The man to man full court press may not be used in any 4^th-6^th grade division except in the last two minutes of the game and overtime.  In order to avoid being warned for playing a press, defensive players cannot pick up the offense until the ball crosses half-court. No double teaming, a player may play help defense but must immediately return to his man.  First offense - warning, second offense - technical foul.
