Throw-in A restart where the ball is thrown in from the touchline after the ball went out of bounds from the touchline. The whole ball must pass the touchline before it can be declared out of bounds. If the ball goes directly into the opponents goal from a throw-in, no score. Restart will be a goal kick by the opponent. The ball must touch another player before the thrower can touch the ball again. Execution: Hold the ball with both hands starting from the back of the head and throwing forward, passing through the head. Both feet must be on/touching the ground.
