Deliberate Handling
HANDBALL is not a foul
Handling
Deliberate act of a player making contact with
the ball with hand or arm
o How do we know?
o Deliberate action
o “Deliberate – not “intentional”
o Hand not in “normal” playing position
o “Normal” doesn’t mean “normal for this person”
o Continues initially accidental contact
o “Ball hits hand” and then hand is used to direct it
The Reality of Deliberate Handling
It’s the “cause” not the “result”
If contact NOT deliberate, “gaining an
advantage” doesn’t make it a foul!
“Self-protection” is allowed.
Distance from ball
Speed of ball
Normal reaction vs. deliberate
handling
Remember ….
• Goalkeepers outside of the penalty area
• No special rights
• Deliberate handling is still a DFK foul!
