Rule Changes for 2009
 Experimental changes are going to be made during
this year.
SOME OF THESE CHANGES ARE :
 A free hit awarded within 5 metres of the circle to the
attack is taken at the nearest point 5 metres from the
circle. (SACAR LA BOCHA HASTA LOS 5 METROS)
 when a free hit is awarded to the attack within the 23
metres area, all players other than the player taking
the free hit must be at least 5 metres from the ball,
the ball is moved using a push or hit.(TODOS A 5
METROS)
Rule Changes for 2009
 If the player taking the free hit is the next player to play
the ball, the actions of taking the free hit and of next
playing the ball must be two separate actions
(AUTOPASE UN METRO Y DEPUES TOCAR LA
BOCHA)
 From a free hit awarded to the attack within the 23
metres area, the ball must not be played into the circle
until it has travelled at least 5 metres or has been
touched by a player of either team other than the player
taking the free hit. PUEDO SALIR JUGANDO EN
