double teaming

[stmaryrams]

My kids played in a league like this from K-3rd. Each player had a wristband of a different color with a matching opponent. It was always fun watching the coaches switching wristbands to get better matchups. Like it mattered who won a 1st grade game.

No score keeping or standings just playing. Same backcourt rules. They did allow double teams in the paint.

Kids learned alot. It made a big difference when they started in 4th grade school leagues.

Our 4-5th grade teams have several rules like no backcourt pressure on dead balls (4th grade), live ball at all time is allowed.
No press until the fourth quarter in 5th grade. None at all in 4th.
They have playing time rules also - keeps coaches who just want to win at all costs honest.
