The Kenya Roll Ball Federation (KRBF) with conjunction with the
International Roll Ball Federation (IRBF) has a comprehensive
set of governing documents that include a constitution, bylaws, regulations, and policies.
The constitution outlines the organization's fundamental principles, objectives, and
structure, defining the roles of key officials and decision-making processes. Bylaws detail
specific rules governing operations like membership, voting, finance, committees, and
dispute resolution. Regulations specify how roll ball competitions are organized, covering
player eligibility, formats, scheduling, officiating, equipment, anti-doping, and
disciplinary measures. Additionally, policies address broader concerns such as fair play,
sportsmanship, inclusivity, sustainability, and community engagement, ensuring a
well-rounded approach to the sport's management and development at the international level.

Players participating in roll ball matches are required to adhere
to specific guidelines regarding protective gear and equipment dimensions. This includes
wearing protective gear like helmets and knee pads, with goalkeepers additionally using
chest protectors. The goal post dimensions vary based on age categories, with U-11 and U-14
using a 1.75 m high and 2 m wide goal, while U-17 and senior classes utilize a larger 2.25 m
high, 2.5 m wide goal with a 1 m depth. The ball used resembles a regular basketball, with
size and pressure specifications differing across age groups. The playing area is marked
with boundary lines and includes a free throw line, and matches consist of two 20-minute
periods with potential extensions.
Rules also regulate player movement and ball handling, emphasizing passing within specific
time limits

Players who play for another team without a legal transfer
face severe consequences as per the rules. Firstly, if discovered during or before the
final match, the player is barred from participating in the current championship and the
subsequent one.
Secondly, if the team wins while violating this rule, the match is forfeited, and the
opposing team is awarded the points.
Finally, for repeated offenses, the player is suspended from participating in the
championship for the next two years, starting from the date of
the championship's commencement, which spans from January 1st to December 31st of the
respective years.

Referees in roll ball matches are expected to uphold a high
standard of conduct and professionalism. They must maintain honesty, impartiality, and apply
the laws of the game consistently and fairly. Referees are responsible for managing the game
positively and confidently, addressing violations, aggression, and unsporting behaviors
promptly and decisively. Offensive or abusive language and behavior are not tolerated.
Referees support their colleagues and promote good behavior, respecting everyone involved in
the game. They communicate effectively with players, encouraging fair play, and respond
calmly and clearly to requests for clarification from team officials. Referees are also
required to be physically and mentally prepared for each match and submit accurate reports
within specified time limits.

Players are expected to uphold ethical standards in Roll Ball, including fair play by
adhering to the rules and avoiding cheating or unsportsmanlike conduct. Respect for everyone
involved, from opponents to officials, is crucial, with an emphasis on courtesy and avoiding
abuse. Sportsmanship means accepting wins and losses graciously, while integrity demands
honesty and avoidance of unethical practices like match-fixing. Safety measures must be
followed, and inclusivity ensures that the sport is accessible to all without
discrimination. Teamwork, respect for officials, environmental responsibility, and community
engagement are also core values emphasized within the Roll Ball community.

Roll ball, a thrilling sport amalgamating basketball, handball, and roller skating, is
governed by a set of key rules and regulations. Played on a court similar in size to
basketball's, with circular goals at either end, each team fields six players, including a
goalkeeper, who wear roller skates throughout the match. The primary objective is to score
goals by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal, all while safeguarding one's own. The
game initiates with a jump ball at the center circle, dictating initial ball possession.
Players employ dribbling, passing, and shooting techniques to advance the ball, adhering
strictly to rules on traveling and double dribbling. Goals are credited when the ball fully
traverses the goal line. Defensively, players block shots, intercept passes, and strive to
regain possession without resorting to physical contact deemed foul, such as pushing or
holding, which results in penalties or free throws. Penalty shots, awarded for severe
infractions, challenge the shooter against the goalkeeper one-on-one. Matches are typically
divided into two halves, each lasting around 20-25 minutes, with a halftime intermission for
strategizing and rest.

The coach's responsibilities include ensuring that players understand and uphold fair play
rules, avoiding any behavior that may provoke players, accepting referee decisions without
complaint, prohibiting drug use among players, and avoiding risky practices that could harm
players' development. They must also refrain from manipulating rules, insulting officials,
or consuming alcohol, tobacco, or drugs during matches. Coaches should support players
positively, encourage amicable resolution of disputes, adhere to facility rules, and treat
everyone involved with fairness and respect. Safety of players should be a top priority, and
coaches should exemplify sportsmanship and the spirit of roll ball.

Players in different age groups have specific playing times: 15 minutes for Junior (under
17), 10 minutes for Sub-Junior (under 14), and 7 minutes for Mini (under 11). Teams are
allowed up to 2 timeouts per half in the senior group and 1 timeout per half in the Junior,
Sub-Junior, and Mini age groups, with no consecutive timeouts permitted. Officials cannot
intervene during team timeouts for official work. There are strict rules regarding player
age, with penalties including match forfeiture, player suspension, and association or
federation suspension for violating age regulations in Mini, Sub-Junior, or Junior
championships. Players must wear neat, numbered, and association-branded uniforms as per the
stipulated color code, without wearing any potentially dangerous accessories during play.

To ensure fair play and uphold good character, all players,
coaches, and officials must adhere to the anti-doping rules set by WADA (World Anti-Doping
Agency). This applies to individuals registered with the IRBF (International Roll Ball
Federation), and any violations will be officially addressed by the IRBF under WADA's
jurisdiction. The Anti-Doping Rules are applicable to various personnel, including players
responsible for avoiding banned substances and doping methods not approved by WADA.
Penalties can be imposed on any violations, whether it's for registered individuals
participating in international championships or those in contract with the IRBF.
Additionally, support personnel within IRBF's jurisdiction are also subject to these rules.
It is prohibited for anyone to possess, consume, or assist in the use or supply of banned
substances to others within the IRBF community. Mandatory dope testing may be conducted by
the IRBF at any time, and violations will result in penalties according to WADA's code.
