The rules are simple Start of Play The throw The umpire gives a short, sharp whistle to start play. The game begins with a pass from the centre. For a simultaneous foul, or when players are equidistant from a boundary when the ball is out of bounds, two opponents stand 1 metre apart. The official blows the whistle while tossing the ball underarm between the two players at shoulder height. Play continues. The player with the ball must pass while keeping one foot on the white line. Everyone else must be 3 metres away. Scoring Centre passes alternate between players, no matter who scores the goal. To indicate a goal, the umpire will give a long whistle. To score a goal, a player shoots the ball with their stick, Boundaries Indoors: play rebounds off walls if possible. Outdoors: the official chooses an area of play. Play should be as continuous as possible. and the whole ball passes over the goal line. An owngoal is scored when the ball comes off a defender s body or stick. Players may score a goal only from the attacking half of the pitch. No player may cross the goal line, but they can retrieve the ball from the goal with their stick. When the ball goes out of bounds or is trapped (in fencing, for example), then the nearest player takes possession of the ball. Everyone else must be 1 metre away. And everyone must stand at least 1 metre from the boundary.
