Question Number: 26582Law 15 - Throw In 7/28/2012RE: competitive Under 13 morris of Hamilton, ontario canada asks...on a through in
can i step on the line Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Morris
Yes a player may step on the line taking a throw in. In fact as long as any part of the player's foot is touching the line that is also legal. So a player could have part of his foot over the line and as long as any part of the foot is on the line, say the heel, that is legal.

View Referee Joe McHugh profileAnswer provided by Referee Gary Voshol The requirement in Law 15 is that part of each foot must be on the ground, on or behind the line.
It doesn't say where the other part of the foot may be, so not only can you step on the line, you can step so your foot is partially over the line.
