NFHS rules allow for zone defense. The opposing team can guard your big kid with all 5 players if it wants. Unless your organization specifies no zone defenses in its guidelines, I'd have the other kids practice their layups.
Also realize about the officiating:
1. A game amongst 12 year olds is going to be called ALOT differently than a high school or college game.
2. The officials at this level may have little or no training, and are just in it for the $15 a game they are receiving for spending a few hours in the gym each Saturday morning. Don't be too hard on them. There aren't too many other folks willing to volunteer their time.
Welcome to the board.
