The early season uses both sessions for practice.  As we get into late December or early January, they have organized scrimmages with other division teams.

 

There are no ‘official’ games, meaning we don’t use ‘striped shirt’ referees, keep official score or record wins and losses.  While there might be a scoreboard provided, there are rules regarding how scores are reflected during the game.

 

Players should be playing as close to equal time as possible, depending on the number of participants.  Ideally, with 10 players, all should play for 2 quarters (18 minutes).
