Parent Rules

[BillyMac]

Touching the ring, or the net, while the ball is above the ring, in the cylinder, is basket interference, or worse, it’s goaltending.

Slapping the backboard during a try is goaltending and the basket is awarded.

The top of the backboard is out of bounds.

A player who is fumbling the ball is traveling.

A player who dribbles the ball above his head is palming, or carrying, the ball.

If a player's momentum carries him or her off the court, he cannot be the first player to touch the ball after returning inbounds, if he does so, he is out of bounds.

No matter where the backcourt violation occurs, the ball is always awarded to the other team at the division line.

A moving screen, without contact, is always a foul.

A defensive player has to remain perfectly stationary to take a charge.

There is a three-second count while the ball is in the backcourt.

For free throws when there are no rebounders in the marked lane spaces, i.e. technical fouls, the nine nonshooters shall remain behind the division line.

It is not any type of infraction for a player to excessively swing his arms or elbows without contacting an opponent.

It’s always a kicking violation if the ball strikes any part of the leg or foot.
