LEAGUE RULE BOOk

Rello Runs Academy F.T.E leagues are for the players. Kids need to enjoy the sport to want to improve.  The key focus is building their Faith, Teamwork and Encouragement through the game!  This is an opportunity to develop basketball skills in a fun, non-coached, low-stress environment.  We encourage healthy competition in which kids play hard and play to win but not at the expense of belittling opponents and displaying poor sportsmanship.  We ask that players and parents conduct themselves appropriately and exhibit good sportsmanship.

GENERAL 

– NO COACHES.  Players will handle their own substitutions and plays.

– NO FIGHTING/ TAUNTING.  Fighting will result in game forfeiture and immediate suspension from the league.  Taunting before, during, or after the game may result in team suspension. We will use our words to speak life and build others up.

– PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL to Rello Runs Academy staff.

PARENTS/GUARDIANS

– No coaching during game time. Cheering, however, is encouraged and needed. We want the kids to play, problem solve and figure out some things on their own to help build their resilience.

– All players need completed liability waivers signed by a parent/guardian to participate. Teams can have a minimum of 3 players and maximum of 6 players. 3 players on the floor and 1-3 players as subs. Subs are required to have a completed liability waiver.

– Help to keep the facility clean. Please pick up garbage and water bottles at the end of your games.

PLAYER CONDUCT

– No swearing, taunting or inappropriate verbal or physical behavior. Unsportsmanlike play may result in: 1) Warning; 2) Sitting out (ref discretion); or 3) ejection from the game or league.

If unnecessary or excessive fouls occur, the ref may impose a technical foul (2 pts plus the ball).

– No hanging on the rim or net.
