If a player puts their entire body in front of the front line and touches the ball coming at them, they will incur a penalty. The ball must be blocked with some part of the body inside the team's end of the court. These penalties can eventually result in the player's ejection from the game. Team penalties, penalties which cannot be attributed to one person, can also be assessed. The last person to throw the ball for the penalized team will defend the goal.
