Substitution rules apply to leagues for grades 4-7 only.

It is mandatory to substitute every five minutes regardless of the number of players on your team. When the substitution time out occurs, you must clear your bench unless you have eleven players.

No substitution will be made at any other time unless an injury occurs or a player fouls out. You cannot substitute during timeouts unless a player is injured or fouls out. If that occurs, you must notify the referee that you are doing so. Failure to substitute according to the rules can result in a technical foul.

For teams with ten players , the following playing time will be used:
All players will play 20 minutes

For teams with nine players , the following playing time will be used:
Five players will play 20 minutes
Four players will play 25 minutes (if you consistently have nine players, it is required that who gets the 25 minute playing time will be distributed evenly over the course of the season alternating from game to game )

For teams with eight players , the following playing time will be used:
Each player will play 25 minutes

For teams with seven players , the following playing time will be used:
Five players will play 30 minutes
Two players will play 25 minutes

For teams with six players, there will be some flexibility with normal substitution rules as worked out before the game with the referees and opposing coach.

It is highly recommended to work out your substitution pattern in advance of game time to eliminate having to make judgments in the heat of the game that may or may not be accurate.

Failure to comply with these rules can result in the forfeiture of the game.

Note that technical fouls are cumulative for the entire season. 

Player Technicals:
1st Technical:  normal rules apply
2nd Technical:  ejection from game and suspended for next game
3rd Technical:  ejection from game and suspended for the rest of the season

For example, if a player receives a technical foul in game one and then another in game three, the player will be ejected from the game and suspended for the following game.  Should the player receive a third technical, then the player will be suspended for the rest of the season.  

Coach Technicals**:
1st Technical:  normal rules apply
2nd Technical:  ejection from game and suspended for the rest of the season.

For example, should a coach receive a technical foul in game one and then another in game three, the coach will be ejected from the game and then suspended for the rest of the season. 

**Rulebook technical fouls do not count against the coach nor do any technicals assessed to the team due to spectator behavior.  If a technical is called on a spectator, they will be removed from the building
