Progressing Rules

• Exceptions to traditional basketball dribbling apply in unicycle basketball if a player is motionless or progressing by balancing, twisting or idling on the unicycle. A progressing player who catches the ball can idle three times before making the next move.
  
  

Dribbling Rules

• The rule of double dribbling does not apply if not in motion and the player holds the ball for 5 seconds or less before throwing it to a teammate. A player cannot make a consecutive dribble unless the ball has touched another player, or the other team's basket or backboard.
