88 BALL IN PLAY 1. The ball is in play once it has been thrown in or kicked after the referee has given the signal to start play. 2. The ball is in play until the whole ball has passed over the goal line, end line or side line, or the referee signals a stoppage in play. 3. If the ball strikes the referee, in general play, a throw in should be given. However if the team that had possession of the ball retained possession of it, the referee should allow play to continue. If it strikes the referee from a free, the free shall be retaken. 4. A referee must extend time in each half for delays or extend time for a free to be taken. Where the referee indicates that it is the last kick of the half from a Free Kick, a score can only result when it is scored directly from the Free Kick or if the ball is deflected under or over the crossbar by a member of the defending team. 5. When a clashed ball crosses the end line it shall be regarded as a wide. BALL OUT OF PLAY 1. The ball is out of play when all of the ball passes outside of the boundary lines of the field of play. 2. Should the ball strike any of the flags it shall be deemed to be out of play. If the ball strikes the corner or sideline flags it is a side - line ball. SCORES 1. A score results when the ball is kicked, flicked, fisted or palmed in flight by any part of the body, except when thrown or carried over the line by the Attacking Side. 2. A goal is not allowed if the ball is fisted or palmed directly from the hands over the goal line. 3. Any player who falls or is knocked to the ground whilst in possession of the ball may fist or palm the ball away on the ground and may score by doing so. 4. Should a defender play the ball in any manner through her own scoring space it shall count as a score Playing Rules
