Mark,
6th grade home had full court press all game. Home won by 38. I just remind myself that to the 10 girls on the floor it is the most important game in the world at the time. And I try to smile and laugh a lot.

Stat-Man: What's the penalty if they press and are up by 10 or more? Just wondering.
David M: It was two games. 5th graders played and then a 6th grade game, not combined.

The "Official" Penalty is a warning the first time followed by a bench technical for subsequent violations. But it wasn't uncommon to see officials give out multiple warnings instead.
I think one game, the opposing team was warned 4 or 5 times and even our coach was asking when they were going to call the T like they were supposed to.
And for what it's worth, here's our point margin rules:
10 points (6th grade) or 20 points (8th grade) - no press
Up by 20 - Must have three starters out of the game*
Up by 30 - All starters must be out of the game*
* unless there are too few subs to do this or other similar scenarios.
