  • 11.1 6 PLAYER – SIT OUT POLICY

    A different player must sit each period. If a team has only six (6) players to start the game, the opposing coach will choose the player to sit the 1st period. In this situation only five (5) of the six (6) players are able to sit one period and one (1) player is allowed to play the entire game.

    11.2 6 PLAYER – FOUL OUT POLICY

    If a team with 6 players has a player foul out during the game, the player sitting out cannot enter the game for the remainder of that period. They must sit out in order to satisfy the requirement to sit out 1 full, continuous period.

    Teams may finish a period with less than 5 players. The team with 6 players shall not be allowed any free substitutions in the 5th period.
