In ALL DIVISIONS Players are to live in the boundaries of the HS area that their team represents or be expecting to attend HS in the area that they are representing.
Policing this rule is VERY difficult. It is an HONOR rule. Please do the right thing and have the kids on your team be slated to attend the HS area being represented. This is done to help build the local HS programs, HS area pride and keep the competitive balance of the league and avoid a “Super League.” As a youth developmental league we hope that all parents and coaches will respect the rule and one another with regard to the rule and follow it on thier honor. Remember, learning to win is great for a young person and learning to lose is too!
- Players may play up a grade, but not down a grade.
- A Player's age has no determination of where they play, GRADE in school is determing factor only.
- B players may fill in on A teams, but A players MAY NOT play on B teams (unless playing in a higher grade level).
- Players should play on teams representing 1 school area and not multiple school areas.
Utah Bantam is not a qualifying event for AAU nationals and will continue to base participation in UC Bantam Winter, March and Preseason Leagues on Grade Level only.
Forfeit Rules:
- Forfeit time is 10 minutes after scheduled start time.
- Teams may continue play with as few as 2 players (due to fouls, injury, etc) if 4 or more are present to begin the game.
- Please keep games running on time.
Head coach and 2 assistant coaches allowed on the bench per team (no more than 3 adults)
- As in the Utah High School rules, Assistant coaches MAY NOT address officials. Assistant coaches addressing officials will be warned or receive a technical foul at the referee's discretion. Assistant coaches should remain seated at all times during games.
- Further violation of the rule will result in a technical foul and expulsion from the bench (as well as other consequences as outlined above in coach technical foul section)
Spectators are encouraged to, and should, sit on the side of the gym nearest their team. At NO TIME should spectators address opposing coaches or players. Please be respectful of players and coaches on BOTH sides as well as officials.
Basketball size and weight will be the 28.5 (Women’s ball) for Girls and for Boys 4th, 5th AND 6th grades. Official size and weight high school basketball is used for all other age groups.
Back court pressure is prohibited if leading by 20 or more points in ALL DIVISIONS
Back Court Pressure is prohibited in Boys 4BA, Boys 4BN, Boys 5BA, Boys 5BN, Girls 4GB and 5GB Divisions until the last 5 minutes of games. Be sure to inform your officials prior to the start of the game that you are in these divisions for enforcement.
NEW FREETHROW RULES: 2 shots at 7 fouls (no more 1 and 1). High school rules have now eliminated the 1 and 1 with counting fouls by the quarter. At Utah Bantam we will continue to count fouls as prior: 7 fouls in the half gets to the bonus where 2 shots begin.
Uniform Rules
- Uniform: NUMBERS FRONT & BACK are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED
- Uniform colors should match.
- No repeat numbers. Technical fouls can be called to start the game, or when number repeat is discovered at the discretion of the officiating crew.
