A kids’ basketball game typically lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their age group and the league’s rules. Here’s a general breakdown:
1. Ages 5-7: Games usually consist of four 6-minute quarters, with short breaks in between. The total game time would be around 24 to 30 minutes.
2. Ages 8-10: Games might have four 8-minute quarters, totaling 32 minutes of playtime, with longer breaks between quarters.
3. Ages 11-12: Games often last for four 10-minute quarters, totaling around 40 minutes of playtime, plus breaks and halftime, bringing the total to around 1 hour.
4. Ages 13 and older: Games for older kids, particularly in leagues like middle school or high school, can follow standard adult basketball rules with four 12-minute quarters, making the total game length around 1.5 hours, including breaks and halftime.
The exact duration can vary based on the league and location.
