsportsmanlike behavior from players or fans, or physically “rough” play. If a captain asks for a COURT MONITOR to rule on a situation, that decision is FINAL – any further discussion will result in a technical foul.
[Rule 13] If a player is fouled while shooting and does not score the basket, the offensive team will shoot one free throw. If a player is fouled while shooting and scores the basket, in addition to the basket, player receives a free throw.
[Rule 14] When a team commits their 5th team foul (and each foul thereafter), if the basket was made, it counts. If the basket was missed, the player who was fouled will shoot a free throw that will count as one point if made. If the free throw is missed, the offensive team retains possession.
[Rule 15] TECHNICAL, INTENTIONAL AND FLAGRANT FOULS: Non-offending team will select a player on the court to shoot a two (2) free throws. Make or miss, non-offending team maintains possession.
END of GAME | FINAL SECONDS
[Rule 16] The clock will stop on every whistle, out of bounds, break in action in the final 30-seconds of the game. The clock will begin once possession is gained-in-bounds from the entry/first pass.
