Question Number: 23916Law 15 - Throw In 9/12/2010RE: Youth Other Ron elison of Allentown, Pa Usa asks...Just verifying. When a player is doing a throw-in he places his shoe on the sideline and about a third of his shoe is on the inside (or on the field of play) when he throws the ball in to play. Is this an illegal throw-in? Answer provided by Referee Dennis Wickham It is a proper throw in so long as any part of each foot is on the line.

This is legal. There is a myth that the foot has to be behind the line. that is not correct. As long as any part of each foot is behind or touching the line it is fine. All of the foot must be over the line for the infraction to be called which results in a turnover of the throw-in.
