Key Information

Full Start of MTYB Winter Season:

Week of November 3rd Practices

Week of November 10 2025

Week of November 17 2025

Week of November 24 2025

Disclaimer (Published 11/7):

The November schedules are being published early to give coaches an opportunity to review and request any necessary changes. As you’ll see, gym space is extremely limited in some weeks. Some sessions are shorter than usual to accommodate all teams based on the availability coaches submitted, and to avoid younger age groups from playing until 9:45pm. If late slots do not fill, we will make adjustments to extend times where possible. Some weekend slots are available.

As you can also see, we have very limited space over a short week for Thanksgiving. Teams were scheduled based on the preferences coaches shared in the pre season Google Form. Some teams do not have a practice this week and some have only a weekend practice. I followed the preferences you provided.

There is not enough interest to open the gyms on Sunday, 11/30. If you are interested in a Sunday practice, please contact Nick by 11/21.

Please do not ask for a second practice. I am keeping some slots open to accommodate necessary moves.

SCHEDULES

Summer League Rules Supplement


Game Format

Games consist of two 20-minute halves with a running clock, except for the final two minutes of each half, which follow normal stop-clock rules.

Clock will continue running during water breaks in extreme heat conditions.

Overtime is 3 minutes with a running clock until the final minute, which is stop-clock. Each coach receives one timeout (no carryover from regulation).

Substitution Rules

Every player must enter the game at least once every four minutes. Coaches must clear the bench at each 4-minute interval.

Coaches may substitute freely in the final 4 minutes of each half.

Timeouts & Fouls

Two timeouts per half (do not carry over).

Team foul bonus begins at 7 fouls. Team fouls reset at halftime.

Pressing Rules (Same as Winter Season)

Minis (youngest division): No pressing allowed except for the final 30 seconds of each half.

Minor Boys and Minor Girls: No pressing allowed until the final 1 minute of each half.

All other divisions: Follow standard high school press rules.

Team Format

Varsity Division: 5-on-5 play

All other divisions: 4-on-4 play

Weather Policy (Regular Season Only)
If a weather event (e.g., rain or lightning) causes a game to be ended early:

If less than 10 minutes remain in the second half when the game is stopped, the score at the time of stoppage will be final and the game will not be rescheduled.

If more than 10 minutes remain, the game will be made up at a later date, resuming with the same score and time remaining as when it was stopped.
