U14 Division.

Our U14 division consists of 29 teams from 13 different clubs across Tyneside. The division is subdivided into 3 groups. We also have a guest attender from Scotland, Boroughmuir Blaze, attending on some weeks.

Rules

Each game will consist of two 18 minute periods , running clock. Half time will be no more than 3 minutes.

Each game will be preceded by a warm up of a minimum of 2 minutes and a maximum of 5 minutes, to be determined by the CVL officer present.

Each team will have one timeout in each half and one timeout which  can be used in the last minute of the game. Using a timeout in the last two minutes  of the game will allow the ball to be advanced.

The clock will be stopped only for timeouts and dead balls within the last 60 seconds of each period.

In Group A  full court defence can be played after a made basket up to a point where the team playing that defence reaches a 15 point lead. The timeline shall becomes active on a 10 second count as opposed to an 8 second count in adult basketball.

Any non shooting non team control foul after the 7th team foul of each half will result in the award of two foul shots.

Any player who reaches five personal fouls will be disqualified from the games.

Any player who obtains either two technical fouls, two unsportsmanlike fouls or one of each will be disqualified from the game.

In the regular season a tied game will count as a tie.
