For grades 3rd through 5th, there will be three divisions. Teams should select the division that best aligns with their competitive level.

The season format will include 6 games within divisions and 2 cross-division games to aid in tournament formatting. Tournament guidelines will be provided soon.
Rule Changes
-
Reverting to the normal free throw rule with double bonus after 5 fouls per quarter.

The "1 for 2" free throw rule used during the girls' season led to scheduling challenges and increased overtime games.
