This varies by league. Many leagues do not have a roster maximum. Competitive high school leagues will have roster maximums around 25 players.
However, on the field at any time there can only be 9 defensive players, the same as Major League Baseball.

I am sure rules and protocols differ from school to school; however a simple answer would be:
10 Players Total (5 Players for Each Team), as this is the minimum number of players needed (physically) to play a Basketball game (according to the typical/widely adhered to rules).
The amount of players all depends on your high school. The amount of players playing is 9 but their is usually players on the bench. If you want an exact number 11-13 is usually the amount most teams have.
In MOST areas, there are not limits. For example a bigger school may have a 15 or 18 player limit
My school only take 13.
Nine players play on the field at a time, but a high school team may have anywhere from four to ten substitutions in case of injuries, insubordination, failing off the team, etc.
