Equal Playing Time Guidelines 

 

As a coach, it is your responsibility to ensure all players participate evenly in the games. Every player on your team should have an opportunity to dribble, pass and shoot during every game. You are responsible for ensuring EQUAL PLAYING TIME to the half quarter for all players.  The chart below breaks it down based on the number of players you may have. Substitution time-outs will take place at the four-minute mark of each quarter (or as close to the four-minute mark as possible).

 

  •  If you have 10 players each player plays 2 quarters 

 

  •  If you have 9 players            4 players play 2 1/2 quarter & 5 players play 2 quarters
  •  If you have 8 players            All 8 players play 2 1/2 quarters

 

  •  If you have 7 players            5 players play 3 quarters & 2 players play 2 1/2 quarters
  •  If you have 6 players            4 players play 3 1/2 quarters & 2 players play 3 quarters
  •  If you have 5 players            each player plays 4 quarters
