How do passing and kicking work in a wheelchair?

Question

Accepted Answer

Passing: you can throw or knock the ball in any direction other than towards your opponents' dead ball line. A forward pass is a throw towards the opponents' dead ball line. The direction of a pass is judged relative to the passer, so a ball thrown backwards from a moving player that travels forward over the ground is not a forward pass. Knock-on: knocking the ball towards the opponents' dead ball line with hand, arm or wheelchair while playing at it is a knock-on. A deliberate knock-on or forward pass is penalised. After an accidental one, play stops and a controlled restart play-the-ball goes to the other team, unless the player regains the ball or kicks it before it touches the ground, a goal post, the crossbar or an opponent. Heading: it is illegal to head the ball in a forward direction. Kicking: a kick means giving the ball controlled motion with any part of the arm, from forearm to hand, with a closed fist. Place kicks, drop kicks and punts are all made this way. Kicking tee: tees are allowed for starts of play, restarts after scoring and attempts at goal, and must be lower than the top of the pushing wheel.
