How the result works

Learn the restart. No contact. Five gates in a 20 x 6 m lane.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Starting the next rollball attempt before the field and retrieval lane are clear.

Safety: There is no defender and no live ball on the ground. Players approach every placement under control and keep feet away from the ball handler's hands.
