The playing court is somewhat larger than a volleyball court at 12.20 by 18.30 metres (40.03 ft
60.04 ft) with a neutral box 1.5 metres (4 ft 11.06 in) on either side of the centre. The height of
the net is 2.2 metres (7.22 ft). The ball is similar to a volleyball but may be slightly larger. While
in volleyball the ball is hit orvolleyedthroughout play, in throwball the ball is thrown over the
net, where a member of the other team tries to catch the ball and quickly throw it back across the
net.
An official game is played between two teams of seven players or nine players. A maximum of
five substitute players is allowed for each team, which can make a maximum of five substitutions
during a set. A team can take two time-outs of 30 seconds each during a set. The first team to
score 25 points wins a set. A match is three sets.
Service is within five seconds after the referee whistles and is done from the service zone,
without crossing the end line. A player can jump while serving the ball. Theservice ballmust
not touch the net. Double touch is not allowed for receiving the service ball and players stay in 3-
1-3 position during the serve.
During a rally, the ball must be caught at once with both hands, without any sound or movement
of the ball within the hands (dubs) and the player should have contact with the ground. Two
players are not allowed to catch the ball simultaneously. The ball is thrown within three seconds
after being caught, only from above the shoulder-line and only with one hand. A player can jump
when throwing the ball, which can touch the net (but not the antenna). The player should have
contact with the ground when catching the ball. However, the ball is not touched with any part of
the body other than the palm when catching or throwing (body touch). The ball can neither be
shifted (passed) to the left or right, nor deliberately pushed.
In official play, teams wear shorts and jersey uniform with numbers only in the range of 1-12
printed front and back.[
