1:4 In front of each goal there is a goal area (see diagram 5).The goal area is defined by the
goal-area line (6-meter line), which is drawn as follows :
a) a 3 meter long line directly in front of the goal ; this line is parallel to the goal line and 6 meters away from it (measured from the rear edge of the goal line to the front edge of the goal-area line) ;
b) two quarter circles, each with a radius of 6 meters (measured from the rear inner corner of the goalposts), connecting the 3 meter long line with the outer goal line (see diagrams 1 and 2a).
1:5The free throw line (9-meter line) is a broken line, drawn 3 meters outside the goal-area line. Both the segments of the line and the spaces between them measure 15cm (see diagram 1).
