5 Recreational League Philosophy It is the goal of the HCPL athletic staff to provide a recreational league that allows the youth of our county to have fun and learn life skills through organized athletic activities. This is aimed at ensuring an equal and fun atmosphere that offers a positive learning experience for all that are involved. It is important that the fundamentals of the game are taught in a way that allows for participants to learn and develop in a competitively relaxed setting.

Your region s Athletic Coordinator will be in contact with you to schedule practices. All coaches using a school facility must sign and abide by the Facility Use Agreement for the Hall County School System.

12 Zero Tolerance Policy The Zero Tolerance Policy is in effect for the entire season. This includes all coaches, athletes, and fans. Anyone that is ejected from a game is automatically ineligible to be at the next game. Further suspension will be reviewed and decided by HCPL staff. A second offense will result in a suspension for the remainder of the season.

13 Prominent Rule Outline 3 Point Arc Press For K-1 st Grades Only Once the 3-Point Arc is crossed, a defensive player can advance beyond the arc to guard the offensive player. Ten second count to cross the 3 point arc once over half court Half Court Press For 2 nd 3 rd Grades Only Full Court Press 4 th 8 th Grade Rec and All Elite If one team gains a 15 point advantage, they will not be allowed to full court press (Recreation League Only)

14 Prominent Rule Outline Overtime: 2 minute overtime if there is enough time in the hour limit. If the game is still tied after the two minute overtime, the game will finish with a sudden death overtime. First team to score will win. Free-throws do count as a scoring play. Elite League will follow this format until there is a winner, regardless of the time limit

16 Prominent Rule Outline Equal Playing Time Players must play one full quarter in the 1 st half (10 minutes required) and part of a quarter in the 2 nd half of the game (5 minutes required). Although this is our baseline rule, we encourage that all players get as much playing time as possible and that it done equally across all players.

17 Bench Rules Only approved coaches or scorekeepers will be allowed in the bench area. Each team is allowed one head coach, one assistant coach, and a scorekeeper to be present in the bench area. Anyone that does not have a BGC on file with HCPL will not be allowed in the bench area.

18 Elite League

19 Elite League Philosophy While it is important for us to provide a recreational league that provides an opportunity for leisure and learning, there is also a desire within the community for a division that offers a higher level of competition. The Elite Division is aimed at providing a highly competitive league that tests the participant s skill level in order to heighten their athletic abilities. However, it is important for children to properly develop basic fundamentals and understandings of the game before they begin competing at a higher level.

20 Elite League Guidelines This division is only offered for the 3 rd -6 th grade age divisions. A participant will be allowed to play up a grade level in order to begin competing in the Elite Division early. Teams must registered as a complete team in person through HCPL in order to be eligible to participate in this division. There is no drafting process. Hand selected teams are welcome. This includes travel organizations.
