You need to find out what rule set your game is played under: whether it is NFHS, NCAA, or FIBA. Also, at the youth level, there are possibly local rules/modifications. As an example, our CYO JV (4th-6th grade) level does not allow full court pressing or trapping outside the arc after a 10 point lead. Our public middle school league, on the other hand, has a 15 point no press rule.

I often have to remind the officials of this, even the veteran ones, because Middle School and lower levels have so many different local rules, it's hard to keep up with them.
