(running time). The game may be shortened at the
discretion of the Supervisor if necessary.
 All ties at the end of regulation will be ties. During
the playoffs, ties will be decided by a 5-minute
golden goal period in which the first team to score
will win.
 Mercy Rule: All games with a 10-goal differential at

General
Rules
 Handball will be played 5v5 and teams must have
at least four (4) players at gametime to avoid a

equipment will not be allowed to participate.

Player Rules
 Players may sub at any time. These
substitutions must be an even switch on the
sideline. In the last 2 minutes, if a team is down
by two (2) or less goals, the goalie may be
pulled, but this player loses all rights of the
goalie. If the goalie is pulled, they may not sub.
 Players may not intentionally slide. Players that in
the official's judgment slide will be assessed a
warning and the opposing team will be granted a
penalty shot. Players that slide a 2nd time will be
ejected from the contest and the opposing team
will be granted a penalty shot.

Player Rules
 Passive Play: It is illegal to keep the ball in a
team's possession without making a recognizable
attempt to attack and to try to score. A free throw
will be awarded to the other team.
 Players are allowed to run with the ball for 3 steps,
hold the ball for 3 seconds, and unlimited dribble
with 3 steps allowed before and after dribbling (no
double dribble).
 Free-throws are awarded for all infractions, unless
noted in the rules above. For a minor foul or
violation, a free-throw is awarded to the opponent at
the exact spot it took place. If the foul or violation
occurs within 2 yards of the goal area line, the throw
is taken from the nearest spot 2 yards away from the
goal area line.

Goalies
 Only the goalkeeper is allowed in the goal area.
 The shooting player may fly into the goal area to
shoot the ball but may not touch the shooting line
before the ball is released. Once the shooter comes
down in the goal area, they must make an
immediate attempt to exit the area:
 If the offensive player enters the area, the
goalie takes possession of the ball and throws
the ball back into play.
 If a defensive player enters the goal area a
penalty shot is awarded to the offensive team.

Goalies
 When the goalie throws, rolls or kicks the ball, it must hit
another player before crossing the half-line. If the ball
crosses the half-line, the opposing team must be the first
to gain possession and control of the ball. Otherwise, the
play will be called dead and the ball given to the
opposing team's goalie. Goal-throw is awarded when the
ball rebounds off the goalkeeper over the endline or the
ball is thrown over the endline by the attacking team.
 Goalies are not allowed to cross over the half line.
 Goalies may only sub in between periods unless the
goalie is ejected or suffers an injury.
 Goal-Throw: The goalie takes the throw inside the goal
area and is not restricted by the 3-step/3-second rule.
When putting the ball back in play goalies cannot carry the
ball outside of their “goal box”. The goalie must pass the
ball to put it back into play.

Throw In
A throw-in is awarded when the ball goes out of
bounds on the sideline or when the ball is last
touched by a defensive player (excluding the
goalie) and goes out of bounds over the endline.
The throw-in is taken from the spot where the
ball crossed the sideline, or if it crossed the
endline, from the nearest corner. The thrower
must place one foot on the sideline to execute
the throw. All opposing players must stay 3
meters away from the ball.

Shooting
 Field players may not enter the shooting arc (3
point line) unless their momentum carries them
into the area. If this happens, they must
immediately leave the shooting arc once their
momentum has stopped.
 Players may score off any type of throw as long
as they do not enter the shooting arc.
 When shooting, the ball must be released before
touching the ground and the offensive player
must immediately leave the arc if the shot is
missed and play resumes.
 If a rebound is gained by the offensive team and
is scored while an offensive player is within the
goal crease, the goal is disallowed.

Defending
 If there are any defenders in the goal area at any
time, the offensive team will receive a penalty
shot.
 All fouls will result in a restart (free-throw)
granted at the site of the infraction.
 There is NO diving, sliding, holding, pushing or
roughing during Intramural Team Handball.
These will result in a penalty and/or a UC.

2‐minute penalty, with no replacement, which may be
increased up to five minutes by the official or supervisor
