Out of Bounds

Throw Ins

If the ball crosses the sideline of the field, it is played back into the game with a throw in. The ball must go completely over the line to be out of play.  99% out is 100% in.

The thrower must use two hands and keep both feet on the ground. They must release the ball above their head using a fluid motion. In other words you can’t just drop the ball at your feet.

Goal Kicks and Corner Kicks

If the ball crosses the goal line the game is restarted with either a goal kick or a corner kick.  If the defending team had the last touch on the ball, then it’s a corner kick.  If the attacking team had the last touch, then the ball is given to the defending team for a goal kick.
