To start game play, the team must IN BOUNDS the ball. The ball must cross half court before a shot can be taken. After a goal is scored the ball must be IN BOUNDS and cross half court.
During the course of the game, the players of each team are not allowed to interfere with players of the other team: they may not intercept passes, interfere with the movements of the person carrying the ball or his team-mates, or stop a defender from positioning himself to catch the ball after the rebound.
When a pass is dropped or not completed (i.e. the ball touches the ground), the other team gets possession

6. Playing the Game
The team that has possession shoots the ball at the rebound surface on either end of the court.
Members of the other team must place themselves according to where they expect the ball to land, so that they can catch it before it touches the floor.
Meantime, members of the other team look to position themselves to recover the ball after it rebounds from the rebound surface, before the ball can touch the floor.
A point is awarded when the ball is shot off of the rebounder and lands on the ground.
