How to Use the Ball....Kicking, Handballing....Bouncing....Marking...What!?!?! A player in possession of the ball and held by an opponent must dispose of the ball immediately by kicking or handballing the ball. | Kicking Kicking the ball involves dropping the ball with one hand onto the foot....probably should practice this one standing still first. | Handball
To handball correctly, a player must hold the ball in one hand and hit it with the clenched fist of the other hand. The hand holding must not move relative to the players body. | | Marking A mark is allowed when the ball is caught from a kick which has travelled a minimum distance of 10 meters, and the ball has travelled in the air without being touched by another player. The player taking the mark may play on immediately, or go back and kick over the position where he took the mark. | The Shepard Shepherding. A player may retard the movement of an opposition player towards that of the ball, however it may only be done within 5 metres of the ball. Shepherding allows the opposition player to be pushed in the chest or side, or for the player to place his body between the opposition and the ball (when the player himself is not in posession of the ball.) cf. screens in basketball or blocking in American Football. |
