XV - The Throw-In
A throw-in is a method of restarting play.
A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in.
 A throw-in is awarded:
 | when the whole of the ball passes over the touch line, either on the
ground or in the air from the point where it crossed the touch line to the
opponents of the player who last touched the ball
|
Procedure
At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower:
| faces the field of play
| has part of each foot either on the touch
| line or on the ground outside the touch line
| uses both hands
| delivers the ball from behind and over his head
|
| | | |
The thrower may not touch the ball again until it has touched another player.
The ball is in play immediately it enters the field of play.
