Is there a minimum playing time rule for “Travel” basketball?
FCYBL does not impose a minimum playing time for the “Travel” teams playing in the county program. In principle, this means that “Travel” teams by FCYBL rules do not have to play any given player a prescribed amount of time as is the case in the “house” league. However, “Travel” coaches make their best attempt to play each child in every game.
FCYBL does not impose a minimum playing time for the Travel teams playing in the county program. In principle, this means that Travel teams by FCYBL rules do not have to play any given player even one minute in any given game. However, CYA has instituted is own minimum playing time rules. By CYA rule, each player who attended the two previous practices must during the regular season play at least 3 minutes per half. If they missed either of the two previous practices, then they should be played at least 3 minutes total during the game. During the FCYBL tournament, CYA leaves playing time up to the coaches.
