Question Number: 18655Law 15 - Throw In 3/31/2008Avery Haskell of Overland Park, KS USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 18642 I knew a kid that had one arm and the refs let him take throw in one handed. Legal? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol Yes, it's legal. The one-handed player must follow the mechanics of a throw-in to the best of his ability. For example, no side-arm, the ball must go over his head.

Cheers
