- It is compulsory for all players participating in all age grade (under 19’s and younger) competitions, leagues and tournaments run by BBNZ and its members to wear a protective mouthguard when they are on court and the game is in play
- The No Mouthguard, No Play Policy is to be firmly enforced
- Players are not permitted to share mouthguards
- Mouthguards of any colour may be worn (except in FIBA events where they must be non-coloured/transparent)
Please click here to view the BBNZ Mouthguard Policy.
As there is a general acceptance that the consistent use of zone defenses in the younger age groups adversely affects the development of both defensive and offensive skills in younger athletes, the use of zone defenses is banned at all BBNZ Under 14, Foot Locker Under 16 Tournaments and the Junior Secondary School Premierships.
