RULES IN BRIEF Goalkeepers within the goal area are not limited in how many times they can touch the ball, how many steps they can take with the ball, and so on. Also, they may defend goals with any part of their bodies, including their feet. All lines on the court are considered in play. Players cannot put the ball out of play deliberately. Players may be warned for fouls or misconduct (yellow card), suspended for two minutes or, for serious or continual offences, disqualified from a match (red card). After two minutes, a substitute may replace the disqualified player. The highest form of punishment is exclusion, where a player is ejected and no replacement is allowed. Teams have five substitutes. Players may be substituted at any time, as often as desired. Each team is allowed a one-minute time-out per half.
