The following are considered technical fouls:
- Picking the ball directly off the ground (It must be scooped up into the hands by the foot).
- Going more than 4 steps without throwing, bouncing or soloing the ball. (Soloing involves kicking the ball into one's own hands)
- Bouncing the ball twice in a row (It may be soloed continuously)
- Hand passing the ball over an opponent's head, then running around him to catch it
- Hand passing a goal (the ball may be punched into the goal from up in the air, however)
- Square ball, an often controversial rule: If, at the moment the ball enters the small rectangle, there is already an attacking player inside the small rectangle, then a free out is awarded.
- Changing hands: passing the ball from your right-hand to left or vice-versa.
The field dimension is 110 X 55 meters.
