Rules for 3v3v3 Short Court League

• Purpose: the purpose of this league is to develop your skills and decision making during the off season

• Code of Conduct: You will be held to a high standard of conduct when in Shoot 360 Spokane.  There will be no swearing, dirty play, talking negatively to or about officials or other players, or general laziness.  You're here to work hard and improve.

• Rules of the 3 v 3 v 3:

  • NO COACHING is allowed 

  • Shoot 360 employees will be officiating each game.  Any parents, spectators, or players that are rude towards the officials will be asked to leave.

  • Team running score will be kept by a score keeper, but there will be no individual points or fouls, nor team fouls kept.

  • Standings will be kept on www.shoot360spokane.com and will be based on total running score, accumulated over each week.  We will also keep a running total of the number of games won by each team.

  • The last week we will play the normal two games and then a 3rd championship game with the top 3 teams.  

  • This is full court 3 on 3, but the courts are only 72' instead of the normal 84'.  In general, if you score, you keep the ball.  You can score up to 6 times in a row and then on the 6th time you score you are awarded 3 extra points and the defense takes over possession.  To get the ball, you need to get a defensive rebound or steal.  Once a defensive rebound or steal is secured, the team that was on offense is dead and cannot try to get the ball back.  They are now out and waiting for their next turn defensively.  This will be very fast paced and you will need to be alert mentally the entire time.

• Scoring Rules:

  • Scoring will be by 2's and 3's, just like normal scoring.  If you score, you grab the ball right out of the net and turn and go the other way.  You DO NOT need to take it out of bounds or check it up with anyone.​

  • Any non-shooting defensive foul will result in the offensive team immediately getting 1 point, and they will retain possession and go the other way on offense.  A shooting foul will be an automatic 2 points, and they will retain possession and go the other way on offense.  A shooting foul on a 3 pointer will be an automatic 3 points and they will retain possession and go the other way on offense. An offensive foul will result in the defense getting 1 point and possession of the ball immediately going the other way.  If a player is fouled on a shot and the basket goes in, the bucket counts, they get 1 point for the foul, and they retain the ball and go the other way.

  • If a player gets a technical foul for dirty play or arguing/talking to an official disrespectfully, they are out for the remainder of the games that day and they are out of the games the next week.

  • There are no FT's shot at all.  There is no advantage to fouling, so playing clean defense with your feet will be emphasized and rewarded.

  • The team that is waiting on defense on the other end, can only go up to 1/2 court to defend.  They cannot pick up full court.

  • Teams cannot sub during a possession.  You sub when your team is out or waiting on defense.
