Study Notes

Each team has six players on the court, including one goalie.
The game starts with a rock-paper-scissors toss to determine which team gets the ball first.
The team with the ball must throw it to a teammate, and the game begins when the pass is made.
Both teams can cross the center line after the pass.
The objective is to pass the ball and throw it into the defending team's goal.
A player with the ball can take three steps, three dribbles, or a combination of three steps and three dribbles, but cannot double dribble.
On defense, teams can intercept passes, knock them down, or guard players to prevent them from catching the ball.
Defense cannot steal the ball from a player's hands or make physical contact with another player.
The crease area in front of the goal is off-limits to players except the goalie.
If a player shoots the ball and lands inside the crease, it's allowed as long as the ball is out of their hands when they land.
Goalies can use any part of their body to block shots and have three steps to throw the ball to a teammate after grabbing it.
If the ball is intercepted, the defending team becomes the new offense.
If the ball hits the black mat, it's considered a goal.
After a goal, teams switch sides, and the new goalie throws the ball into play.
If the ball goes out of bounds, the team that didn't touch it gets to retrieve it.
The first pass after a ball goes out of bounds cannot be intercepted or knocked down by the defense.
If a player dives or slides for the ball, it's a penalty.
If an incomplete pass occurs, the first team to pick it up gets possession.
The wall behind the goal is not out of bounds, so play continues if the ball hits it.
Penalties include defenders stepping into the crease, shooters stepping into the crease with the ball, defenders making contact with the shooter, diving or sliding for the ball, taking more than three steps or dribbles, and double dribbling.
If a penalty occurs, the opposite team gets possession of the ball at the location of the penalty.
After a penalty, the team must pass the ball at least once before shooting.
