Basketball Rules (2025-2026)

High School rules will be followed with the additions below:

THE TEAM TO WIN THE BEST OUT OF THREE GAMES WILL DETERMINE THE WINNER OF THE MATCH. “GAME POINT” FOR THE FIRST TWO GAMES WILL BE “25” WITH NO “CAP”. GAME POINT FOR THE TIE BREAKER WILL BE “15” NO “CAP”. A “LET” SERVE IS GOOD. THE “LIBERO” IS OPTIONAL. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INFORM THE OTHER TEAM IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE A LIBERO. TWO TIME-OUTS PER GAME (MAX. 60 SECONDS EACH). YOU ARE LIMITED TO EIGHTEEN (18) SUBSTITUTIONS PER GAME.

LEAGUE RULES FOR A “TIE BREAKER”

We will incorporate the following procedures to determine who participates in any League Championship if a “tie” exists at the end of the season:

Two-Schools Tied: these procedures will follow in order until the tie is broken:

Won-loss results of head to head competition between two schools
Won-loss record of the two schools versus the highest seeded school

(proceeding through the lowest seed if necessary-division contests first; mutual non-division contests if applicable)

Points allowed against the #1 seed. ***Except for Soccer where Goals Against for ENTIRE SEASON will be used as the final tie breaker
Coin Toss

Three or more schools tied: these procedures will be followed in order until the tie is broken:

Total won-loss record of contests played among the tied schools
Won-loss record of the tied schools versus the highest seeded school(proceeding to the lowest seed if necessary-division contests first: mutual non-division contests if applicable)
Points allowed against the #1 seed. ***Except for Soccer where Goals Against for ENTIRE SEASON will be used as the final tie breaker
Draw to eliminate one school.

MIDDLE SCHOOL/HIGH SCHOOL ELIGIBILITY(FHSAA)

A MIDDLE SCHOOL PLAYER WHO MOVES UP TO PLAY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL MUST OBSERVE THE 24 HOUR WAITING PERIOD BEFORE THEY MAY RETURN TO PARTICIPATE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL. A PLAYER MUST PLAY IN 50% OF MIDDLE SCHOOL LEAGUE GAMES TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR POST SEASON PLAY (in the case of an uneven number of games we would round up. Ex: 5 games ,must play in 3). A PLAYER IS LIMITED TO PLAYING IN A TOTAL OF THREE GAMES A WEEK. THIS IS TO PREVENT A SCHOOL PLAYING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WITH A DIFFERENT TEAM THAN THAT OF WHICH THEY HAD DURING THE SEASON.
