Some of the rules that we use, or have used in the past are:
* No back-court count * No 5 second closely defended count * 5 seconds instead of 3 and encourage refs to talk the players out of the key * Smaller ball (size 5 instead of 7) * No zone - this is controlled by the administrators, not the referees. although refs can lodge a report at the end of games informing administrators that zone was played. * No backcourt press * Shoot free throws from halfway between free throw line and bottom of dotted circle I think the most important thing to have for competitions in this age group is experienced referees. We have a referee that has been doing this age group for well over 25 years (he is 70 years old - check out an article about him at http://www.manlybasketball.com.au/refs/). These sort of referees can take on a coaching role, explaining rules and why a player did something wrong. With the right refs, this can work really well. Hope that I've helped, and good luck with it - you may be responsible for discovering the next Magic or MJ!
