A maximum of eight people high school-age or older can be on a team, but only six individuals will receive a T-shirt. At least two women must on the court at all times. Those younger than 18 will need a parent's signature to play, and all players must sign a waiver. The minimum number of players on the court is four, and the maximum is six.
