Return to top of page Section III-Dribble a. A player shall not run with the ball without dribbling it. A player in control of a dribble who steps on or outside a boundary line, even though not touching the ball while on or outside that boundary line, shall not be allowed to return inbounds and continue her dribble. She may not even be the first player to touch the ball after she has re-established a position inbounds. A player may not dribble a second time after she has voluntarily ended her first dribble.
Ball is awarded to opponent nearest the spot of the violation.
The ball is awarded to the opponent at the original spot of the throw-in. A player shall not kick the ball or strike it with the fist. Kicking the ball or striking it with any part of the leg is a violation when it is an intentional act. The ball accidentally striking the foot, the leg or fist is not a violation. If the violation is by the defense, the offensive team retains possession of the ball at the sideline nearest the spot of the violation.
