Rule 11 THE THROW-IN
11.1 A throw-in is awarded when the ball has completely crossed the side line or when a
court player on the defending team was the last one to touch the ball before it
crossed his team’s outer goal line.
11.2 The throw-in is taken without whistle signal from the referees (see, however, 15:3b),
by the opponents of the team whose player last touched the ball before it crossed
the line.
11.3 The throw-in is taken from the spot where the ball has crossed the side line, but at
least 1 meter from the point where the goal area line and the side line intersect if the
ball has crossed the outer goal line or side line within the goal area.
11.4 The thrower must stand with a foot on the side line until the ball has left his hand.
The player is not allowed to put the ball down and then pick it up himself, or to
bounce the ball and then catch it again himself (13:1a).
