One rules reminder for Conqueror Basketball League, zone defenses are NOT allowed until players reach the sixth grade. Some coaches in the younger leagues are attempting to play matchup zones and claiming it is a person-to-person defense. This is not allowed. Make sure all younger teams are NOT playing zone defense.
