TYPES OF THROWS


  • The throw-off. The game starts with a throw-off. The throw-off takes place in the center of the court. Here, the thrower has to touch the middle line with one foot while all of the other players stay in their own half. The team that wins the coin toss and wants to start with the ball begins the throw off.


    • After the whistle blows, the player with the ball in the center of the court passes the ball to a team-mate and play starts.
    • Every time a goal is scored, the opposing team gets the ball for another throw-off. A throw-off also occurs after half-time.
  • The throw-in. If the ball leaves play, then the team that didn't touch the ball last gets a throw-in.


  • There are more types of throw like: free-throw, referee throw, 7-meter and goal-throw.
