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.
  

• 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.
