icba rules

Langhorne Travel Basketball follows the rules of the ICBA League. See ICBA website for details.

Per league rules, August 1st serves as the determining date for a player's "basketball age" for the upcoming season. Eligibility to participate is based first on the age determining date. The grade of the athlete is not a consideration if the athlete meets the age determining date. An athlete who does not meet the age determining date may qualify under the grade exception rule. In the 8U/3rd Grade through the 13U/8th Grade divisions, each team is allowed a maximum of three grade exception athletes.

ICBA permits teams to carry 2 nonresident players. Langhorne Travel Basketball will consider non-resident players when filling roster spots based on the ICBA's rules regarding player movement.
