The majority of the players does not achieve the upper end of the scale: two thirds of all players have a handicap of 2 goals or less.

The best of the best: the goalers There are currently only nine players across the world who have the highest possible handicap of 10 goals.
As each country determines its own handicap, players in Argentina may play at 10 goals in Argentina, but they would be playing at just 9 goals in the USA. The differences are sometimes even greater than this.

Dangerous play or rough handling is not allowed - a player may ride an opponent off, but must not charge in at an angle. The following penalties may be given. A goal is given if the cross is dangerous or deliberate in the vicinity of the goal.
The ball is then thrown in 10 yds in front of the goal without ends being changed. Free hit from 30 yds opposite the centre of the goal - defenders to be behind the back line and outside th6 goal posts but must not ride through when the ball is hit. Free hit from 40 yds, same conditions as b. Free hit from 60 yds. Defenders to be 30 yds from ball. Free hit from the centre of the ground, none of the defending side to be nearer than 30 yds when the ball is hit.
Free hit from spot where the foul took place, no defender to be nearer than 30 yds Corners are not taken as in Association Football - instead, a free hit is given 60 yds from the goal from a spot opposite where the ball was hit behind the line, none of the defending side to be nearer than 30 yds.
