Junior Intramural League

This popular basketball league will continue in 2026.   It is played at Wellington College in the Sportscente or Old Boys Gym during Term Two only on Tuesday lunchtimes or after school (3:25, 4:05, and maybe 4:45) on Tuesday afternoon. There may be catch-up games on Wednesday lunchtimes.

​​​​​​​You must be a Year 9 or 10 student and NOT play for a WC Basketball competitive team.  You can form your own team of friends (10 players) make up a team name, and wear the same team t-shirt colour. Bibs can be provided for the duration of the game.

General Rules

  • Players must be Y9/Y10 social grade registered and have paid subs

  • Players can only play for the team (that they have registered to play for)

  • Play fair and display good sportsmanship to other players/referees

  • Be a positive spectator

Game Rules

  • The game will consist of 18-20 mins halves, 1-minute halftime, 1-2 minutes between games. The games will start on time.

  • Running clock

  • Substitutions can rotate in/out but players must come in exactly where leaving players exit halfway. There should never be six players from one team on the court

  • No time-outs allowed

  • Lunchtime games may be shortened. Teams will be advised.

  • No Free throws

1 defensive foul = 1 point to the opponents' team, the opponent's ball from the sideline.

1 defensive foul whilst in the act of shooting = 2/3 points to opponent's team, the defensive ball from the baseline. i.e same as if shooter had made a shot.

A made shot is an extra point. For example, if an offensive player is fouled while shooting a three-pointer and the shot goes in, their team will gain 4 points.

Any defence allowed

No shot clock violation

For semi and finals if a match is drawn, then extra time will run a golden point period - the first point wins the game..i.e foul/goal.

Competition Rules

Points per match will be allocated based on results

Win = 2 point

Loss = 0 points

Draw = 1 point

Default/bad sportsmanship = -2 point

Unregistered player or player from another JBSL team = -2 and automatic loss of game.

Teams must have at least four players to start a match when the game is to begin (or a default result). It is also at the referee's discretion (especially games straight after school).

Absolutely no arguing with the referees with whom we are developing.

TEAM REQUIREMENTS

  • Teams check the draw and arrive before play as games will start on time.

  • The draw will be posted online and outside the Sports Coordinators office, in the Sportscentre.
