Question

When a penalty stroke is awarded?

Answer 1

1. For a defender’s foul inside the circle that doesn’t stop a likely goal from being scored.
2. For a deliberate foul in the circle by a defender against an opponent who doesn’t have the ball or a chance to play it.
3. For a deliberate foul committed by a defender outside the circle but inside their own 23-metre area.
4. For deliberately hitting the ball over the back line by a defender. However, goalkeepers are allowed to deflect the ball with their stick, protective gear, or any part of their body in any direction, even over the back line.
5. For a foul by a defender inside the circle that stops a likely goal from being scored.
6. If the ball strikes equipment lying in the circle and stops a likely goal, a penalty stroke can be given.
7. For a deliberate foul in the circle by a defender against an opponent trying to play the ball.
8. If another foul or misconduct happens before the awarded penalty is taken.
