AYL Basketball Rules 

Generally speaking, there are two set of rules, one for the 2nd Grade/3rd Grade and one for the 4th Grade and older. The rules have been organized in such a way that rules that are common to all competitions are listed first, followed by rules that are specified by grade. 

Friday, Saturday and Sunday Games

Games can be scheduled as early as 9 AM and as late as 8 PM. The goal is to have all games played on Saturdays regardless of grade level. Sunday games would only be scheduled due to gym availability and/or any unforeseen circumstances. 

Absolutely no food or drink other than water are allowed inside gyms. 

Each team shall provide one adult to work as the scorekeeper or timekeeper for each game.
