Entering the goal area is not penalized when:
  A player enters the goal area after playing the ball, as long as this does not create a
disadvantage for the opponents
  A player from one of the teams enters the goal area without the ball and does not gain an
advantage by doing so.
The ball is considered to be ‗out of play‘ when the goalkeeper controls the ball with his hands in the
goal area. The ball must be put back into play through a goalkeeper-throw.

7) Playing the Ball, Passive Play
It is permitted to:
7:1 throw, catch, stop, push or hit the ball, by using hands (open or closed), arms, head, torso, thighs,
and knees;
7:2 hold the ball for a maximum of 3 seconds, also when it is lying on the floor
7:3 take a maximum of 3 steps with the ball; one step is considered taken when:
a) a player who is standing with both feet on the floor lifts one foot and puts it down again, or moves
one foot from one place to
another;
b) a player is touching the floor with one foot only, catches the ball and then touches the floor with the
other foot;
c) a player after a jump touches the floor with one foot only, and then hops on the same foot or
touches the floor with the other foot;
d) a player after a jump touches the floor with both feet simultaneously, and then lifts one foot and
puts it down again, or moves one foot from one place to another.
7:4 while standing or running:
a) bounce the ball once and catch it again with one or both hands;
b) bounce the ball repeatedly with one hand (dribble), and then
catch it or pick it up again with one or both hands;
c) roll the ball on the floor repeatedly with one hand, and then catch
it or pick it up again with one or both hands.
As soon as the ball thereafter is held in one or both hands, it must
be played within 3 seconds or after no more than 3 steps.
The bouncing or dribbling is considered to have started when the player touches the ball with any part
of his body and directs it towards the floor.
After the ball has touched another player or the goal, the player is allowed to tap the ball or bounce it
and catch it.
7:5 move the ball from one hand into the other one;
7:6 play the ball while kneeling, sitting or lying on the floor; this means that is it permitted to execute
a throw (for instance a free-throw), from such a position, if the requirement of having a part of one
foot in constant contact with the floor.
It is not permitted to:
7:7 after the ball has been controlled, to touch it more than once, unless it has touched the floor,
another player, or the goal in the meantime;  however, touching it more than once is not penalized, if
the player is ‗fumbling‘ the ball, i.e, failing to control it when trying to catch or stop it;
7:8 touch the ball with a foot or leg below the knee, except when the ball has been thrown at the
player by an opponent
7:9 Play continues if the ball touches a referee on the court.
7:10 If a player with the ball moves outside the playing court with one or both feet (while the ball is
still inside the court), for instance to get around a defending player, this shall lead to a free-throw for
the opponents.
Passive Play
7:11 It is not permitted to keep the ball in the team‘s possession without making any recognizable
attempt to attack or to shoot on goal.
Similarly, it is not allowed to delay repeatedly the execution of a throw-off, free-throw, throw-in, or
goalkeeper-throw for one‘s own team. This is regarded as passive play, which is to be penalized with
a free-throw against the team in possession of the ball unless the passive tendency ceases. The free-throw is taken from the spot where the ball was when play was interrupted.
7:12 When a tendency to passive play is recognized, the forewarning Signal is shown. This gives the
team in possession of the ball the opportunity to change its way of attacking in order to avoid losing
possession. If the way of attacking does not change after the forewarning signal has been shown, or no
shot on goal is taken, then a free-throw is called against the team in possession.
In certain situations the referees can call a free throw against the team in possession also without any
prior forewarning signal, e.g. when a player intentionally refrains from trying to utilize a clear scoring
chance.

8) Fouls and Unsportsmanlike Conduct
It is permitted to:
8:1 a) use arms and hands to block or gain possession of the ball;
b) Use an open hand to play the ball away from the opponent from any direction;
c) Use the body to obstruct an opponent, even when the opponent is not in possession of the ball;
d) Make body contact with an opponent, when facing him and with bent arms, and maintain this
contact in order to monitor and follow the opponent.
It is not permitted to:
8:2
a) Pull or hit the ball out of the hands of an opponent;
b) Block or force away an opponent with arms, hands or legs;
c) Restrain or hold (body or uniform), push, run or jump into an opponent;
d) Endanger an opponent (with or without the ball).
8:3
Violations of Rule 8:2 may occur in the struggle for the ball; however, violations where the action is
mainly or exclusively directed at the opponent and not at the ball, are to be punished ‗progressively‘.
This means that, in addition to a free-throw or 7-meter throw, there is also a need for a personal
punishment, beginning with a warning, followed by increasingly severe punishments, such as
suspensions and disqualifications.
However, the referees have the right to determine that a particular violation warrants an immediate 2-minute suspension, even if the player did not previously have a warning.
8:4 Physical and verbal expressions that are incompatible with the spirit of good sportsmanship are
regarded as constituting unsportsmanlike conduct (for example see Clarification No. 5). This applies
to both players and team officials on or off the playing court. Progressive punishment also applies in
the case of unsportsmanlike conduct.
8:5 A player who endangers the opponent's health when attacking him, shall be disqualified
particularly if he:
a) From the side or from behind, either strikes or pulls back the throwing arm of a player who is in the
process of throwing or passing the ball;
b) takes any action resulting in the opponent being struck on the head or neck;
c) Deliberately hits the body of an opponent with his foot or knee or in any other way; this includes
tripping;
d) pushes an opponent who is running or jumping, or attacks him in such a way that the opponent
loses control of his body; this also applies when a goalkeeper leaves his goal area in connection with a
counter-attack from the opponents;
e) hits a defending player in the head with a free-throw taken as a direct shot on goal, assuming that
the defending player was not moving; or similarly, hits the goalkeeper in the head with a 7-meter
throw, assuming that the goalkeeper was not moving.
8:6 Seriously unsportsmanlike conduct by a player or team official on or outside the court shall be
punished with disqualification.
8:7 A player who is guilty of assault during the playing time shall be excluded. Assault outside the
playing time leads to a disqualification. A team official who is guilty of assault shall be disqualified.

9) Scoring
9:1 A goal is scored when the entire ball has completely crossed the goal line, provided that no
violation of the rules has been committed by the thrower, a teammate or a team official before or
during the throw. A goal shall be awarded if there is a violation of the rules by a defender but the ball
still goes into the goal. A goal cannot be awarded if a referee has interrupted the game before the ball
has completely crossed the goal line. A goal shall be awarded to the opponents if a player plays the
ball into his own goal, except in the situation where a goalkeeper is executing a goalkeeper-throw.
9:2 A goal that has been awarded can no longer be disallowed, once the referee has blown the whistle
for the subsequent throw-off to be taken. (See, however, Rule 2:9 Comment).
The referees must make clear (without a throw-off) that they have awarded a goal, if the signal for the
end of a half sounds immediately after a goal is scored and before a throw-off can be taken.

10) The 7-Meter Throw
14:1 A 7-meter throw is awarded when:
a) A clear chance of scoring is illegally destroyed anywhere on the court by a player or a team official
of the opposing team;
b) There is an unwarranted whistle signal at the time of a clear chance of scoring;
c) A clear chance of scoring is destroyed through the interference of someone not participating in the
game, for instance a spectator entering the court or stopping the players through a whistle signal By
analogy, this rule also applies in the case of a ‗force majeure‘, such as a sudden electrical failure, that
stops the game precisely during a clear chance of scoring.

11) The Punishments
1.  All punishments given by the referee must be followed respectively.

12) The Referees
1.  Only 1 referee will be in-charge during a game.
2.  Referee will be selected based on availability (DESCENDING priority):
  Club, National handball player.
  Handball Coach
  University‘s Handball player.
  Teachers from Department of Physical Training and Sports
3.  The referee will have full professional authorities in judging and conducting the game.
4.  Any orders from the referee must be followed and obeyed throughout the game play.

their own disputes. Any doubt can refer to the observers.
18.  Spirit of the Game — Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is

the basic joy of play.
