RECRUIT WI RULES

The officials will provide one game ball that is cleaned between each game.

Athletes should bring their own balls for warm-ups. Players/spectators will not be allowed to dribble on the sidelines or shoot during breaks.

These Basketballs should only be used during that time - not in lobby/hallway or during stoppage in play.
