2011-12 CYA House Rules

Update: 9 December 2011

Both the CYA Rules summary sheet and a revised version (dated 12/8/2011) of complete CYA Basketball House Rules for 2011-12 have been posted. The revision to the full Basketball House Rules aligned the full Basketball House Rules with the Rules Summary, eliminating the inconsistencies on overtime (both sets of rules now specify that 3rd grade does not have overtime periods) and time outs (both boys and girls 7-8 grade now get 3 full and 2 30-second timeouts).

If you notice any inconsistency or ambiguity in the rules, please notify Rien Kiewel, the Rules/Sportsmanship coordinator, at rien.kiewel@verizon.net.

Sportsmanship Issues

Reporting

All instances of poor sportsmanship displayed by any player, coach, official, or spectator as well as all behavior-related technical fouls must be reported to CYA Basketball within 48 hours of the game or event.

Any displays of poor sportsmanship can be reported to CYA Basketball by anyone (officials, coaches, players, or spectators). However, reports are required from at least one referee and both coaches in the following situations:

Yellow or red card issued by CYA House referees for unsportsmanship behavior
Technical fouls (except administrative technical fouls) issues by CYA House referees or Cardinal referees

The Incident Report form on the left side of this page should be used if possible to report such behavior. Completed incident forms should be sent to Referee Coordinator, Monica Despins (despinsm@yahoo.com) or to the Sportsmanship Coordinator, Rein Kiewel (Rein.Kiewel@verizon.net) and to the league administrator for the league involved or the Boys/Girls Commissioner. If the behavior warrants further investigation and possible disciplinary action, then the issue will be referred to the CYA Basketball Sportsmanship Committee.
