These are the variations for one of the youth leagues i ref. I feel that they work well for the level of play.
1. Equal playing time. Game is divided into 8, 4 minute shifts, the kid who plays the most, can't play more than 1 shift more than the kid who played the least.
2. No press except the last 2 minutes in each half.
3. Coaches get 4, 45 second time outs.
4. All field goals are worth 2 pts.
5. Swearing at any time for any reason = immediate disqualification/ejection
6. Referees can eject parents
7. You can play any defense you want.
8. No jump ball, alternating possession is determined by coin toss.
I think that this is it. When i go home, i'll have a look in the rulebook to see if there are any more variations. Otherwise its a pretty good league. The only problem is that the refs aren't affiliated with the local board. The refs are just high school students that are trying to do their volunteer hours. So the officiating isn't always the best quality.
