Timer will be calling out game time at : –Every score (both team) –Every penalty (both teams) –Every time out (both teams) Before the game, ask the ref what times they want called out. Sometimes coaches ask you to call the time at certain points of the game. Timer: Game Clock

Timer: Penalties Penalties: Technical Foul: player serves 30 seconds Personal Foul: Players serves 1, 2 or 3 minutes Penalty time is regulated by timer. Count out loud to the player during last 10 seconds. state “ release”…to allow him back into game. (“…3,2,1,release”)

Timer: Penalties Penalties: Penalty time runs with game time. If the game clock is stopped (a whistle is blown) then the penalty time is stopped. If there is still time on a penalty at the end of the quarter, the player finishes serving it at the beginning of the next quarter.

Timer: Penalties Releasable vs Nonreleaseable: Releasable: Most penalties are releasable. If the OTHER team scores, the penalty is released no matter how much time is still left. Non-Releasable: Typically for unsportsmanlike conduct. This penalty has to be served in entirety.
