Question Number: 14447Law 15 - Throw In 11/15/2006RE: AYSO Under 12 Dave Huhman of Lancaster, CA USA asks...Sometimes a throw in will go down the touch line and curve or be blown out before completely entering the field. On a throw in, does the ball have to completely cross the touch line to be considered "in play", or is it enough for any part of the ball to cross the outer part of the line? Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson Hi Dave,
No!
