Rising Suns (previously Little Ballers) is a non-competitive league where teams and players who are new to the game can learn the rules of basketball and get used to game situations.
Rising Suns games run under a set of modified rules which are slightly different for each of its three levels. Each level is designed to get players used to the main rules of the game such as traveling, double dribble etc. The games are “officiated” by referees/development coaches in a way where play will be halted when a player violates one of the rules.
In many of these cases the referee/coach will explain the rule to the player and give them back the ball at the sideline. A copy of the modified rules for the Rising Suns development league can be found here.
For Season 2 – 2021 Rising Suns we will be offering;
Rising Suns Year2/3 &
Rising Suns Year 4/5
Rising Suns is a development program aimed at fun, teamwork & building the skills ready to start in U11’s domestic competition. Season 2 will have full 40 minute games under modified rules with games starting at 5pm Wednesdays.
