A player must be allowed to take up their position to take the throw. No opponent may contact the player or their equipment until the throw is taken. The opposition must not attempt to prevent the ball from travelling one meter measured horizontally. Infringement incurs a sanction. Signals 11 and 14 or signals 11 and 15 apply.

.5 Where an infringement occurs that requires the awarding of a free-shot or free-throw. The shot or throw should be taken at a point that, in the referees sole discretion, best advantages the team. The referee will indicate that the shot or throw be taken either where the infringement occurred or, where the ball was at the time of the infringement, or where the ball landed if it was in flight at the time of the infringement. However, a defence of goal infringement must be taken where the infringement occurred.
.6 Where a free-shot is awarded within one (1) meter of the goal the free shot will be taken at the nearest point one (1) meter from the goal line.
