WHAT IS HANDBALL PASSIVE PLAY?
The Handball Passive Play occurs when the team with ball possession plays without making any recognizable attempt to attack or to shoot on goal.
Similarly, when a player delays repeatedly the execution of a throw-off, free throw, throw-in, or goalkeeper throw for one’s own team.
HANDBALL PASSIVE PLAY PUNISHMENT
The above listed actions are regarded as passive p, which is to be penalized with a free throw against the team in possession of the ball unless the passive tendency ceases.
The free throw is taken from the spot where the ball was when play was interrupted
HANDBALL PASSIVE PLAY TENDENCY
When a tendency to passive play is recognized, the above forewarning signal is shown. This gives the team in possession of the ball the opportunity to change its way of attacking in order to avoid losing possession.
If the way of attacking does not change after the forewarning signal has been shown, the referees can whistle for passive play at any moment.
If no shot on goal is taken by the attacking team after a maximum of 6 passes, then a free throw is called against this team
In certain situations, the referees can call a free throw against the team in possession also without any prior forewarning signal, e.g. when a player intentionally refrains from trying to utilize a clear scoring chance.
