The object of the game is for a team to score by throwing the ball past the opposing
goalkeeper into the goal.
Players may advance the ball by throwing, passing, and dribbling; they may also stop,
throw, catch, bounce, or strike the ball with their hands, arms, head, body, thighs, or
knees.
Players can hold the ball for a maximum of three seconds and may take a maximum of
three steps while holding it.
Unlimited dribbling allowed with three steps permissible both before and after
dribbling.(no double dribbling)
Defensive players cannot endanger an opponent with the ball, nor can they pull, hit, or
punch the ball out of the hands of an opponent. Contact with the ball below the knee is
also not allowed, and players cannot dive on the floor for a rolling or stationary ball.
Balls that go out of bounds are thrown in from the sideline or corner of the endline. A
throw-in is awarded when the ball goes out of bounds on the sideline or when the ball is
last touched by a defensive player (excluding the goalie) and goes over the endline.
For a minor foul or violation, a free throw is awarded to the opponent at the exact spot
the foul or violation occurred. The thrower must keep one foot in contact with the floor
when passing or shooting.
The referee will give only one warning to a player for rule violations and a total of three
to a team. Exceeding these limits results in a 2-minute suspension during which the
penalized team must play shorthanded. Three 2-minute suspensions result in a
disqualification. A disqualified player must leave the court and bench, but can be
replaced after the 2-minute suspension expires.
