1. No zones! (It is not hard to teach m2m to little kids. Sure, they may be chasing around behind their "man" much of the time, but it is not hard to teach them to stay between thier "man" and the basket. Help defense can get introduced as the kids gain a little more experience. They can always learn to play zone when they are older if they get the right skills early. Also, at the beginning of each period, the teams line up for a match-up. There are even some leagues that give each player on each team one of 5 different colored wrist bands. Your "man" is the player with a matching wrist band.)
2. Substitutions only at the end of periods unless injury.
3. 8 minute running clock quarters, except last 2 minutes of game.
4. No player may play more that 2 quarters unless every player has played 2.
5. No player may play more that 3 quarters.
6. Every player must play at least 1 quarter.
7. No full court press
8. 8 1/2 foot baskets
9. No 3 point baskets.
10. Officials have authority over parents/spectators.
Of yeah, no Green Bay Sweeps
