Defender Restart
@hockey_dynamics
The ball has to be completely over the side line to be out of play When the balls exits the pitch on the sideline, play is restarted from the point where it left and by the other team. If the ball goes out between the baseline and the long corner mark the free hit will be taken from the long corner mark. A long corner is taken is the ball exits the pitch off the baseline when the last touch was from a defending player. Self start can be used but a pass must be made before scoring a goal. When the ball exits the baseline off an attacker player, the game is restarted from the top of the defending D by the defending team.

Penalty Goal -
Shooting circles (D’s) cross the edge of the pitch. This cross point is also where long corners are taken from and are located 3 metres up from the baseline. For a team to score the whole ball has to be over the line. If lifted must not be directed towards or through players. If a goal is scored the game is re-started from the centre of the pitch. If the ball hits a players foot a free hit will only be given to the opposing team if the player gained an advantage from the ball hitting his/her foot One player is allowed to tackle one player and contact is not permitted when tackling. Players are not allowed to tackle whilst on the ground. Any deliberate offence against the rules of play will result in a turnover in play. Only when it is deemed the the last player in line who defends the goal with their feet or back of stick will a penalty goal be awarded
