Jr High Ball

[bas2456]

I'm assuming that Jr Highs and middle schools use NFHS rules.

I just picked up a couple of games next week at an area jr. high.

Has anyone encountered rule modifications specific to a jr high/middle school league?

Usually they have middle school or elementary school exceptions to the FED rules. I see you're in the Chicago area. Here in Illinois we have the IESA and the SIJHSAA and both have different exceptions. Just ask some of your fellow officials in your area or call the AD at your local middle school. Or send a PM to JRutledge... he can tell you about Chicagoland.

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're asking where on the map there are school that play 6 minute quarters, I believe the answer would be ... lot of places.

If you mean where in the rules is 901c getting 6 minute quarters, it's here:

NFHS 5-5-2: "Games involving only students below the ninth grade shall be played in six-minute quarters..."

and

NFHS 5-7-3: "The length of each extra period shall be four minutes (or half the time of a regulation quarter for non-varsity contests)...."

Here, overtime periods are 2 minutes in any game with quarters less than 8 minutes. They are 4 minutes for varsity games where 8 minute quarters are played.

I was not aware of 5-5-2, to be honest. I'm surprised they addressed it, frankly. Thanks.
