Quarter length for 9th grade

[bainsey]

All high school games here have 8-minute quarters. Some middle schools do eight minutes, some seven. I have never seen a six-minute quarter here in scholastic basketball.

The conference I assign plays 7 minute JV quarters.

A lot of this stuff is local.

thanks everyone.
we do 8 minutes varsity, 7 minute JV, and six or seven minutes freshmen.

My state changed JV to 7 minutes this year, but very few schools have bumped the pay accordingly.

Travel leagues have also started doing 7 minute quarters, and those games pay as low as $20/game. Way too low IMO.

All public, and Catholic, high school games (varsity, junior varsity, freshman): 8 minutes.
Public middle schools: Most 8 minutes; Some 7 minutes.

Catholic middle school seventh grade, and eighth grade, "varsity": 7 minutes.
Catholic middle school fifth grade, and sixth grade, "junior varsity": 6 minutes.

Prep schools (high schools, some with post graduate programs): 16 minute halves.

Same here....all HS (Fr, So/JV2, JV, and V) are 8 minute quarters.

Around here it is up to the conference. Many play 7:00 minutes but not all of course.

Try it (on a sub-varsity level), you'll like it. Here in the RVA, the length of a quarter for a sub-varsity contest is all over the place (6, 7, or 8). I show up, and work the game/s.

The state regulates quarter length in Missouri.

Any game involving 7th or 8th grade players is 6-minute quarters.

Freshmen games are maximum 7-minute quarters. (Can play 6 if they want)

JV games can be any length, 6-8 minute quarters. I've had small school JV games where they play 6-minute quarters. Most play 7, some of the bigger schools play 8.

Varsity has to be 8-minute quarters.

Most schools around here play 6 minute quarters for sub-varsity. Although, one conference had a weird policy for JV games when I was in school. 1st and 3rd quarters were 6 minutes, 2nd and 4th were 7 minutes (or maybe vice versa).

Most JV games around here are played before varsity doubleheaders, so we play 6-minute quarters for those games.
