A goal cannot be scored using the hand pass method, although points can be scored this way. A goal scored by hand will count if the referee deems it not to have been by the hand pass method. If a defender plays the ball through his own goalposts, weather by foot or by hand, the appropriate score is awarded to the attacking team. A defending player may score an own goal with a hand pass. 6 Other Teams are made up of fifteen players.
Players wear a jersey with their team colours, and number on the back.
Both teams must have differing jerseys. Goalkeepers' jerseys may not be similar to the jersey of any other player. Referees normally tog out in black jerseys, but this is not required at lower levels. Goalkeepers may not be physically challenged whilst inside their own small parallelogram, but players may harrass them into playing a bad pass, or block an attempted pass. Teams are allowed a maximum of three substitutes in a game.
