Not notified of 5th foul

Just curious, but it seems a bit strange to hear youth leagues, especially down to third grade, sort of bypassing high school rules, and using NCAA. I'd bet the majority of rec youth leagues, most AAU or travel (competitive) games go by NFHS standards. Heck, round here even the Adult Open Leagues use high school rules (with a few exceptions like 20 minute halfs). This I believe is because a great majority of the pool of officials that can be used in a given area are going to be high school sanctioned and thus more familiar with that level than college. I doubt many college officials are at the local rec center on Sat mornings running with some 4th graders

The league that I officiate in uses NCAA rules for the girls and NFHS for the boys. I am currently only certified for the girls. Now, on top of the NCAA rules, there is a layer of NYS modifications and then there are further modifications for the particular league that I officiate in. So, our base is NCAA, but with the modifications that I mentioned.

I will definitely reference NCAA rule book in any of my future posts where I am asking about rules and situations.
