iii. Going more than 4 steps with the ball in the hand (it may be carried indefinitely on the hurley though)


iv. Catching the ball three times in a row without it touching the ground (touching the hurley does not count)


v. Putting the ball from one hand to the other


vi. Hand-passing a goal


vii. Throwing the hurley


viii. Square ball: If, at the moment the ball enters "the square", the small rectangle surrounding the goal, there is already an attacking player inside, a free out is awarded.
