Playing off 2 feet Live:- 5 minutes of the drill shown in the video below--one dribble power stop and finish, however after they do it a couple time then have one player play defense and try to stop the offense from scoring. Once everyone has gone through once, switch the defender- Have this going on BOTH sides of the basket so kids are getting more reps and the offense switches sides each time they go
- Remainder of the time we are going live (1 v 1):
- Players start on the same wing, one on offense and one on defense (defense is playing dummy)
- Player with the ball makes a move out of the triple threat (jab step or jab crossover) and must come to a two-foot stop in the key, pivot to make a pass back to the defender (who is still on the wing)
- When the player catches the ball, the passer is now closing out and we are going live. The player now on offense must make a move to try to score, but must do so finishing off two feet

- Each game will consist of two (2) 16 minute running halves. Halftime is two (2) minutes
- The last two (2) minutes of the game, refs will keep time on a stopwatch and countdown the last 30 seconds. If the game is close (within 6 points), the clock will stop in the final minute of the second half
- Each team will get one (1) timeout per game. Timeouts are 45 seconds long
- Every free throw/shooting foul is one (1) free throw. A make equals two (2) points and a miss equals zero (0) points
- AND ONE’s results in three (3) points, NO free throw
- Pressing: 1st and 2nd grade will have a NO press rule in order to keep the flow of the game going. For all other grades, pressing is permitted in the 2nd half if the score is within 10 points.

- Overtime Regular Season: Go immediately to shootout where each player gets one free throw attempt.

If there is a tie after this, repeat the process.
- Overtime Playoffs and Finals: Add 3 minutes to the clock and play the full 3 minutes. If there is a tie after this, Add two minutes and play the full 2 minutes. If it goes Triple OT, go into a shootout.

- If there is still a three-way tie (ie-each team is 1-1 in the latest matchups), the higher seed will go to the team with the highest point differential for the latest of the matchups.
