No player except the goalie can hold the ball With both hands.Defensive players are not allowed to interfere with the opponent’s movements unless the player is holding the ball. Major fouls are penalized by one minute in the penalty box and a player is ejected after committing five personal fouls.For minor fouls, such as holding or punching the ball, a free throw is awarded from the spot of the foul. At least two players must touch the ball after a free throw before a goal can be scored.A game is divided into quarters ranging from five to eight minutes in length. After a tie, there are two overtime periods of three minutes each.
