⚠️ Fouls and Misconduct
Indirect free kicks are awarded for all acts of handball or fouls and misconduct.
When an indirect free kick is taken:

- A goal can be scored only if the ball touches another player before entering the goal
Most acts of handball or fouls at this level are caused by lack of coordination with no intent. Game Leaders should try to give advantage to the attacking team and continue play where possible.

Important: Portable goals must be anchored securely to the ground using sandbags or pegs to comply with Australian Safety Standards.
