Rules of Granny Basketball
Rules of Granny Basketball
Rules are consistent with 1920s-era basketball. They pay tribute to the women who came before us and provide a safer game for older players.
No running (hurrying is allowed)
No jumping
Only two dribbles per possession
An underhanded "Granny" shot is worth three points
If a player falls, a "Granny Down" is called and the player has to sit out for a minimum one play.
Players are to wear official throwback uniforms and may not expose too much skin. A flesh foul will be called for a violation.

Granny Basketball Uniforms
Granny Basketball Uniforms
The team uniforms are designed to replicate the 1920s era uniforms, both as a tribute to the early days of girls basketball, and to allow players who are no longer young a degree of modesty.
White shirts must have 3/4 or full length sleeves, middy (sailor) blouses contain the player's number, knee-length bloomers and long stockings or tights to cover the legs. Modern tennis shoes are fine!
