RULES

  1. We play 1-on-1 defense. Only 1 person may guard another person at a time. No double teaming!
  1. In order to move with the basketball, you must dribble the ball.
  1. Each person on your team must pass the basketball before a shot can be made
  1. Once you stop dribbling, you may pivot, pass or shoot. You have 5s to pass the basketball or shoot once you begin pivoting. After 5s is up, it is a turnover and the other team gets the basketball.
  1. A turnover occurs when:
  1. someone double dribbles
  2. someone travels
  3. there is a foul
  4. five seconds is up
  5. the basketball is thrown out of bounds or a player steps out of bounce
  1. A foul occurs when you have been pushed or your arm has been slapped or grabbed by another player. If you have the ball and are fouled, your team gets 1 point. If you do hot have the ball and you are fouled it is a turnover.
