Mini Basketball

Rules and Guidelines

 

For our youngest players (Under-8 to Under-12), we apply Rule Modifications designed to support skill development, confidence, and game understanding. These modified rules are to be read in conjunction with the full Game Day Rules, ensuring a smooth transition as players progress through the age divisions.
