the player passes the line they are out.

on each team’s side. A player is allowed to enter this area to retrieve a ball, but is
not allowed to throw within this zone at the start of the game. If a player throws the
ball in the “no throw zone” they are out. The feet must be behind the no throw zone
to throw the ball.
